Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.

Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would have said
no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now, however, most
experts think that books
are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One reason is that
books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a power source. You can
read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never have to worry about losing
power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in a book than reading words on a
computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer to that
question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book, you will be able
to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small button

just bought some expensive furnitures for his new house.
