Audio digital books(有声数字化图书) are becoming more and more popular these years. One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be “read” in many places comfortably.
The first favorite place for many people is in bed, before going to sleep. There are nights when a person would want to do nothing but lie in bed while going over what has happened in the day. Many people like to just lie in bed in the dark before they fall asleep at night. This would be the perfect time to listen to an audio digital book. If you read an ordinary book, the lights have to be turned on and you have to turn the pages with your hand. An audio book can just be listened to while a person stays comfortably in bed.
The next favorite place to listen to audio digital books would be in the kitchen. For some people kitchen chores are boring. Audio digital books provide good entertainment, and people don’t need to turn pages.
An audio digital book is a favorite while a person is gardening. They can help take a person’s mind off jobs at hand. It can be fun and exciting to do gardening with the help of these books.
Another great place would be while exercising. It allows the mind to be free while the legs, body and arms are kept busy. This would be a great place to listen to these books.
The next favourite place would be while commuting(乘车上下班)，either on the road to and from work, on buses, trains or even on long flights. They prove to be a good companion(陪伴) and help reduce stress.
59. Why are audio digital books becoming more and more popular these years?
A. Because they are good. B. Because they are useful
C. Because they are convenient. D. Because they are newest.
