11、nience and lower prices. Last winter, she notes, she vacationed in Costa Rica and says “at least 75% of those readers were reading electronically. I was shocked to see people taking their e-readers onto the loungers（躺椅）in the pool.”Meier, 43, a marketing director in Beaver Falls, prefers her books o

12、n paper, not screens. After working on a computer all day, she says, “I want a book in my hand. Turning over its pages is my way of knowing its time to relax and slow down.” Meier, whos sticking with physical books, doesnt consider herself any kind of digital “resister.” “Im comfortable with all for

13、ms of technology,” she says. “However, when it comes to books, I suppose Im a traditionalist. My preference will always be the real thing.” To her, part of the joy of reading is the book itself: “pulling it from the shelf, inspecting the cover, letting it fall open to a random page.”Both have lots o

14、f company. Statistics show that e-book sales grew 43% last year, but thats a slowdown compared with the triple-digit increases in recent years. E-books remain the fastest-growing part of the book market but account for only about 20% of all sales, reported by publishers.Miscioscio and Meier are at o

15、pposite ends of a book business in transition.

BIt all began with a stop at a red light.Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006 . While waitin

19、g at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.“Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal.” Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered（

20、纠缠）her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.“What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds to

21、charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.Eventually, thats what the family did. The project crazy, impetuous （鲁莽的） and utterly inspiring is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” Its a book t

22、hat, frankly, Id be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by s

23、ending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, it described neurological （神经生物学的）evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights

24、 up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction. The Salwens experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less spac

25、e to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.25.

29、ked him to sell their house.CIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁荣). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly

30、 relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of ma

31、ny other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition.

They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may hav
