You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason is, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. 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（約定）without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to keep away from the real life is, I think, the main attraction（吸引） of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can walk round such places to your hearts quietness.If it is a good shop, no clerk will bother you with usual greetings, “Can I help you, sir?” Of course you may want to find out where a special section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. However, when he has led you there, the clerk should leave carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by different 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. This kind of things can be very dangerous.（ ）1. People go into a bookshop for all these reasons except that_ .A. they are book-loversB. they want to have a meetingC. theres a heavy rain outsideD. they want to buy a book as a present（ ）2. The writer means_by saying “Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable”.A. there is nobody knowing you thereB. reading is the most important in lifeC. you may free yourself from the real lifeD. you can enter without any certain reason（ ）3. The writer thinks that in a good bookshop, the clerk should_.A. follow you everywhereB. always greet you politelyC. be interested in selling booksD. leave you alone until you need help（ ）4. The best title of the passage might be_.A. Running a BookshopB. Reading MoreC. Peoples Experience in BookshopsD. Advice on Buying Books三、詞匯運用（15分）A）用方框中所給詞的適當(dāng)形式填空，每詞限用一次。 sleep heavy match report rise 1. Now people hardly use_ anymore.2.

Its really bad for their health. Now its time to stop phubbing.First, it has a bad influence on their eyes. It also affects their study because of playing with the electronic products. Whats worse, they communicate less with their family.Some people think that it is necessary for teenagers to do more sports and travel in their free time. Its also a good way to read books to open up their eyes. And schools should organize more outdoor activities to help them to relax.In my opinion, hanging out with friends is a good way to stay away from electronic screens. It is also necessary for parents to spend more time talking with their children. Anyway, its important for us to lead a healthy life!9
