Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon be totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become attracted in some books or others, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointments.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A bookshop is very much like a music shop. You can wander round such a place to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting “Can I help you?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the back ground until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
Once a medical student had to read a text book which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was tucked away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it!” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.
【1】According to the passage ,the main attraction of a bookshop is ______ .

【题目】Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.
Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

【题目】The son of a piano producer, Elwyn Brooks White was born in Mount Vernon in a wealthy family.And he was raised with the mix of sophistication(富有经验)and common sense that would mark his writing.
After graduation, White spent a year as a newspaper reporter in New York City, then decided to drive across the country with a friend.The trip gave White a lifetime of anecdotes.“When they ran out of money," White's friend, James Thurber, noted, "they played for their supper and their gasoline on an interesting musical instrument that White had made out of some pieces of wire and an old shoe."
When White returned to New York City in the mid-1920s, he spent a few years bouncing between advertising jobs and unemployment before trying his hand again at writing.Not very seriously, he sent some essays to a new magazine called The New Yorker.Since its founding in 1925, the magazine had struggled to find its niche, and White's work helped put The New Yorker on the map.His essays were funny and sophisticated; they spoke equally to socialites(社会名流)and cab drivers, professors and repairmen.Through his essays, which he wrote for nearly 50 years, White helped give The New Yorker its voice and identity.
In 1945, already a leading literary figure, White switched to his second occupation writing children's books.He moved from New York to a farm in Maine, where he raised chickens and geese. Seeking a way to amuse his nieces and nephews, White started to write stories for them.“Children were always after me to tell them a story and I found I couldn't do it," he said.“ So I had to get it down on paper.”
By the time he died from Alzheimer's disease in 1985, White's essays had appeared in more literary collections in colleges than those of any other writer.Many said his essays matched his personality: sophisticated without being simple, critical without being mean.
【1】What do we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. White took the trip to realize his lifelong dream.
B. The trip had a lasting effect on White's personality.
C. The travelling companion found White's music talent.
D. White had many experiences to talk about after the trip.
【2】The underlined part "its niche" means something that .
A. suits its sponsors' tastes
B. protects its social identity
C. helps to build its own style
D. voices its authors' concern
【3】What do we know about White's works?
A. They originally came from the stories told by his nieces.
B. They were intended for people of different social status.
C. They helped The New Yorker find its position on the map.
D. They were chosen by college textbooks when they came out.

【题目】Dos and Don’ts for USA Travel
Despite what difficult procedures (程序) you may have endured to get to the U.S., including visa troubles, airport security screenings, and the like, the United States is a rather relaxing place once you arrive. 【1】 Following are basic tips about traveling in the USA.
Don’t try to see and do too much.
【2】 Many foreign visitors to the United States try to see New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Los Angeles all in one trip. That kind of touring can leave a traveler very tired if you have limited vacation days. The best way is to focus on a region and more deeply.
【3】
While traveling in the United States, do be sure to smile, ask questions, say “please” and “thank you”, and be patient. In almost all cases, your kindness will be rewarded by locals who want to show you the best of their cities and towns.
Do obey traffic signs and laws.
Traveling outside of the United States, I have noticed that stop lights and “No Parking” signs in some parts of the world are only suggestions for drivers. Not in America. Drivers must come to a full stop at a red light and remain stopped until the light turns green. 【4】
Do be on time.
America take punctuality very seriously. 【5】 Give yourself more time than you think you’ll need to get to some place, especially if you’re not familiar with the area as unexpected delays can happen, such as heavy traffic.
A. It is considered rude to be late.
B. Besides, drivers should obey the speed limit.
C. Do be kind, smile, and enjoy yourself.
D. Don’t assume you can smoke anywhere.
E. The United States is larger than Europe.
F. Try to use the vocabulary they use in their everyday life.
G. But we do have a few rules that foreign visitors may not know about.
