To the book lovers, nothing beats walking through a bookshop and looking at all the covers, picking large heavy books up and turning them over, the smell of ink on paper, conversations with strangers about authors. With the coming of the online book buying and e-books, many have predicted(预测) that the bookstores will disappear. And we’re grateful that there are plenty of beautiful bookstores still out there.
El Ateneo Grand Splendid
Designed for Max Glucksmann, a pioneer of the music and film industries, this wonderful theater space was opened in 1919. The former theater now serves as a flagship store; more than 1 million people visit El Ateneo Grand Splendid every year.
The Book Barge
The Book Barge is a 60-foot canal boat bookshop. Inspired by the Slow Food movement, the operator Sarah Henshaw says, “We hope to help develop a less hurried lifestyle of leisurely (慢悠悠的) pleasures, cups of tea, conversations, culture and something like these.”
Selexyz Dominicanen
For those who regard bookstores with great respect, welcome to Selexyz Dominicanen, which now offers many kinds of books. The big space was used to store bicycles not long ago. But then the building was given interior (内部的) decoration, and the result is really a great surprise.
La Caverne aux Livres
Few things make as romantic a pairing as books and trains. At La Caverne aux Livres in Auvers-sur-Oise, northwestern of Paris, an old postal train station and several train cars have become home to used books for sale. Visitors often spend hours looking at them, surrounded by an atmosphere (氛围) of old letters and dreams of faraway places.

A used book or nearly-new kitchen gadget (配件) may not be at the top of every Christmas wish list, but hard economic times coupled with a new green awareness are changing attitudes about gift-giving in France.
French holiday shoppers are choosing larger numbers for “green” gifting this Christmas, studies show. About 30 percent of French consumers will give second-hand items as gifts to stretch out their tight budgets but also to do their little bit for recycling, according to a study by international consulting firm Deloitte.
The survey of Christmas consumer behaviors in 18 European countries found the French were more than twice as likely as other Europeans to give second-hand items. Websites promoting re-gifting and green gifting are popular in France, with many reporting a rise in business.
“Concerns about the ecology and the economy have come together and we are now seeing people who accept the types of gifts that were not appreciated just a short time ago,” said Sebastien Ravut, who runs a website promoting eco-friendly consumerism. His site lists shops in France that offer fair trade products, bio-friendly goods and recycled items. Over the Christmas holidays, the number of visits to the site has doubled from last year, reaching 60,000 a month.
A study by online survey firm Vivodi for PriceMinister showed eight out of 10 people would be happy to receive a used item as a gift and that younger consumers were more open to the idea.
But Gilles Goldenberg, author of the Deloitte study, said that environmental concerns are not why customers buy used goods. “The number one concern is getting the lowest possible price,” said Goldenberg. “Eco-friendly products are drawing a lot of interest, but not if that means paying more.”
Theatre tickets and other low-carbon gifts are fashionable, and eco-friendly websites are also encouraging gift givers to offer time and services instead of stuff. “The order of the day is to spend less time shopping and more time connecting” over the holidays, said Florence de Monclin from the Nicolas Helot foundation for Nature and Humanity.
1.We can judge from the Deloitte study that _________.
A. over a quarter of the French give second-hand Christmas gifts
B. the French are less willing to buy eco-friendly gifts than other Europeans
C. 80% of French people are happy to receive second-hand gifts
D. less than 10% of European consumers are likely to give second-hand gifts
2.According to Goldenberg, the main reason for customers to buy used goods is that _______.
A. they want to be eco-friendly B. they want to save money
C. it is encouraged by websites D. it is a new fashion in Europe
3. All the following might be a promoted gift EXCEPT ________.
A. a theatre ticket
B. a second-hand book
C. a nearly-new digital toaster
D. a box of heavily packaged chocolate
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Old people are not open minded enough to accept second-hand gifts.
B. People wish to receive second-hand gifts because of the economic downturn.
C. Ravut’s website received a sharp decrease in visits during the Christmas holidays.
D. In de Monclin’s opinion, people should spend more time with friends and family during holidays

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.
1.Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these healthy colors. Ice cream packers are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver.
2.Recently, some kind of pain killer was brought out, but researchers found it didn’t sell well, because the color made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package-because we think of blue as safe, and white as calm.
3.But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know the truth: 4.The founder of Pears soup, who for 25 years has used pretty girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion: “5.”
A.It’s not enough to have a good product.
B.Coloring, for example, varies(不同) according to what the producers are selling.
C.Any fool can make soup, but it takes a genius(天才) to sell it.
D.The colors tricked the customers into shopping.
E.The size of a product can attract a shopper.
F.A good product is an advantage(优势).
G.The colors turned the customers off.
