CWhen you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that youre dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny ha
25、rdcover copy that creaks (发出吱嘎声) a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones arent cheap, either. Sometimes, youd just rather have a portable paperback but if its a new book youre after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why
26、 are books released as hardcovers first?Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which
27、 consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today.Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history
28、, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does. “The hardback is a mark of quality.it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian.But the major reason why books co
29、me out as hardcovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The New York Times compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardbacks superior quality,” according t
30、o The Times. And because theyre profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback edition but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains.28. What can we learn about hardcover books from the first paragraph?A. They are heavy
31、but not expensive.B. They appeal to real book-lovers.C. They take a long time to come out.D. They are not preferred by book-lovers.29. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean?A. Increase.B. Success. C. Difference.D. Drop.30. Why are hardback books still printed today?A. They are br
32、illiantly edited.B. They convey correct information.C. They are worth collecting.D. They sell better than paperbacks.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce hardcover books.B. To present a new social finding.C. To encourage people to read books.D. To explain a confusing problem.
33、DIn 1926, US automaker Henry Ford shortened its employees workweek from six eight-hour days to five, with no pay cuts. Its something workers and labor unions had been calling for. Ford wasnt responding to worker demands; he was being a businessman. He expected increased productivity and knew workers
34、 with more time and money would buy and use the products they were making. It was a way of encouraging consumerism and productivity to increase profits, and it succeeded.Since standardization of the 40-hour workweek in the mid-20th century, everything has changed but the hours. If anything, many peo
35、ple are working even longer hours, especially in North America. This has a severe influence on human health and well-being, as well as the environment. Until the Second World War, it was common for one person in a family, usually the oldest male, to work full-time. Now, women make up 42 percent of t
36、he worlds full-time workforce. Technology has made a lot of work unnecessary, with computers and robots doing many tasks previously performed by humans.Well into the 21st century, we continue to work the same long hours as 20th century laborers, using up ever more of Earths supply to produce more go
37、ods that we must keep working to buy, use and replace in a seemingly endless cycle of hard work and consumption. Its time to pause and consider better ways to live like shifting from fossil-fueled lifestyles with which our consumer-based workweeks are connected.The UK think tank, New Economics Found
38、ation, argues that a standard 21-hour workweek would address a number of interconnected problems: “overwork, unemployment, over-consumption, high carbon emissions, low well-being, and the lack of time to live sustainably, to care for each other, and simply to enjoy life”.Economic systems that requir
39、e constant growth on a finite (有限的) planet dont make sense. Its time for a change in our economic thinking.32. Why did Ford decide to shorten the workweek?A. To make more profits.B. To cut workers pay.C. To respond to worker demands.D. To meet labor unions requirements.33. What change in the workfor
40、ce happened after World War ?A. The number of laborers decreased.B. More women worked full-time.C. Technology enabled people to work shorter hours.D.
