Four Top Audiobook (有声读物) Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for. The catch is that since you're technically borrowing the books, you only have two weeks to get through them before they're returned.

In early 2023, I embarked on a voyage to the Galápagos Islands. It was on Floreana Island’s windswept shore that I encountered a weathered whisky barrel — the legendary Post Office Bay mailbox. It was first used by sailors in 1793 to send mail back home: they would leave a letter and take any addressed to their next port of call to deliver
them by hand. It’s still used by tourists. People will leave a letter and take one that they are able to hand-deliver to their next destination.
The barrel was full with postcards waiting for delivery. I took a couple home and delivered them with delight: one to a teacher from her pupil, and another from a girl to her boyfriend. The recipients were incredibly grateful.
Weeks later, I couldn’t stop thinking about the letters. Then I thought what if I spent a year delivering more letters from that postbox I realised I could keep my remote job, and at the same time travel the world delivering post, using air miles-and working along the way.
By March 2024, I returned to Galápagos I picked out 55 letters and postcards that covered a large geographic area. I aimed to deliver one a week, covering at least 52 countries and spanning all seven continents.
I’m 52 and very outgoing, but I’m aware that nowadays people are cautious of speaking to one another. Delivery letter number 50, in Bergen, Norway, I almost got arrested. The lady who answered the door didn’t believe my story and mistook my selfie stick for a weapon, so she called the police. I had to show the officers my GPS location history to prove what I was doing, and we all ended up laughing together.
My favourite delivery was letter eight, in Mexico City, from a daughter to her mother, thanking her for letting her follow her dreams. The mother had been very ill, and her daughter wanted to come home from her travels to look after her, but she insisted her daughter should continue with her trip. I’m still in touch with both of them.
When I finished my challenge in March this year, I held a party in London and invited everyone I’d met along the way. People came from all over the world. I was so touched and humbled. I’ve made friends for life.
How was mail delivered at Post Office Bay in the 18th century
By regular local messengers. B．By sailors stationed on the islands. C．By private postal service on the islands. D．By hand-delivery to the next destination.
The author decided to return to Galapagos because she .
was assigned to handle some remote work
was concerned about the delivery of the letters
intended to use her air miles before the deadline
wanted to check the letters in the deserted barrel
Which words can best describe the author according to the passage
Positive and curious. B．Passionate but serious.
C．Determined and caring. D．Brave but introverted.
What can we learn from this passage
Small acts of kindness bring huge emotional rewards.
Letters hold magical power in the modern world.
Each individual is the architect of their own success.
New bonds grow out of the traditional practices.
C
It’s believed that trees appeared hundreds of millions of years ago. Specifically, five tree fossils from 350 million years ago were found in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. “These new and unusual fossil trees bear a surprising shape, and they show signs of a period of life on Earth about which we know little,” said Robert Gastaldo, a researcher who led the study.
Co-authors Olivia King and Matthew Stimson unearthed the first of these ancient trees in 2017 while doing fieldwork in New Brunswick. One of the specimens (样本) they discovered is among a handful of cases in the
entire plant fossil record — covering more than 400 million years — in which a tree’s branches and leaves are still connected to its trunk.
Few tree fossils that date back to Earth’s earliest forests have ever been found, according to Gastaldo. Their discovery helps fill in some missing pieces of the fragmentary fossil record. Most ancient tree specimens are relatively small and often discovered in the form of a fossilized trunk with a root system. Finding a well-preserved tree that could have been 15 feet tall left the researchers shocked. About the size of a small car, that fossil was covered by a sandstone rock.
“The unique fossilization of the trees is likely due to an earthquake-caused landslide that took place in an ancient lake,” Stimson said “These trees were alive when the earthquake happened. They were covered very quickly after that, at the bottom of the lake, and then the lake went back to normal.”
Fossils like these are not just useful for helping humans understand how life changed in the past, they can also help scientists figure out where life on our planet might be headed next. According to Gastaldo, this particular discovery suggests that trees of the period were starting to live in new environments that we didn’t know about before. He sees this as a sign that plants were experimenting with how they adapted to their living conditions and influenced their surroundings. The earthquake that probably led to the trees’ fossilization also offers new geological evidence of what may have been happening in Earth’s systems at the same moment in time.
What can the newly discovered fossils primarily provide
A．Hidden details of the Earth’s early life. B．Some data on changes in forest areas. C．Evidence for common environmental risks. D．Information on prehistoric human activities.
What does the underlined word “fragmentary” in paragraph 3 probably mean
Incomplete. B．Independent. C．Unnecessary. D．Impractical.
What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us about the tree fossils
Their amazing appearance. B．Their formation process. C．Their strong survival ability. D．Their impact on lake ecosystems.
What does Gastaldo’s explanation of the tree fossils imply
Trees’ fossils influence Earth’s ecosystems.
Plant fossils can be easily collected in the lake. C．Earthquake is the main cause of trees’ fossilization. D．Living things and environments are interconnected.
D
Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse ( 凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually.
Though DeformIO, which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a
feeling of continuous tactile ( 触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said.
If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen.
It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we' re exploring the applications it might be best suited to. ” Nash said.
What can be learned about DeformIO
It's a protective layer for screens. B．It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C．It performs different tasks together. D．It senses changes in users' identity.
What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs
Its adaptable appearance. B．Its better-quality sensors. C．Its small size and light weight. D．Its more realistic sense of touch.
What does the underlined phrase “interface with” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Mix up. B．Assist with. C．Connect with. D．Improve on.
What challenge might DeformIO face
Low customer interest. B．Technical design limitations. C．Insufficient development funds. D．Strong competition within the industry.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us face a tricky trap on social media: either chase endless likes with constant posting or escape by ignoring it all. We stress over this forced choice — approval or isolation — as if they can’t mix. 36．Here are three practical ways to find balance in the digital world.
Focus on genuine connections.
Likes and comments bring short-term excitement, but they fade fast. True connections matter more. When you share real stories or chat deeply with others, you feel warm inside. 37． So pick activities that make you feel truly good, like talking about hobbies or helping friends online — no need to care about likes!
38．
Peace on social media starts with how you see it. Mindful scrolling (浏览) means noticing nice things — an inspiring post, a friend’s happy news — without comparing yourself. The colors of a photo or a kind word can make you smile. You don’t need big tricks. 39． Then you’ll enjoy both: staying connected and feeling peaceful.
Celebrate small digital joys.
Every little win online — sharing a useful tip, getting a sweet reply — deserves cheers. If you only wait for lots of followers, you’ll miss daily fun. 40． For example, celebrate finishing a post you care about, not just hitting a follower goal. Treat yourself to a snack after a nice chat. These turn online time into a happy journey.
Try browsing with intention.
Chasing likes will make you tired.
Just fix your attention on the little joys online.
D．Minor accomplishments in the digital world lift your mood.
E．In fact, mixing work and rest online helps you stay balanced.
F．But our time online doesn’t have to be stuck in this dilemma.
G．That cozy glow from within doesn’t depend on likes or comments.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering ( 锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.

Every day after school,Antonio started his plan.Cold and hungry,Antonio wandered around,searching for nail bags carefully fromone street to another.To save more money,the determined boy even decided to deliver papers in the early morning.Every coin hewon went to the soda tin,his treasured "bank",and then all the tiredness disappeared magically.Each time he passed by,thebrooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile.Day by day,his soda tin became heavier and heavier.Six weeks passed before he even knew it.Then approached Christmas Eve.
The day finally came!Antonio stole into his room and cautiously took out the soda tin,poured all the coins out and began tocount.Five dollars and twenty cents!He counted it a second time,and no mistake.His hard work eventually paid off!Holding thesoda tin firmly,Antonio rushed for the shop without a second's delay.Wearing the beautiful brooch and knowing the story behindit,Susan was too overjoyed to utter a word.She just threw her arms tightly around her beloved son."Merry Christmas,Mom",theson announced proudly."You too."the proud mother echoed.Well,no dream is out of reach for a willing heart.

Four Top Audiobook (有声读物) Apps
Scribd
If you’re looking to combine your audiobook listening with e-books and news publications, Scribd might be the app for you. Its massive library includes a healthy balance of traditionally published books, bestsellers, and Scribd originals. Scribd also runs an associated program, which gives you one free month for every friend you invite, and gives your friend a two-month trial. If you're a writer, Scribd also has an open publishing platform to help you self-publish your audiobooks in minutes.
Kobo Books
Best known as an e-book retailer, Kobo Books also offers audiobooks on its platform. You get unlimited access to over 100,000 audiobooks in its library for only a few dollars. The app also does a good job organizing your purchased books, and its in-app statistics are brilliant for readers, knowing your reading habits in detail, while suggesting new recommended titles based on your history.
eStories
With over 120,000 different types of audiobooks to choose from, eStories starts off with a half-price offer for your first 3 months, and then switches to a higher-priced subscription. Members get discounted prices on additional audiobooks as well as other benefits such as extra credits and extended periods of use. As a member, you also get 30 days to return a book if you don’t like it. Additionally, the app provides unlimited storage for your own audio that you can upload.
Libby
Libby lets you borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local library. A library membership lets you access several thousand audiobooks on its app entirely free of cost. While the availability of titles depends on the library you're a member of, you’d still be getting free access to a lot of books that you’d otherwise have to pay for. The catch is that since you're technically borrowing the books, you only have two weeks to get through them before they're returned.

In early 2023, I embarked on a voyage to the Galápagos Islands. It was on Floreana Island’s windswept shore that I encountered a weathered whisky barrel — the legendary Post Office Bay mailbox. It was first used by sailors in 1793 to send mail back home: they would leave a letter and take any addressed to their next port of call to deliver
them by hand. It’s still used by tourists. People will leave a letter and take one that they are able to hand-deliver to their next destination.
The barrel was full with postcards waiting for delivery. I took a couple home and delivered them with delight: one to a teacher from her pupil, and another from a girl to her boyfriend. The recipients were incredibly grateful.
Weeks later, I couldn’t stop thinking about the letters. Then I thought what if I spent a year delivering more letters from that postbox I realised I could keep my remote job, and at the same time travel the world delivering post, using air miles-and working along the way.
By March 2024, I returned to Galápagos I picked out 55 letters and postcards that covered a large geographic area. I aimed to deliver one a week, covering at least 52 countries and spanning all seven continents.
I’m 52 and very outgoing, but I’m aware that nowadays people are cautious of speaking to one another. Delivery letter number 50, in Bergen, Norway, I almost got arrested. The lady who answered the door didn’t believe my story and mistook my selfie stick for a weapon, so she called the police. I had to show the officers my GPS location history to prove what I was doing, and we all ended up laughing together.
My favourite delivery was letter eight, in Mexico City, from a daughter to her mother, thanking her for letting her follow her dreams. The mother had been very ill, and her daughter wanted to come home from her travels to look after her, but she insisted her daughter should continue with her trip. I’m still in touch with both of them.
When I finished my challenge in March this year, I held a party in London and invited everyone I’d met along the way. People came from all over the world. I was so touched and humbled. I’ve made friends for life.
How was mail delivered at Post Office Bay in the 18th century
By regular local messengers. B．By sailors stationed on the islands. C．By private postal service on the islands. D．By hand-delivery to the next destination.
The author decided to return to Galapagos because she .
was assigned to handle some remote work
was concerned about the delivery of the letters
intended to use her air miles before the deadline
wanted to check the letters in the deserted barrel
Which words can best describe the author according to the passage
Positive and curious. B．Passionate but serious.
C．Determined and caring. D．Brave but introverted.
What can we learn from this passage
Small acts of kindness bring huge emotional rewards.
Letters hold magical power in the modern world.
Each individual is the architect of their own success.
New bonds grow out of the traditional practices.

It’s believed that trees appeared hundreds of millions of years ago. Specifically, five tree fossils from 350 million years ago were found in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. “These new and unusual fossil trees bear a surprising shape, and they show signs of a period of life on Earth about which we know little,” said Robert Gastaldo, a researcher who led the study.
Co-authors Olivia King and Matthew Stimson unearthed the first of these ancient trees in 2017 while doing fieldwork in New Brunswick. One of the specimens (样本) they discovered is among a handful of cases in the
entire plant fossil record — covering more than 400 million years — in which a tree’s branches and leaves are still connected to its trunk.
Few tree fossils that date back to Earth’s earliest forests have ever been found, according to Gastaldo. Their discovery helps fill in some missing pieces of the fragmentary fossil record. Most ancient tree specimens are relatively small and often discovered in the form of a fossilized trunk with a root system. Finding a well-preserved tree that could have been 15 feet tall left the researchers shocked. About the size of a small car, that fossil was covered by a sandstone rock.
“The unique fossilization of the trees is likely due to an earthquake-caused landslide that took place in an ancient lake,” Stimson said “These trees were alive when the earthquake happened. They were covered very quickly after that, at the bottom of the lake, and then the lake went back to normal.”
Fossils like these are not just useful for helping humans understand how life changed in the past, they can also help scientists figure out where life on our planet might be headed next. According to Gastaldo, this particular discovery suggests that trees of the period were starting to live in new environments that we didn’t know about before. He sees this as a sign that plants were experimenting with how they adapted to their living conditions and influenced their surroundings. The earthquake that probably led to the trees’ fossilization also offers new geological evidence of what may have been happening in Earth’s systems at the same moment in time.
What can the newly discovered fossils primarily provide
A．Hidden details of the Earth’s early life. B．Some data on changes in forest areas. C．Evidence for common environmental risks. D．Information on prehistoric human activities.
What does the underlined word “fragmentary” in paragraph 3 probably mean
Incomplete. B．Independent. C．Unnecessary. D．Impractical.
What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us about the tree fossils
Their amazing appearance. B．Their formation process. C．Their strong survival ability. D．Their impact on lake ecosystems.
What does Gastaldo’s explanation of the tree fossils imply
Trees’ fossils influence Earth’s ecosystems.
Plant fossils can be easily collected in the lake. C．Earthquake is the main cause of trees’ fossilization. D．Living things and environments are interconnected.

Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that's capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse ( 凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually.
Though DeformIO, which is 3 mm thick with a 140 mm surface layer, isn't the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a
feeling of continuous tactile ( 触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said.
If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen.
It's uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years’ time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we' re exploring the applications it might be best suited to. ” Nash said.
What can be learned about DeformIO
It's a protective layer for screens. B．It's a screen with tactile flexibility. C．It performs different tasks together. D．It senses changes in users' identity.
What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs
Its adaptable appearance. B．Its better-quality sensors. C．Its small size and light weight. D．Its more realistic sense of touch.
What does the underlined phrase “interface with” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Mix up. B．Assist with. C．Connect with. D．Improve on.
What challenge might DeformIO face
Low customer interest. B．Technical design limitations. C．Insufficient development funds. D．Strong competition within the industry.

Many of us face a tricky trap on social media: either chase endless likes with constant posting or escape by ignoring it all. We stress over this forced choice — approval or isolation — as if they can’t mix. 36．Here are three practical ways to find balance in the digital world.
Focus on genuine connections.
Likes and comments bring short-term excitement, but they fade fast. True connections matter more. When you share real stories or chat deeply with others, you feel warm inside. 37． So pick activities that make you feel truly good, like talking about hobbies or helping friends online — no need to care about likes!
38．
Peace on social media starts with how you see it. Mindful scrolling (浏览) means noticing nice things — an inspiring post, a friend’s happy news — without comparing yourself. The colors of a photo or a kind word can make you smile. You don’t need big tricks. 39． Then you’ll enjoy both: staying connected and feeling peaceful.
Celebrate small digital joys.
Every little win online — sharing a useful tip, getting a sweet reply — deserves cheers. If you only wait for lots of followers, you’ll miss daily fun. 40． For example, celebrate finishing a post you care about, not just hitting a follower goal. Treat yourself to a snack after a nice chat. These turn online time into a happy journey.
Try browsing with intention.
Chasing likes will make you tired.
Just fix your attention on the little joys online.
D．Minor accomplishments in the digital world lift your mood.
E．In fact, mixing work and rest online helps you stay balanced.
F．But our time online doesn’t have to be stuck in this dilemma.
G．That cozy glow from within doesn’t depend on likes or comments.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was in the afternoon before the end of the Second World War that Antonio Black, who was twelve, caught sight of a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window. The brooch is so beautiful that he was unwilling to leave the store until he had purchased it. But it was too expensive — $5. His family was very poor and his parents struggled to make ends meet. Five dollars would buy almost a week’s food for his family.
Antonio couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Susan. Slim and beautiful, his mother was the center of the home and the glue that held it together. The housework was never-ending, and she struggled to feed and clothe their five children, but she was happy as her family and their well-being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proudly and straight in his flour-sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time ”
“I’ll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Antonio respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would be surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering ( 锤打) from a side street, Antonio suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Antonio knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece. That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin.

Every day after school,Antonio started his plan.Cold and hungry,Antonio wandered around,searching for nail bags carefully fromone street to another.To save more money,the determined boy even decided to deliver papers in the early morning.Every coin hewon went to the soda tin,his treasured "bank",and then all the tiredness disappeared magically.Each time he passed by,thebrooch in the shop window would remind him what he did was worthwhile.Day by day,his soda tin became heavier and heavier.Six weeks passed before he even knew it.Then approached Christmas Eve.
