（Ⅱ）
Jennifer was halfway down the stairs when she turned and took one last look at her room. 21 high school and going away to college was like the 22 pause at the ending of a chapter in a good book, and she was 23 to turn the page.
Jennifer went down the stairs to where her mother and father, 24 quiet, were waiting. She even felt a sense of guilt deep 25 her when she admitted to herself how longingly she had 26 getting away from her home and starting a new life in the college.
They went out through the front door. Dad put the suitcases in the back of the 27 , and then came forward to hold the front door open.

"Well, I’m on my way. Don’t worry about me, everything will be OK, " Jennifer said 32 .

Through the window, Jennifer held 34 with her eyes as the train moved away slowly. They were standing close together, and somehow it 35 the memory of that day when she was seven — when she had persuaded them to let her 36 the big Ferris wheel(摩天轮) all by herself. She had sat still in the 37 middle of the seat as she did just now in the car, feeling 38 that even if she fell, even if the Ferris wheel itself fell, she had known they would catch her.
Suddenly she felt tears 39 her eyes. She wiped her eyes one last time and found her parents out of 40 when she looked back again.

A
Editor Henry Slocum，
I read your May 10th article in the local newspaper Honesdale Times about electronic books，or e-books，with great interest．You made several good points about the disadvantages of e-books．You may have overlooked，however，some of the ways in which they are superior to traditional books．Yes，e-books are expensive，but they are also convenient．In addition，due to their environment-friendly nature, e-books have the potential to change our planet for the better．
E-books, for anyone who is unfamiliar with the term，are about the same size and shape as regular books．They have a large screen in the middle，however．This screen shows the reader a page of text that has been downloaded from a computer．Once the reader has finished reading the page on the e-book screen, he or she scrolls down to see a new page．The process continues until the entire book has been read．
As you pointed out, Mr．Slocum，it's great to lie on a warm，sandy beach with a book．You can do that just as easily with an e-book as you can with a traditional paper book．In fact，because e-books are so light, you can carry them anywhere．Say，for example，that you like to read on the bus．Which would you rather carry with you — a heavy 800-page novel，or an e-book that weighs only a few ounces?
Another important advantage is offered by e-books as well．They are more environment friendly than traditional books．At present，thousands of trees are cut down each year to meet the publishing industry’s demand for paper．Books that don’t sell are eventually returned to the publisher and destroyed．This terrible waste could be avoided if everyone used e-books，which require no paper．
Sincerely，
David Eng
