21、With online booksellers and e-readers becoming popular, traditional booksellers seem to be dying out. But is it true? Many bookstores are now trying everything to make more readers enjoy staying there to read or choose books they like. And some of them have done a great job.
Usually, online stores have larger number of books than traditional bookstores. Some traditional ones are clever enough to sell just one kind of book and win the hearts of a specific group of people. Trends Lounge in Beijing is such a place for art lovers. The bookstore has walls of books which are about arts and artists. You may meet famous artists there or maybe even a happy couple that choose to get married in the bookstore.
Some other bookstores are trying to make themselves more than just a place that sells books. They want to be somewhere for people to socialize. The Eslite Bookstore in Taipei has spaces including clothes stores, cafes and tea houses. It also holds lots of activities on reading, such as talks with famous writers. All these make the bookstore a cultural landmark in Taipei. Luckily for book lovers on the Chinese mainland, Eslite opened a store in Suzhou in 2015. Some bookstores even go one step further. They themselves have become symbols of the city culture by showing the local culture of the city where they are. For example, Hong Kong has many second-floor bookstores because street-level stores are paid much more. These bookstores are small, but their books a are carefully chosen by the owners, just like the city of Hong Kong.
It’s true that a great bookstore can make people enjoy reading in many ways. After all, reading online can’t bring you the touch of paper, the smell of print, and the strong feeling that you are going on a wonderful journey with each new book in a bookstore.
Paper books give people a very different reading experience than e-books. Harvard did a research last year that found out reading from an e-book at night makes a big difference to your ability to sleep and among other things. When reading a book, the paper kind, one can memorize and understand better than reading off an e-reader. So come to enjoy the beauty of real books in the bookstore!

24、Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you should know some table manners.
EATING MANNERS
Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp(发出啧啧的声音)when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.
Russia: Your wrists(手腕)should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in the left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.
France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.
Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “prove Cho”. It means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It’s a social occasion-lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit is very important in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say “enjoy your meal” before you leave the table.
DRINKING MANNERS
America: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges(迫使)that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite to put the last drops into your own glass.
Australia: In a pub (酒吧), it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say “It’s my round.” When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.
Japan: Don’t fill your own glass with alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.

A.keep silent if you catch the eye of a stranger
