A busy public square in the Chinese city of Nanjing is home to an unusual experiment.
For almost two months, the country’s first “honesty bookshop” has occupied（占据） a sidewalk on HanZhong Road in the city’s Gulou District.
With no cashier or other staff, the store relies on trust for payment.
Making money isn’t the company’s main goal and they don’t punish those who take books without paying.
“If they can really finish the books, it doesn’t matter if they took the books for free,” Zhu Yu, the marketing director of the company says.
“In fact, we are really happy to witness so many people taking books from the honesty bookshop.”
After browsing the four wooden bookshelves, customers must drop their money in a locked box.
Prices are set at 30% of the usual cover price.
Zhu hopes that his sidewalk store, which sells, on average, 60 books a day, will make more people interested in reading.
Like elsewhere, e-books are affecting sales of traditional books, and traditional books and many independent booksellers are struggling.
Zhu got permission from the city government to use the sidewalk and says he’s determined to make it a long-term project.
He says the store is open every day, except when it rains, and it’s locked up each night.
In September last year, the company laid out 1,000 books and reading lamps on the ground and encouraged people “to go on a date” with a book.
“Independent bookshops represent the well-being of the city.” Zhu told CNN in 2013, “when a city is losing its bookshops, it’s actually losing something in its soul.”
If the success of the Honesty Bookstore is any guide, Nanjing’s soul is in pretty good shape.
1.How is the bookstore different from other bookstores?
A. There is no cashier in it.
B. There are no paper books in it.
C. None of the customers need to pay for the books.
D. Only honest customers can visit the shop.
2.What does Zhu Yu say about customers who take away books without paying?
A. They will be forbidden from visiting the bookstore again.
B. They will have to pay a lot of money next time they visit the shop.
C. They are not doing wrong if they finish reading the books.
D. They will not be allowed to take books away next time.
3.What is one of the purposes of opening the bookstore?
A. To encourage people to read.
B. To make customers honest.
C. To check whether customers are honest.
D. To help people learn about Nanjing.
4.What can we learn from the text?
A. The shop is only open on weekends.
B. The books in the shop are more expensive than shoes in other shops.
C. 30% of the normal cover price is charged for each book.
D. The shop is not locked at night.

The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up.
The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.
On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.
Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.
1.How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?
A. Embarrassed. B. Wise.
C. Relieved. D. Regretful.
2.The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. the author’s friend B. the author
C. the author’s roommate D. a stranger
3.Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?
A. She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.
B. She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.
C. She came to realize what she really possessed.
D. She never thought over the other side of a person.
4.We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as ________.
A. natural B. funny C. silly D. simple

A tourist bus wound its way into a mountain area. On the way, two passengers—a couple of young lovers—were very attracted by the beautiful scenery that they called on a stop to get off the bus. They were left behind and the bus went on. Suddenly, they heard a loud boom ahead of the road. There was a huge rock rolled down a hill that hit the bus and fell with it into a deep valley.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people hurt many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
1.People who are unhappy ________.
A. always consider things differently from others
B. always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
C. usually misunderstand what others think or say
D. usually are affected by the results of certain things
2.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “________”.
A. makes others unhappy
B. has a good taste with social life
C. tend to scold others openly
D. enjoy the pleasure of life
3.We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
