Those who are used to looking through thousands of books in big bookstores may find Japan’s Morioka Shoten a little strange. That’s because this tiny bookstore that is located in Ginza, Tokyo sells only a single book at a time.
Opened in May 2015, Morioka Shoten is the brainchild of Yoshiyuki Morioka. The experienced bookseller began his career as a bookstore clerk in Tokyo’s Kanda district before branching out to open his own store. It was here while organizing book readings that he realized that customers usually came into the store with one title in mind. Morioka began to wonder if a store could exist by selling many copies of just one single book. In November 2014, he partnered with his two friends, to establish a unique bookstore with the idea of “A Single Room, A Single Book.”
Like its offering, the bookstore is simple. The selections that are picked by Morioka change weekly and vary widely to attract customers with different interests. Recent choices include The True Deceiver, an award-winning Swedish novel by Tove Jansson, Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales, and a collection of artist Karl Blossfeldt’s photography of plants. Morioka has also chosen books written by famous Japanese authors Mimei Ogawa and Akito Akagi.
To highlight his only offering, Morioka often uses clever methods. For example，when selling a book about flowers, he decorated his shop with the ones that had been mentioned in the book. He also encourages authors to hold talks and discussions so they can connect with customers. Morioka says his goal is for the customers to experience being inside a book, not just a bookstore!
Risky as the idea might seem, things appear to be going well. Morioka says he has sold over 2,100 books since he opened it. Things can get better considering that his bookstore is becoming increasingly popular not just among the locals but also visitors from other countries.
1.What inspired Morioka to open such a bookstore?
A. A Swedish novel B. His present partner
C. A bookstore clerk D. His working experience
2.Why is Morioka Shoten unique?
A. It is popular with foreigners .
B. It sells books of different topics.
C. It is decorated with colorful flowers.
D. It sells various copies of a book in a week.
3.Why does Morioka encourage authors to hold talks?
A. To introduce his bookstore.
B. To advocate his philosophy.
C. To make books better understood.
D. To help readers connect with each other.
4.What’s the author’s opinion about the bookstore’s future?
A. Risky B. Optimistic
C. Unpredictable D. Hopeless

One year ago, I was in great trouble. I worked hard at English and devote all my spare time to learn it. But I failed to pass the mid-term examination, which made me great disappointed. So I asked my grandpa for help when I got to home. Hearing that I told him, he said, “Examination results are sometime unexpected by your study level. You can’t judge your progress by one examination.” He encouraged myself to work hard for a long time to check my results. I took my grandpa’s advices. Now I realize that the process of learning is much more important and my English is more better than before. From my experience, I feel that we should listen opinions from old people.

Not many parents realize that by encouraging their children to drink plenty of fresh water,they're helping them build healthier,stronger bodies.
Water is the ideal drink to prevent thirst and ensure hydration（水合作用）.Our bodies need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to all our organs.Water also transports oxygen to our cells,removes waste,and protects joints and organs.Poor hydration can affect a child's concentration levels, memory and learning ability.
"While most parents know that everyone should be drinking 6~8 glasses of water each day,they often find it difficult to get their children to drink water,"says Megan Pentz-Kluyts,a leading registered nutrition coach. However, there are healthy ways of making water tastier.
Keep a big bottle of water in the fridge that has been flavored with fresh fruits and herbs,such as chopped lemons,strawberries,apples,or oranges,as these flavor the water and up the intake of nutrients.
Mix fruit juices with water to increase water consumption.However,it's better to eat fruit whole as it provides nutrients such as fiber,vitamins,and minerals,which may not always be found in the same quantity once the fruit has been made into a juice.
Freeze bottles of water overnight so that the water is still cool later in the day when the sun is beating down.Use fun containers with your children's favorite characters on them to match the fruit or herb that's been used to flavor it for easy reference when grabbing from the freezer for school.
By encouraging your children to drink water from an early age,you'll help them form a habit that will be easy to follow through for the rest of their lives.You can set the best example by always reaching for water when you're thirsty or by making sure that there's always cool water readily available,whether in the fridge at home or packed into the car for after-school runs or family outings.

Los Angeles：Love for Mom is a given，but buying flowers on her big day may not be. A slump in flower sales since late last year was likely to continue through Mother's Day，another example of Americans cutting back on spending due to recession fears，which is a period of reduced trade and business activity，and increasing food and gasoline prices.
“If you look at what has happened on Valentine’s Day and Christmas, the market for flowers has cooled,” said Eric Bender， an analyst at Bream Murray. “Growth has slowed in the past two quarters. Mother's Day will probably be a slow quarter，too.’’ US floral sales for Mother’s Day, celebrated yesterday, will fall thirteen percent this year to $2 billion，with consumers spending an average of $17.65.according to the National Retail Federation estimates.
Mother’s Day，which accounts for a one—quarter of annual holiday purchases，according to the Society of American Florists，is traditionally the day when floral bouquets are delivered to the doorsteps of many mothers.But this year，the shop-owners are concerned.
Gabriel Soto，who owns a flower shop beneath an office high-rise in the Los Angeles financial district, is expecting lower sales--and has ordered 30 percent fewer flowers than normal this Mother’s Day.
Last month, Solo, who also operates website downtown-flowers, net, closed another store in a nearby building that was headquarters to a mortgage company. After workers lost their jobs due to the housing crisis, orders decreased.

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends. And they are good to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure, it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an email. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination, I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face, Learn to be happy, And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
1.The best title of this passage probably is______ .
