【正文】 lavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. We should embrace our heritage（傳統(tǒng)）through our culture39。s food but also bee more informed about other cultures by trying their food.

Ebooks, however, are causing heartache. Libraries know they need digital wares, but many publishers are too cautious about piracy (盜版）and lost sales to cooperate. Among the big six, only Random House and Harper Collins license ebooks with most libraries. Publishers are wise to be nervous. Owners of ereaders (電子閱讀器）are exactly the customers they need: booklovers with money. If these people switch to borrowing ebooks instead of buying them, what then? Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and returned to a physical library miles from where you live, book files can be downloaded at home. The files disappear from the device when they are due. Elending is not simple, however. There are lots of different and often inpatible (不兼容的)ebook formats, devices and licenses. Most libraries use a pany called OverDrive，which secures rights from publishers and provides ebooks and audio files in every format. Yet publishers and libraries are worried by OverDrive39。s global market dominance, as the pany can control fees and conditions. Publishers were annoyed when OverDrive cooperated with Amazon, the world39。s biggest online bookseller，last year. Owners of Amazon39。s Kindle ereader who want to borrow ebooks from libraries are now redirected to Amazon39。s website, where they must use their Amazon account to secure a loan. According to Pew, an opinion researcher, library users are a perfect for market for Amazon. Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners39。 Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of thousands of popular books each month. Library supporters argue that book borrowers arc also book buyers and that libraries are vital spaces for readers to discover new work. Many were cheered by a recent Pew survey, which found that more than half of Americans with library cards say they prefer to buy their ebooks. So publishers keep adjusting their lending arrangements in search of the right balance. Random House raised its licensing prices earlier this year, and Harper Collins limits libraries to lending its titles 26 times. （1）It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that .
