list of digital textbooks. " That was Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in
June,talking about his effort to get schools to use materials available free
online. He listed reasons why he thinks digital textbooks make sense.

Passage two
A new kind of radar has been developed for space-age travelers. A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makers use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of radar that uses microwaves.
The model has shown that this radar system can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection velocities of five miles per second down to virtual stops-speeds of less than one ten-thousandth of an inch per second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip(划破) open a ship's skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit.
The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions(万亿) of cycles per second, could easily dete A. is the first radar system to work in space B. is more precise than microwave radar C. is easier to operate than microwave radar D. will work on the earth's surface as well as in space
