UNIT THREE THE FUTURE OF BOOKS
COMPREHENSION
1. Umberto Eco classifies memory into three types: organic memory represented by human brain; mineral memory represented by clay tablets, obelisks and electronic memory of today’s computer; and vegetal memory represented by the first papyruses and books made of paper.
2. According to Umberto Eco, the libraries function as the places for conservation of books and have been the most important way of keeping our collective wisdom. 3. ―Universal brain‖ means a place where we can retrieve what we have forgotten and what we still do not know.
4. According to paragraph 2, humans invent libraries because they know that they do not have divine powers, but they try to do their best to imitate them.
5. In the computer and Internet era, libraries should not be abolished because they should survive as museums conserving the past.
6. Compared with reading on a computer screen, reading printed books is the better way for us to read carefully, to speculate and to reflect about what we are reading. 7. Compared with computers, books have brought a lot of conveniences to humans computers can’t: books still represent the most economical, flexible way to transport information at a very low cost; books travel with you and at your speed; it is a valuable instrument and the best companions for a shipwreck.
8. Two industrially exploited inventions are as follows: one is printing on demand, namely, every book will be tailored according to the desires of the buyer; the other is the e-book which is useful for consulting information.
9. ―The idea that a new technology abolishes a previous one is frequently too simplistic.‖ What the author means is that there are a lot of new technological devices that have not made previous ones obsolete, that in the history of culture it has never been the case that something has simply killed something else. Rather, a new invention has always profoundly changed an older one.
10. In the computer and internet era, people fear the physical disappearance of books and printed material; but printed books have a future because computers encourage the production of printed material.

TEXT B
READING COMPREHENSION
1. Texts differ from dictionaries in that dictionaries are a linguistic or an encyclopedic system, while texts reduce the infinite possibilities of a system.(or...give many possible items, while texts are a closed universe.) 2. The Arabian Nights, Little Red Riding Hood and Finnegan’s Wake are cited in the passage to clarify the point that despite many possible ways to interpret them, the
6
texts are finite and limited.
3. One mistaken belief of the deconstructionists is that you have any freedom to interpret the text.(or you can do anything you want with a text)
4. The first possibility of using hypertextual strategies to ―open‖ up a finite and limited text is to enrich the story by successive contributions of different authors.(or allow different authors to develop the story)
5. Another way to make a text infinite is that at narrative disjunction, many authors can make many different choices.
6. The production of unlimited texts differs from already-produced texts in that the latter may be interpreted in infinite ways but are physically limited.
7. In a more liberated society, free creativity will coexist with the interpretation of the already written text.
8. Because the pre-established sequences of words and pages in the text stop us from inventing anything.
9. Readers can’t modify the fate of the characters in the already written book because it is decided by repressive authorial decision.
