单选题Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. But the desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust-jacket is irresistible. You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize that you have spent far too much time there. 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 places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting: "Can I help you, sir?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing- something which had only vaguely interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Booksellers must be both long suffering and indulgent. There is a story which well illustrates this. A medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in his 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 dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and about to leave when he noticed the owner of the shop beckoning to him. Expecting to be reproached, he went toward him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was tucked away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it," he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.Notes: to one's heart's content尽情地。 beckon v. 打招呼。

单选题The popular notion that older people need less sleep than younger adults is a myth, scientists said yesterday. While elderly people 27 to sleep for fewer hours than they did when they were younger, this has a (n) 28 effect on their brain's performance and they would benefit from getting more, according to research. Sean Drummond, a psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said that older people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at sleeping 29 straight through the night. More sleep in old age, however, is 30 with better health, and most older people would feel better and more 31 if they slept for longer periods, he said. 'The ability to sleep in one chunk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount of sleep we need to 32 well does not change,' Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference in San Diego. 'It's 33 a myth that older people need less sleep. The more healthy an older adult is, the more they sleep like they did when they were 34 . Our data suggests that older adults would benefit from 35 to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s. That's 36 from person to person, but the amount of sleep we had at 35 is probably the same amount we need at 75.'
