2、nding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 0 (76) Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, y
3、ou 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
4、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 whe
5、re it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your hearts content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with inevitable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?“ You neednt buy anything you dont want. In a bookshop an assistant sh
6、ould 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 sin
7、gle 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-rubbingsomething that had only vaguely int
8、erested you up until then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time w

He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wi
13、fe, and literature is my lover. “ Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story. (77) When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family. After
14、 he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper. As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhovs medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference(冷漠 ) many of his characters show to tragic events. In 1892, he became a ful
15、l time writer and published some of his most memorable stories. Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair. It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhovs stories and plays. H
16、e made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters. (78) Chekhovs work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感 ) of an artist. Some of Chekhovs works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s.

(79) It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong abo
21、ut that, “ and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. “ I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me mat he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if
22、 I remembered the egg cartons. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular clue, I must have found my way to the
23、 dairy food department where the incident took place. (80) There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the s
24、tacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together; so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my k
25、nees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit (罪犯 ). He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.
