in the costs of printing. they still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.there are many streets in london containing shops which specialize in bookselling. perhaps the best known of these is charing cross road in the very heart of london. here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from dickens time. some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. one shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.although it may be the most convenient place for londoners to buy books, charing cross road is not the cheapest. for really cheap secondhand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track,_to farringdon road, in the east central district of london. here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. the booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts (手推车) which line the streets. the collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. in places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.语篇解读：伦敦人酷爱读书。本文介绍了在伦敦能买书的一些地方。5“londoners are great readers” means that _.alondoners are great

is a saying that every good swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. but the knife had poor beginnings.in the late nineteenth century, the swiss army issued (发给) its soldiers a gun that required a special screwdriver (螺丝刀) to take it apart and clean it. at the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. swiss generals decided to issue each soldier a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.it was a lifesaver for swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper german imports. in 1884, carl elsener, head of the swiss knife manufacturer (maker) victorinox, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldiers knife that the army loved. it was a simple knife with one big blade (刀片), a can opener, and a screwdriver.a few years after the soldiers knife was issued, the “schweizer offizier messer”， or swiss officers knife, came on the market. interestingly, the officers knife was never given to those serving in the army. the swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew (瓶塞钻) for opening wine not “essential for survival”， so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. but its special multifunctional design later launched (发行) the knife as a global brand. after the second world war, a great number of american soldiers were stationed in europe. and as they could buy the swiss army knife at shops on army bases, they bought huge quantities of them.however, it seems that “schweizer offizier messer” was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the swiss army knife, and that is the name which is now known by all over the world.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了瑞士军刀的起源。9what is the main purpose of the passage?ato explain the origin of the swiss army knife.bto introduce the functions of the swiss
