Dear Custmers,
I lve slipping int a cmfrtable chair fr a lng read—as I relax int the chair, I als relax int the authr’s wrds, stries, and ideas. The physical bk is s elegant that it disappears int the backgrund, and what remains is the authr’s wrld.
Tday, we AMAZON are excited t annunce Mindle, a wireless, prtable reading device with instant access t mre than 90,000 bks, magazines, and newspapers.
We’ve been wrking n Mindle fr mre than three years. Our tp design bjective was fr Mindle t disappear in yur hands — t get ut f the way — s yu can enjy yur reading. We als wanted t g beynd the physical bk. Mindle is wireless s whether yu’re lying in bed r riding a train, yu can think f a bk, and have it in less than 60 secnds. N cmputer is needed — yu d yur reading directly frm the device.
We chse the same wireless technlgy used in advanced mbile phnes. But unlike mbile phnes, there are n mnthly wireless bills, n service r data plans, and n yearly cntracts. There is n sftware t install. We want yu t get lst in yur reading and nt in the technlgy.
Mindle uses a new kind f display called electrnic paper. Sharp and natural with n strng light, reading n Mindle is nthing like reading frm a cmputer screen. Mindle weighs nly 10.3 unces — less than a paperback — but can carry tw hundred bks.
Enjy learning abut Mindle and many thanks!

Glbal animal ppulatins are declining, and we’ve gt limited time t try t fix it. That’s the utcme f a new reprt frm the Wrld Wildlife Fund (WWF), which analyzed years f data n wildlife ppulatins acrss the wrld and fund a dwnward trend in the Earth’s bidiversity.
Accrding t the Living Planet Index, animal ppulatins acrss the wrld decreased by 69% between 1970 and 2018. Nt all animal ppulatins decreased, thugh, and sme parts f the wrld saw mre dramatic changes than thers. But experts say the lss f bidiversity is a wrrying sign f what’s t cme fr the natural wrld. “The message is clear and the lights are flashing red,” said WWF Internatinal Directr General Marc Lambertini.
Accrding t the reprt’s authrs, bidiversity lss mainly results frm land-use changes driven by human activities, such as infrastructure (基础设施) develpment, energy prductin and defrestatin. But the reprt suggests that climate change — which is already causing wide-ranging effects n plant and animal species glbally — culd becme the leading cause f bidiversity lss if rising temperatures can’t be limited t 1.5℃.
Lambertini said the crisis f bidiversity lss and climate change is already respnsible fr plenty f prblems fr humans, including less access t fd and water and a rise in the spread f diseases.

WWF chief scientist Rebecca Shaw tld a radi statin that humans have the pprtunity t change hw they d things t benefit nature. “We dn’t have t cntinue the patterns f develpment we have nw. And we have an pprtunity t change the way we prduce, what we cat and hw we cnsume fd and what we waste when we cnsume ur fd,” Shaw said. “Little things that we can d every day can change the directin f animal ppulatin declines.”
8. What des the new reprt indicate abut the animal ppulatins?
A. The drp in animal ppulatins began in 1970.
B. The degree f the decrease is relatively lw.
C. All species n Earth have witnessed a drp in ppulatin.
D. Glbal animal ppulatins are declining at an alarming speed.
9. What culd becme the main threatening factr f bidiversity?
A. Land-use changes.B. Defrestatin.
C. The climate change.D. The high temperatures.
10. What is Lambertini’s attitude t wrld leaders in envirnmental issues?
A. Critical.B. Favrable.C. Tlerant.D. Neutral.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Hw t develp ecnmy.B. Hw t prevent fd waste.
C. Hw t maintain sustainable diets.D. Hw t stp animal ppulatin decline.
