It treats a digital like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.From the consumer's point of view，this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel，other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found.It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced. More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works，and McGraw­Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company. The California public libraries and about 1，800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.Some librarians criticize the New Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.Kelle and some other librari ans argue for the e­book vision set forth by E­Brary. E­Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.Christopher Warnock，chief executive of E­Brarw, believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books，only the parts that interest them.“There's not really a lot of good in owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it.It doesn't m ake sense.”he said.1.

When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical andchemical means.Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leaves of the holly plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass­eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animal's teeth.Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.Many plants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.1. Why does the Holly plant have more spines on the lower leaves?
