Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or merely go 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, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible（不可抗拒的）, although this method of selection ought not be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually 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 where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart' s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: " Can I help you, sir? " You needn' t buy anything you don' t want. In a bookshop an assistant should 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 single book.
You have to be careful not 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, say ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest bestselling novel and perhaps a book about brass rubbing（拓印）-something which had only slightly interested you up till then.
This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and 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（欠下一大笔债）, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.
Mary was an ordinary-looking Australian girl. She lived with her parents, but too1 care was given to her dull factory-worker dad and her smoking mum. She had no friends in real life so she had to find a pen pal. She then wrote to a random New Yorker, Max, who was a lonely 44-years-old man. Max was overweight and was2 anxiety. Mary' s letter completely changed Max' s life. 3 Max hesitated about whether to write back, he made a response to Mary with a bar of chocolate eventually. And this was the beginning of their 20-years correspondence and deep friendship.
The above is part of this story of the animated film Mary and Max. The director of the movie, Adam Elliot, created it with cute claymation（黏土动画）. The movie tells about a story of friendship.
Mary and Max were each others' only friend, which made their friendship even more precious. In most other films, friendship can 4 do anything, from saving the earth to removing every obstacle in one' s life. But it is not the same case in this film. Mary and Max' s road to friendship wasn' t filled with easy answers. Max was never able to lose weight, and Mary never really5 the shadow of her parents.
But most important, Mary and Max had each other, who knew and loved each other better than anybody else did. This is what a friend does: We know we are 6 , but we still love each other from the bottom of our heart.
With rising food prices, g population and environment problems, many people are worrying about how we will feed ourselves in the future. Don' t worry. Scientists are trying to find some answers to help people s .
Some scientists believe insects will become a staple（主食）of our diet. Insects provide us many nutrients as ordinary meat and are a good source of protein. They also cost l to raise than cows and sheep. About 1400 species are suitable as food for humans.
Many people already eat insects as a r part of their diet. Caterpillars（毛毛虫）and locusts（蝗虫）are popular in Africa, wasps（黄蜂）are a dish in Japan, and crickets（蟋蟀）are, eaten in Thailand. The Dutch government is now considering the possibility of an insect diet s . It is preparing for insects farms and has invested one million euros into research.
In the future, land and fresh water will be in increasing short s . It is possible that people need to find a reliable food source in the ocean. Scientists have already found one at the b of the food chain—seaweed. It has long been a staple in Asia. And countries including Japan have huge seaweed farms. The great thing shout seaweed is that it grows at an amazing speed. It is the fastest growing paint on the earth.
The coffee tree is a native of eastern Africa, but it was in Arabia that it first became known to the people in Europe, and until about they year 1700 A. D. That country produced the entire supply. Then the coffee seeds found their way to Java, by means of some traders, and one of the first plants grown on that island was sent to South America, where the cultivation（种植）of coffee has steadily increased, extending to the West Indies, until now the offspring（后代）of this one plant produce more coffee than is obtained from all the other plants in the world.
The plant is evergreen, and is from six to twelve feet high, the stem（茎）being from ten to fifteen inches in diameter. Its fruit is like a cherry, and is very good to eat. Under the pulp（果肉）of this cherry found the bean or berry we call coffee, wrapped in a fine, thin skin. The berry is at first very soft, and has a bad taste; but as the cherry ripens the berry grows harder, and the dried-up fruit becomes a shell or pod（荚）of a deep brown color. When the fruit is so ripe that it can be shaken from the tree, the husks（外壳）are separated from the berries, and are used, in Arabia, by the natives, while the berries are sold.
Before the berry can be used, it undergoes a process of roasting. The amount of aromatic（芳香的）oil brought out in roasting has much to do with the market value of coffee, and it has been found that the longer the raw coffee is kept, the richer it becomes in this oil, and so the more valuable. But after the coffee is roasted, and especially after it is ground（磨碎）, it loses its aroma rapidly.
Arabia produces the celebrated Mocha coffee, which is the finest in the world; but little or none of the best product is ever taken out of that country, The Java coffee from the East Indies is next prized, but the best quality of this kind is also quite difficult to obtain, and many, therefor, prefer the finest grades of Rio coffee from South America to such Mocha and Java.
