Kindle 2 is so light and so cheap that it’s easy to see why people have rushed to buy it.Though I’m still not keen on the design of the Kindle,it is a vast improvement on its predecessor and certainly tolerable.Beyond the device itself,Amazon has done a great job of rolling out Kindle apps,ensuring that people like me-who have an iPad but not a Kindle can still join in the fun.
Once you’re into the Kindle ecosystem,Amazon locks you in tightly-just as Apple does with its iTunes/iPod ecosystem.It’s so easy to buy from Amazon’s store and the books are so cheap that it’s not worth the effort of going elsewhere.
While I remain opposed to Amazon’s DRM(数字版权管理)-indeed,I’m opposed to DRM on any ebooks-I have to admit
that the implementation is so smooth that most Kindle users won’t care at all that their ebooks can’t be moved to other
devices.
The ebook trend is nowhere near peaking.Over the next five years we can expect to see more and more readers move away from printed books and pick up ebooks instead.But I don’t think that will mean the death of the printed book.
There are some who prefer printed books.They like having shelves filled with books they’ve read and books they plan to
read;they like the feel of the book in their hands and the different weights and typefaces and layouts of different titles.In other words,they like the physical form of the book almost as much as the words it contains.
I can sympathize with those people.As I wrote earlier this week,my ideal situation would be for publishers to bundle
e-books with printed ones-in much the same way that film studio DVDs with digital copies of films.There’s no reason to think
that lovers of printed books will change their minds.There will undoubtedly be fewer of them as time goes by because more
people will grow up with ebooks and spend little time with printed ones.However,just as there are people who love vinyl
records(黑胶唱片),even if they were born well into the CD era,there will still be a dedicated minority who love physical books.
Since there are fewer of these people,that will mean fewer bookshops and higher prices for printed books but I don’t think the picture is entirely bleak.There is scope for smaller print runs of lavishly designed printed books and bookshops aimed at
book lovers,rather than the Stieg Larsson-reading masses.With mainstream readers out of the printed book market,
booklovers might even find they get a better experience.
According to the author,which of the following is TRUE about the future of printed books 《》（）
B.They will no longer be available in the market.
C.They will be sold in small quantity and better quality.
D.They will be redesigned to cater to the masses.

第6题：
You are the database administrator for a retail company. The company owns 270 stores. Every month, each store submits approximately 2,000 sales records, which are loaded into a SQL Server 2000 database at the corporate headquarters.
A Data Transformation Services (DTS) package transforms the sales records, as they are loaded. The package writes the transformed sales records to the Sales table, which has a column for integer primary key values. The IDENTITY property automatically assigns a key value to each transformed sales record.
After loading this month's sales data, you discover that a portion of the data contains errors. You stop loading data, identify the problem records, and delete those records from the database.
You want to reuse the key values that were assigned to the records that you deleted. You want to assign the deleted key values to the next sales records you load. You also want to disrupt users' work as little as possible.
What should you do?
A．Export all records from the Sales table to a temporary table. Truncate the Sales table, and then reload the records from the temporary table.
B．Export all records from the Sales table to a text file. Drop the Sales table, and then reload the records from the text file.
C．Use the DBCC CHECKIDENT statement to reseed the Sales table's IDENTITY property.
D．Set the Sales table's IDENTITY_INSERT property to ON. Add new sales records that have the desired key values.
解析：Explanation: DBCC CHECKIDENT is used to check the current identity value for the specified table. It can be set to correct the identity value by specifying the RESEED option with DBCC CHECKIDENT.
Note: Example:
Assume that we have a table called test with an identity column with seed (1,1) and 1000 rows and that we delete row 901 to 950. We could then issue the command
DBCC CHECKIDENT (test, reseed, 900)
And load the 50 missing rows. These rows would get the values 901, 902, …,950 in the identity column.
We should then set the identity value to 1000 again:
DBCC CHECKIDENT (test, reseed, 1000)
So that the next new row will have identity 1001.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Exporting the data from the Sales table and then reloading the data will not correct errors contained in the table as these errors will also be exported as they are part of the data already in the table.
B: Exporting the data from the Sales table and then reloading the data will not correct errors contained in the table as these errors will also be exported as they are part of the data already in the table.
D: The SET IDENTITY_INSERT command allows explicit values to be inserted into the identity column of a table. To reuse the old key values from the rows that was deleted would require manual commands and would be awkward. This is not the best solution.
