???? ????????????Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:???? ??It is recently estimated that the book industry is trying to get a good read on its future. These days, instead of turning paper pages, many readers reach for hand held devices. These electronic readers not only Store books to show on a screen, they can also read them out loud.???? ??Last week, Amazon lowered the price of its Kindle reader by 60 dollars to just under 300 dollars. The device can download books wirelessly from a store on Amazon&39;s Website. Most new releases and best sellers cost 9 dollars and 99 cents. Newspapers, magazines and other services are available for a monthly charge. Buyers of e-books get a good deal: Traditional hard cover books often cost around 25 dollars. But what about book publishers and writers? Their concerns about profits are like the ones voiced as the Internet began to change the music industry. Many e-books are already selling for 99 cents.?? ??Books printed on paper are easily shared and resold by anyone But e-books can act more like computer software licensed only to the user who buys them.And some Kindle users got a shock last week. They were surprised to find that copies of two books disappeared from their devices. These were 99 cent versions of George Or well&39;s 1984 and Animal Farm. Blogger shave had fun pointing out that 1984 is largely about censorship(审查制度）-the suppression of information in a society led by Big Brother. Amazon explained that it did not have the rights to the books, so it erased them and returned the people&39;s money.?? ??This week, Barnes & Noble, the world&39;s largest bookseller, launched what it calls the world&39;s largest e-bookstore. People can read the books on the Apple iPhone and other hand held devices and personal computers. They can also download over a half million books available free from Google. The Internet search company is putting books online that are no longer protected by copy right. But last October, Google reached a 125 million dollar legal settlement to also make parts of some copy righted books available. That deal with two groups of writers and publishers has raised competition（竞争）issues. The Justice Department is now investigating.
