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.

Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1. 000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favorite. But it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.
Hot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experience. It's a "theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot pot.
Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often, considered an evening's entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family. However, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions (份额), although the experience is still a social one.
A similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.
For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre(古怪的). But having given hot pot a time, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experience. When the chilly (刺骨的) wind is blowing outside, just grab some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig in. For me it's like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds(味蕾)and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.
1.According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because ________.
A. it is a fun social experience
B. it has been developing for over 1,000 years
C. it involves many unique ingredients
D. it keeps people warm in winter and it is creative
2.We can conclude from the article that generally British people _______.
A. prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot
B. find it interesting to cook their own food in restaurants
C. don't like sharing food with others
D. don't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner
3.What is the tone of the article?
A. Appreciative B. Longing
C. Humorous. D. Serious.
