The answer is yes. For one thing, DRM has put far too much power in the hands of digital booksellers. In 2009, Amazon simply deleted some e-books from buyers, Kindles secretly. An uproar (鼓噪) followed. Amazon then promised never to steal a book back from a Kindle without the device owner?s permission. But in early 2012, the company shut down the access of Linn Jordet Nygaard, a Norwegian Kindle owner, to her library of 43 e-books. Another uproar followed, and Amazon backed down again, restoring Nygaard?s account. Another problem of e-book DRM is that most e-books are tied to the seller?s reading device. Buy a book from Amazon, and you can read it only on a Kindle or Amazon app. This lock-in gives the booksellers power over not only consumers but publishers. Moreover, nowhere does Amazon, Apple or any other distributor promise to support its digital formats forever. There are ways to protect your e-books by changing the format. But is it legal? No one is quite sure.
The guiding principle must he that an e-book owner?s rights and responsibilities parallel those of a printed book owner, and the same must apply to authors, publishers and booksellers. Clarify these rules, and the book market will reap the benefit. Leave the rules as vague (模糊的；含糊的) as they are, and the victims will be authors, consumers and publishers.

A. book buying is easier in the digital age B. buyers do not really own their e-books C. it is a good choice just to borrow e-books D. e-books are convenient compared with physical ones 33. Which of the following is TRUE about the DMCA? A. It turned out to benefit digital booksellers. B. It seems a little unfair to digital booksellers. C. It has become a threat to the livelihood of authors. D. It actually played a trick on copyright holders and content users. 34. The underlined part “backed down” in Para. 4 probably means . A. felt guilty B. gave in C. broke a promise D. made an apology 35. What is the author?s suggestion? A. Booksellers should be punished by law for their marketing strategy. B. Booksellers should make a formal public apology to the victims. C. E-book readers should buy e-books directly from publishers. D. E-books should be treated the same as physical books. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）
