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 label-maker.In order to catch passers-bys attention, the billboards(广告牌) of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself.

You begin to realize that your boy, in your footsteps, could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions. My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment. Book reports werent written until the final threat. Ive been a newspaperman all my adult life. My daughter is a university graduate working toward her masters degree in English. But Jody? When he entered the tenth grade he became a “vo-tech” student(技校学生). Theyre called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”, I was shocked. “Hey, hes a good kid,” I wanted to say. “And smart, really.”I learned later that motorheads are, indeed, different. They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they dont often make school honor rolls(光荣榜).But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices dont have the abilities that motorheads have. I began to learn this when I had my car crashed. The cost to repair it was estimated at $800. “Hey, I can fix it,” said Jody. I doubted it , but let him go ahead, for I had nothing to lose.My son ,with other motorheads,fixed the car. They got parts(零件）from a junkyard, non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbours and co-workers trust theircar repair to him. Since that first repair job, a broken air-conditioner, a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.These kids are happiest when doing repairs. They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world. And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes. I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers, engineers need mechanics, and architects need builders. Most important, I have learned that fathers dont need clones in footsteps or anywhere else. My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.28. What used to be the authors hope for his son? A. To avoid becoming his clone. B. To resemble him in appearance. C. To develop in a different direction. D. To reach the authors unachieved goals.29.

C. it wouldnt cause him any more loss D. other motorheads would come to help.30. In the authors eyes, motorheads are _. A. tidy and hardworking B. cheerful and smart C. lazy but bright D. relaxed but rude31. What did the author realize in the end? A. It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path. B.

Here are some tips to get you started One Habit For 30 Days You focus on one change for thirty days._37_ Ive used this as the basis for most of my habit changes.
