Audio digital books(有声图书) are becoming more and more popular these days. One of the reasons for this is that audio digital books can be "read" in many places comfortably.

    The first favorite place of many people is in bed, before going to sleep. 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 a usual 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. It can help take a person's mind off the job at hand. It can be fun and exciting to do gardening with the help of the book.

    An audio digital book is a favorite while a person is 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.

    When you are waiting for a bus at a station, a 31-metre-long bus is coming to you. You must be surprised. In fact, the 31-metre-long bus is the longest bus in the world. And the bus comes from Germany. An ordinary bus is only about 10 metres long and it can carry only 80 people once. But the longest bus can carry 256 people. So we will need fewer buses in the future. The longest bus can save energy, too. That's to say, it will take less energy than an ordinary bus. Moreover, the driver can drive the longest bus as easily as an ordinary one.

    However, firstly, it has to spend $ 10, 000, 000 buying the longest bus. Someone jokes that we can buy a lot of ordinary buses with that money. Secondly, people think that it is hard for the longest bus to travel on the bustling streets. It may cause new traffic problems. Thirdly, it is easy for someone to get onto the bus without buying a ticket.

When Leon Martin asked for his parents' advice on how to become a UX designer(设计师), they both went silent. "In fact, I had no idea what he was talking about, " said Anne, his mother. "I don't know whether he was talking about designing clothes, computer programmes of a fancy brand of bike. "

Even when her 18-year-old son explained that it was something about"behind the scenes" online design, his mother was still a bit lost. "I felt like I had totally failed as a parent, " she said. "My job as a parent is to open doors so my children can achieve their potential(潜力), but now can I do that when I don't even understand what their dreams are?"

Anne is not alone. Recent research has found that more than 2/3 of parents in England are now facing the problem. When their children express interest in new education and job choices, they may know nothing about them. More than 75% of parents feel it is almost impossible to offer their children good advice in such a fast-changing job market. 

Michelle Reed did a survey of over 2, 000 parents of secondary school students in England. She found that many parents were afraid their children hardly follow them. "We all know that parents' opinions and suggestions play an important role in shaping and influencing their children's career dreams, " she said. "But we usually depend much on our own experiences. And things have changed so much since most of us were at school. "

Bryony Mathew, the writer of Qubits and Quiver Trees: Awesome Careers of the Future, said the world was changing so rapidly that parents should not try to decide on certain careers for their children.
