【正确答案】 The Sales of Domestic Publications in 2016
It is clearly presented in the pie chart that the sales of domestic publications in 2016 vary a lot in China. In the light of the data given, the sales of e-books took the largest share, accounting for more than a half, namely 51%, while those of printed books ranked the second, at 29%, with distinctively smaller counterparts, two types of newspapers, falling far behind.
The reasons resulting in this trend can be summarized into two points. First, the development of Internet technology and popularization of personal digital devices have a great impact on the access to electronic reading, which was once denied because of its unaffordable cost. Second, the rising awareness of conservation helps to reduce the production of printed books, in order to spare more trees as well as energies from shaping into paper.
In view of the analyses above, it would be safe to conclude that the sales of electronic reading materials would still grow in the next period . However, the printed ones would barely disappear at once, given their special applications.
