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.

Many Chinese people are confused with the two nations: one is known for its cheese and watches; the other for IKEA and Volvo.

The problem largely stems from the fact that both nation’s names are written similarly in Mandarin---Ruidian(Sweden) and Ruishi (Switzerland)------which begin with the same symbol, according to the Swedish Consul General Victoria Liu in China.

In an effort to put an end to the mix-up, the Swedish and Swiss governments have launched a competition on a website, asking Chinese people to come up with funny ways to help differentiate the two countries.　 Submissions can be accepted as a blog post, cartoon, photo, short film or in any other format.

The winner with the best submission will receive a 12-day trip to Sweden and Switzerland and will be expected to report back on his/her impressions of both countries following the trip, the website states.　 Entries will be accepted until November 20.

The organizers have also devised a humorous campaign logo with objects and people associated with Sweden and Switzerland on separate maps of each country.　 Sweden’s map features meatballs, a Viking, as well as two male cartoon figures with a heart between them symbolizing gay marriage, which remains illegal in Switzerland.　 Switzerland’s map features cheese, the Alps and a picture of Roger Federer.

China may not be the only country struggling to tell Sweden and Switzerland apart.　 Residents of Spanish-speaking countries also fall victim to the confusion as Sweden is spelt “Suecia” in Spanish while Switzerland is called “Suiza”.

Sweden and Switzerland aren’t the only places that have caused confusion among people.　 Last month, , a British holidaymaker hoped to explore the architecture of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, but instead mistakenly caught a flight across the Atlantic to the tropical Caribbean island of Grenada following a confusing booking blunder.　 Earlier this summer, two US holidaymakers were flown to the wrong continent after an airline confused two airport codes.

1.What can we learn about the competition launched by the two governments?

A. The winner of the competition will receive a 24-day trip altogether to both of the countries.

B. The winner will report his/her impressions on the two countries in his/her submission.

C. The competition is held among all people around the world.

D. The competition is held in order to stop people’s confusion about the two countries.

2.Why does the author mention the British holidaymaker?

A. To show us many people are confused by Sweden and Switzerland.

B. To prove airports make mistakes about people’s places too.

C. To explain Spanish-speaking people make mistakes too.

D. To prove many people are confused about some places.

3.In which part of a newspaper could you probably find the passage?

A. Tourism　　 B. News review　　 C. Business　　 D. Culture

4.What does the underlined word “devised” mean?

A. Compared.　　 B. Collected.　　　 C. Invented.　　 D.Installed

Many independent Chinese women like to earn their own bread, even if their husbands are already bringing home the bacon. But a recent survey suggests that such women find more joy from relationships, rather than successful careers.

About 73 percent of the 7,000 women surveyed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said they would choose to work even if their husbands earned enough for the family. The survey also found that 77 percent define happiness as "enjoying a relationship".

But striking a balance between career and family can bring challenges to the woman's career advancement.

"In my company, women usually have an equal or even a higher starting salary than men," said Li Hua, general manager of Beijing Chuangjiashe Book Circulation Company. "However, as they begin to climb up the career ladder, women often meet problems along the way, while men can climb the ladder more easily."

Both physical and emotional differences can prevent some women from taking tough positions, Li said. But family life is often the main difficulty for Chinese career women.

Despite these challenges, however, some experts believe it's reasonable for some women to want to be breadwinners.

"In this way, the roles of a family are decided by the parents' abilities rather than their gender（性别）," said Gu Donghui, a sociology professor at Fudan University.

Gu says women should have the freedom to decide if they want to stay at home or work to support the family. "Everyone has a different interpretation（解释）of what it means to find self-worth".

Wang Haibin, an economic expert from Renmin University shares that view: "Traditionally, we tend to regard the family as the cell unit of society. Some members have always been expected to make sacrifices for it. But, it really doesn't matter who earns more. Economic independence and personal choice is essential for both sexes in the family."

1.What brings career women more joy and happiness according to the passage?

A. Relationships　　　 B. Money

C. Challenges　　　 　 D. Successful careers

2.What's the main problem that career women meet while working?

A. Physical difference　　　　　　　　 　 B. Tough positions

C. Family life　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. The career ladder

3.Some women want to be breadwinners probably because ______.

A. their families are poor

B. they have a lot of children

C. their husbands do not work

D. they want to show their self-worth

4.Who should make sacrifice for the family according to the passage?

A. The wife　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Either of them

C. The husband　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Neither of them
