阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　With a good shopping position and the right amount(数量)of money，any educated person ought to make a living out of a bookshop．It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop．But the hours of work are very long-I was only doing a part-time job，but my boss put in a seventy-hour week，besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books．

　　The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life，however，is that while I was in it I lost my love of books．A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books，and that gives him a dislike for them．There was a time when l really did love books-loved the sight and smell and feel of them-if they were fifty or more years old，that is．Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds．There is a peculiar flavour(独特的味道)about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection：little-known eighteenth-century poets，or out-of-date geography books．For occasional(偶尔的)reading-in your bath，for example，or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed-there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book．

　　But as soon as l went to work in the bookshop l stopped buying books．

　　Seen in a mass，five or ten thousand at a time，books were dull and even a little tiresome．Nowadays I do buy one occasionally，but only if it is a book that I want to read and can't borrow．and I never buy rubbish．
