Volumes have been written about technology’s ability to connect people. But burying one’s nose in a book has always been somewhat isolating—with its unspoken assertion that the reader does not want to be disturbed. So what about a device that occupies the evolving intersection (交集) between? " Strangers constantly ask about it," Michael Hughes, a communications associate at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, said of his iPad, which he uses to read a mix of novels and nonfiction. "It’s almost like having a new baby. " An iPad owner for four months, Mr. Hughes said people were much more likely to approach him now than when he toted (携带) a book. "People approach me and ask to see it, to touch it, how much I like it," he said. "That rarely happens with dead-tree books."
With the price of e-readers coming down, sales of the small devices are rising. Last month, Amazon reported that so far this year, Kindle sales had tripled over last year’s. When Amazon cut Kindle’s price in June to $ 189 from $ 259, over the next month Amazon sold 180 e-books for every 100 hardcovers. Social manners surrounding the act of reading alone in public may be changing along with increased popularity. Suddenly, the lone, unapproachable reader at the corner table seems less alone. Given that some e-readers can display books while connecting online, there’s a chance the former bookworm is already plugged into a conversation somewhere, said Paul Levinson, professor of communication and media studies at Fordham University.
"I think, historically, there has been a stigma (耻辱) attached to the bookworm, and that actually came from the not-untrue notion that, if you were reading, you weren’t socializing with other people," Dr. Levinson said. "But the e-reader changes that also because e-readers are connected to bigger systems." For many, e-readers are today’s must-have accessory, eating into old notions of what being bookish might have meant. "Buying literature has become cool again," he said. [br] What is new about the e-readers compared with the former bookworms?
选项
A、They read alone in public.
B、They are the lone, unapproachable readers.
C、They can launch a conversation while reading.
D、They like to talk while reading.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。由定位句可知,由于电子书的读者可以随时联网,冈此他们可以自由地和他人发起对话,这是读电子书和读传统书籍最大的区别,故C)“读书时他们可以发起对话”为正确答案。
