Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely you are there to buy as a present．You may even have entered the shop just to find a shelter from a sudden shower．Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings．The desire to pick up a book with an attractive “dust-jacket” is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book．You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course．This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop．There are not many places where it is possible to do this．A music shop is very much like a bookshop．You can wander around such places to your heart’s content．If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with inevitable greetings: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want．In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing．Then, and only then, are his services necessary．Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book．You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop．It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something that had only vaguely interested you up until then．This sort of thing can be very dangerous．Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section．

Paul was dealing with a crisis. The new girl Linda in class really liked him a lot. Paul was not happy about it.
Paul's good friend, Sam, tried to comfort him.  "What's the big deal? I think Linda is kind of cute and nice enough."
Paul glared at Sam. "Then why don't you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. Go there and ask her to be your honey!"
"She's crazy about you, not me," Sam replied.
"Well, I don't want any girlfriend, especially not a girl like her! "Paul growled.
Sam wouldn't give up.  "The only thing pesky about her is that she keeps writing you those notes ."
"I don't like notes at all!" Paul interrupted. He took another sip of milk.
"Did you notice those strange brown eyes? Why aren't they normal red or pink?"
Sam took another look at Linda. "I think her face is a lovely shade of green. And her dark green curly hair is quite pretty. Besides, she's very gentle and that's what really matters."
Paul stuck out his tongue. "I think I'm going to be sick!  I'd better save my dessert for later." He crammed a small bag of Maggot Munchies into his even smaller shirt pocket.  "The fact is, I have a problem. That girl is getting on my nerves!  "
Sam followed Paul’s example and decided to save his dessert for later. However, he carefully placed the bag into his lunch box.  "Do you have any ideas about how to solve your problem?" Tremor asked.
"I'm going to be mean and rude to her," Paul announced.  "I'll call her names and make ugly faces at her."
"That's how you treat everyone," Sam reminded his friend.
Paul nodded. "It's time that Linda got to know the real Paul !"

Trogmire Troll was dealing with a crisis. The new girl in class really liked him a lot. Trogmire was not happy about it.

Trogmire’s good friend, Tremor Troll, tried to comfort him.“What’s the big deal? I think Treasure Troll is kind of cute. And she seems to be nice enough.”

Trogmire swallowed his last bite of salad and glared at Tremor.“Then why don’t you ask her to be your girlfriend? There she is, sitting all by herself at the other end of the cafeteria. March over there and ask her to be your sweetie-poo!”

 “She’s crazy about you, not me,”Tremor replied.

 “Well, I don’t want any girlfriend, especially not a weird（古怪的）,annoying one like her!”Trogmire growled（to make a sound to show anger）.

Tremor wouldn’t give up.“The only thing annoying about her is that she keeps writing you those notes and she stares.”
