Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(資源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(獨特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
【小題1】Children who have read "Max and Martha" picture books may know ______.
| A．how to deal with affairs at school |
| B．what to do if Max and Martha die |
| C．what to do when new babies are born into their families |

【小題1】C
【小題2】C
【小題3】B
解析【小題1】C細節理解題。第二段中間部分關于一套為孩子們寫的Max and Martha故事書，目的是幫助他們解決現實生活中有關死，新的生命及新學校的問題，說明讀了此書就該知道家里一旦有新的生命誕生如何去做。
【小題2】C細節理解題。由第二段“Her 1998 book about the death... it came out”可知答案。她的28部書已拍成電影并非電視劇；her picture books for children而非young men；D項內容與第二段最后一句不符。
【小題3】B推理判斷題。最后一段中交代Danielle Steel認為她的讀者是最重要的資源，她一直和他們通過e-mail保持聯系，可見她非常重視她的讀者。

Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.
From the consumer’s point of view, this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unable to get.
Many publishers seem to have embraced its model. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money into the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.
Some librarians criticize the Net Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.
Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by Brary. Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.
But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to point out material or copy and taste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer.
Christopher Warnock, chief executive of Brary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.
“There is not really a lot of good owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
How do publishers get money from the Net Library?
A．They get money from selling their books to the Net Library
B．They get money from the readers．
C．They get money by cutting the cost of the books．
D．They share the money with Net Library．
The underlined word“embraced”in the third paragraph means
A．tried out something hard B．held something tightly
C．disliked something badly D．taken something willingly
From the second paragraph we can see consumers
A．don’t care if they are charged money
B．enjoy the service of the Net Library
C．don’t like other people’s borrowing books
D．complain about the limited number of the new books
What does the last paragraph mean?
A．Net Library is not a good way for the consumers．
B．There is no need for consumers to have a whole book．
C，Brary is not a good library for the consumers．
D It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages．
