题目内容:
Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable,whether you are a book lover or just go there to buy a book as a present.You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.Whatever the reason is ,you can soon get lost in reading . You soon become attracted 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 rush off to keep some forgotten appointment(约会)-without buying a book,of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is,I think,the main attraction of a bookshop.There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop.You can wander round such a place freely. If it is a good shop,no assistant will walk close to you with the greeting "Can I help you,sir?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should stay in the background until you have finished reading.Then,and only then,are his services necessary.
Once, a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t get it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a certain bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was hidden in a corner. “I put it there in case someone else bought it!” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.
