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 .

As far back as the 11th century, “holidays”, especially the major feast days, were times of “celebration and amusement”, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it. The number of holidays steadily increased during the Middle Ages, until a medieval Englishman would have had the luxury of 40 to 50 days a year off work, depending on where he lived, in addition to a free day on Sundays. During the Reformation, Henry VIII abolished most of the holidays partly because of the Protestant (新教徒的) suspicion of saints, but more practically, because, according to historian Eamon Duffy, “A large number of holidays were making the people poor by limiting agriculture.” The people took a different view and organized a protest march—the Pilgrimage of Grace—partly to protect their days off. Though at first the religious and festive senses of holiday were bined, the word gradually came to be used for any kind of relaxing break from work. As the word was drawing away from a religious society, the number of authorized holidays was reduced, until by 1834 most workers had only four official days off a year, in addition to Sundays. Many factory workers amplified this time by staying home on “Saint Monday” to recover from what they had gotten up to the day before. By the late 19th century, employers were promising and offering halfday Saturdays,
