E-book is short for electronic (电子的) book. It is usually read on personal computers. Some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books.      Earlier e-books were written for a specific group of readers and were about only a few subjects. With the development of the internet, knowledge and answers to a lot of questions mainly come from e-books. This is why the e-book business is increasing quickly.      E-books have many advantages. First, they save time. We don"t need to go to a bookstore to buy books, besides, we can find the topic we want to know about on the Internet, and then we can quickly get many e-books on similar topics. Second, e-books save money. Some e-books cost a little money, and there are millions of e-books on the Internet that we can get for free. Third, more trees are saved because e-books don"t need to be printed(印刷) on paper. Fourth, e-books make reading more convenient. You can carry a whole library of hundreds of books with you in a small computer or any e-book reader (电子阅读器) without worrying about their weight.      But e-books have certain disadvantages. They need a personal computer or an e-book reader and the information can be lost if its file format (文件格式) is not supported or changed in the reader"s computer.      However, e-books provide us with a new way of reading. That is good.

In the United States, parents usually encourage their children to develop their potential (潜能). They pay attention to what their kids can do, not what they can"t. As a result, US boys and girls hope to be actors, athletes and doctors; many even want to become presidents when they grow up.     US parents often encourage their children to take part in all kinds of activities at school. They believe that joining in these activities can make their children mature (成熟). Schoolwork is important, but they think that social skills are important as well.      But things in China are different. Chinese parents often tell their children to study hard and pass exams.

Sitting on exercise balls brings more than a smile to students and teachers.      Some fourth-graders at Conrad Weiser West Elementary School in Womelsdorf love their new chairs--probably because they"re not really chairs at all. The kids are sitting on the air-filled balls. But different from those just for exercise, these have small legs that keep them from rolling. Sitting on a chair all day in school can make anyone want to move around. So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By using exercise balls instead of common chairs, teachers find students" posture (姿势) and attention improved.      Dotti Pownall, a fifth-grader teacher in West Virginia, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008."The students love them." she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80 percent, thought sitting on the balls helped them concentrate (专注) better: "Besides, they"re fun," says Pownall.      According to WittFitt,  a company that has sold balls to more than 200 schools, they can improve kids" posture and classroom behavior.      Exercise ball chairs are getting popular in classrooms, from preschool to college. Some adults (成人) even use them at work. Lisa Witt felt so strongly about the use of balls as chairs that she started WittFitt. She said the company not only encourages the use of balls but also educates teachers and students on how to use them."We sell balls in 24 states in America, three provinces in Canada and Japan." says Witt.
