hatever the reason is, you can soon bee 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 bee 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 discreetly(謹慎地) and look as if he is not interested in selling a single 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, say ancient coins and to e out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing—something which had only slightly interested you up till 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 wandering from section to section.57.The underlined phrase “dust jacket” means ______.A. a kind of clothesB. a paper cover of a bookC. a dusty bookD. a title of a book58.You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ______.A. the dust jackets are very attractiveB. you start reading one of the booksC. it is raining outsideD. you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present59.In a good bookshop ______.A. all the books there are interestingB. the assistant greets you in a warm wayC. your heart is satisfiedD. you feel that you are in a music shop60.The best title of this passage may be ______.A.

I went to buy a gift to make his day special. The subway train taking me home was crowded, but I was lucky to get a seat. I sat there quietly imagining my father’s smiling, satisfied and happy face at receiving the gift. The train stopped at the next stop and an old lady with two large suitcases got on. Seeing her so tired, I offered my seat to her although I felt exhausted myself. The old lady thanked me and I smiled back at her.Maybe that was another gift for my father. I also realized how much sweeter the journey would be if you made it smoother for others!
