In America,where labor costs are so high, do-it-yourself is a way of life.Many people
36 their own car,build their own garages,even rebuild their own
37 .Soon they may also be writing their own books.In Hollywood there is a company
38 publishes(出版) Children’s books
39 the help of computers.Although other book
40 also publish that way,this particular company is very
41 .It “personalizes”(使个性化)the book by having the computer make the reader the leading character in the story.Here is
42 they do it.Let us say your child
43 Jenny.She lives on Oak Drive in St. Louis,has a dog named Spot,a cat named Tabby,and three playmates
44 names are Betty,Sandy ,and Jody.The computer uses this
45 to fill out a story that has
46 been prepared and illustrated(发行).The story is then printed(印刷) with standard equipment
47 a hard-cover book.A child who 48 such a book might say,”This book is about me”;the company therefore calls
49 the Me-book Publishing Company”.
Children like the Me-books because they like to see their own names in print and
50 of their friends and their pets.
51 more important ,”personalization” has been
52 to be important tool(工具) in
__53 enthusiasm(热情) for reading.So Me-books are helping
54 to learn how to read,
55 appealing to(吸引) that natural desire to see his own name in print.
