The bookstore is open 24 hours a day. Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors works. So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there.Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars. All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what theyve bought and leave their money by themselves. So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a labelmaker.In order to catch passersbys attention，the billboards(广告牌)of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself.

Daily Mirror and Daily Express both sell about four million copies every day. British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and two or three on Sundays. Besides the national papers, there is, however, another branch of the British press which sells a lot. Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Almost every town and country area has one. Nearly all of them hold their own financially (财政上) and many of them are very profitable (赚钱的).These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events births, weddings, deaths, council meetings and sports. Editors prefer to depend on people who know the district well. A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighborhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news. The editors must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to draw local readers, the businessmen are grateful for the chances to keep their products in the public eye. 28.

Here are 5 ways to make that happen:1.Exercise. 36 Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workout and add some strength exercises to build muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn, even when you arent exercising.2 37 . One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an increase in screen time the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the computer, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. 3.Watch out for portion distortion. Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. 38 4.Eat 5 servings of fruits and vitamins a day. 39 Theyre also packed with fiber, which means they fill you up. And when you fill up on fruits and vitamins, youre less likely to overeat when it comes to high-calorie foods like chips or cookies.5. 40 Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism(新陈代谢), burning calories from the get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on. So they get more calories than they would have if they ate breakfast.A. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle. both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off. B. So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of soda. C. Diets arent the way to go when it comes to losing weight. D. Dont skip breakfast. E. Fruits and vegetables are about more than just vitamins and minerals.F. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. G. Reduce screen time.36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 第三部分 英语知识运用第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。In 2002, when my father was transferred (调动) to the US to work there for seven months, I had to attend school in Manhattan, New York, so I was upset.
