Right after the Second World War, Germany was in ruins. Almost all the houses, factories and schools were destroyed. Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless. Worse still, the supply of water and electricity was often cut off in the city. Two American journalists interviewed a German family living in the basement. The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just dismissed from a clothing company. Worse still, there were bills for them to pay—four children to care for and food to buy. Life was hard for them at that time.

After the interview, the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company.

“Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland?”

“Absolutely.”

“But I can’t see any hope for the country at all. How can you be so certain about that?”

“Have you noticed what they put on the table in the basement? There was a vase of flowers. A nation, suffering at such moment, hasn’t forgotten about flowers. It shows that hopes are not lost. They are still able to dream. A nation with hope can create miracles. They are sure to be able to rebuild their homeland.”

Are you happy with your appearance? 1.

“Almost all the girls with single-fold eyelids in our class have had double-eyelid operations,” Zeng, a Senior 2 student from Chengdu, told Xinhua. Zeng had the same surgery done this summer. 2.

From popular photo-editing apps to plastic surgery, it seems that large eyes, pale skin and a skinny body are the only standard for beauty these days. But can following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves?

People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. "There is no such thing as genius," Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.

But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.

Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure.

Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. “Work,” he answered, “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

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.
