Four Bookstores Worth Visiting Around the World ◆ Word on the Water London, England This floating bookstore in the Regent's Canal is known as "The London Bookbarge". Formerly mobile, it has now found a permanent home where visitors can browse all year round, warm themselves up by a wood-burning fire in the winter and enjoy the performances of music and poetry on the rooftop stage in the summer. +44 7976886982, https://www.atlasobscura.com ◆ EL Ateneo Grand Splendid Buenos Aires, Argentina This theater-turned-cinema-turned-bookstore is an example of the connection between the performing arts and books. It preserves the traditional ceiling and special curtains of the former theater and books line the walls, including where the audience once sat in box seats. +54 1148136052, https://www.atlasobscura.com ◆Kay Craddock Antiquarian Bookseller Melbourne, Australia This shop sells only antique and second-hand books. Visitors can search for the strange collection of owl figurines (猫头鹰雕像) scattered throughout or they can check out the shelves to find classics，such as a collection by Jane Austen printed in 1833 selling for ＄15, 000. +61 (0)396548506, https://www.kaycraddock.com ◆ Zhongshuge Bookstore Hangzhou, China Each location of this Chinese bookstore chain is architecturally unique, but the location in Hangzhou stands out.

When you really love a book, or have just scored a new one that you’re dying to read, it can be exciting to pick up a smooth, shiny hardcover copy that creaks a little bit when you open it. But those hardcover books can be heavy, and new ones aren’t cheap, either. Sometimes, you’d just rather have a portable paperback—but if it’s a new book you’re after, you might have to wait a full year or so to get it in paperback form. Why are books released as hardcovers first? Not so long ago, hardcover books were the only type of books. Before the appearance of mass production, print runs were limited, and books were hard-bound and expensive. Around the 1930s, that changed with the production of mass-produced paperback books, which consisted with a huge surge in reading as a leisure activity around World War II. Paperback books were more affordable and cheaper to produce, which still holds true today. Despite the seeming advantages of paperbacks, there are several reasons why the hardcover has persisted. Because of its history, it conveys a bit more legitimacy (正统性) in the book world than the paperback does.” The hardback is a mark of quality…it shows booksellers and reviewers that this is a book worth paying attention to,” Philip Jones, editor at the Bookseller, explains to The Guardian. But the major reason why books come out as hardeovers is that people buy them, despite their higher cost. The Economist compares it to movies being released in theaters several months before they arrive on DVD. “Just as film fans like to see films on the big screen, collectors enjoy the hardback’s superior quality,” according to The Economist. And because they’re profitable, publishers can gain more from hardcovers, which “will often sell at twice the price of their paperback equivalent but do not cost twice as much to produce,” Jones explains. 【1】What can we learn about hardcover books from paragraph1? A.They appeal to real book-lovers. B.They are heavy but not expensive. C.They take a long time to come out. D.They are not preferred by book-lovers. 【2】What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean? A.Drop. B.Success. C.Blow. D.Increase. 【3】Why are hardback books still printed today? A.They are brilliantly edited. B.They are worth collecting. C.They convey correct information. D.They sell better than paperbacks. 【4】What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To introduce hardcover books. B.To present a new social finding. C.To explain a confusing problem. D.To encourage people to read books.

Never play games with a bot(robot)—it will find a way to cheat if it can. A team from OpenAI, an artificial intelligence lab in San Francisco, has developed artificially intelligent bots that taught themselves to cooperate by playing hide-and-seek. The bots also learned how to use basic tools to help them win. Bowen Baker at Open AI and his colleagues wanted to see if the team-based dynamics of the OpenAI Five could be used to produce skills that could one day be useful to humans. The researchers set their bots loose in a simulated (模拟的) environment filled with fixed walls, movable boxes and ladders, and left them to play team games of hide-and-seek. The bots each had their own view of the world and couldn’t communicate with each other directly. At first, the hiders simply ran away. But they soon worked out that the quickest way to stop the seekers was to find objects in the environment to hide themselves from view. The seekers learned that they could move boxes around and use them to climb over walls. The bots then discovered that being a team-player -passing objects to each other or cooperating on a hideout -was the quickest way to win. But the real surprise came when the bots started making use of problems or faults. Seekers found that if they pushed a ladder towards a wall, they could launch themselves into the air and spot hiders from above. Hiders found that they could get rid of the ladders by pushing them aside. It shows that AIs are able to find solutions that humans miss, says Baker. “Maybe they’ll even be able to solve problems that humans don’t yet know how to.” However, it is a large leap (跳跃) from virtual hide and seek to real problem-solving. “The main limitation is that it is in simulation,” says Chelsea Finn at Stanford University. 【1】Why did Bowen and his colleagues conduct the research? A.To teach bots to play games. B.To train bots to use basic tools. C.To find if bots may cheat like humans. D.To see the potential of robots cooperation. 【2】What’s the third paragraph mainly about? A.The tools of the research. B.The design of the research. C.The competitors of the game. D.The environment of the game. 【3】What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to? A.Passing objects. B.Moving boxes around. C.Making use of faults. D.Hiding themselves from view. 【4】What does Chelsea think of the finding of the research? A.It can bridge a gap in the AI research. B.It will not be influenced by the real world. C.It will definitely help the real problem-solving. D.It may not be realized out of the virtual world.

Why Do Autumn Leaves Change Color? We all enjoy the colors of autumn leaves.【1】 To answer this question, we first have to understand what leaves are and what they do. Leaves are nature’s food factories. Plants take water from the earth through their roots and take carbon dioxide from the air.【2】Plants use the sugar as food for energy. The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is called photosynthesis（光合作用）. Chlorophyll（叶绿素） helps make photosynthesis happen. Chlorophyll gives plants their green color. As summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and shorter.【3】 During winter, there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. Trees will rest and shut down their food-making factories. There is no chlorophyll in the leaves. As the bright green fades away（逐渐消失）, we begin to see yellow and orange colors.【4】We just can’t see them in the summer, because they are covered up by the green chlorophyll. The bright reds we see in leaves are made mostly in autumn. In some trees, like maples（ 枫 树 ), sugar is kept in the leaves after photosynthesis stops.【5】 The brown color of trees like oaks is made form the wastes which are left in the leaves. All these things make the beautiful colors we enjoy in autumn. A.Small amounts of these colors have been in the leaves all the time. B.Why do people prefer autumn leaves to summer leaves? C.Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into a kind of sugar. D.Have you ever wondered how and why an autumn leaf changes color? E.Yellow and orange colors attract many of us in autumn. F.This is how trees “know” when to begin getting ready for winter. G.Sunlight and the cool nights of autumn cause the leaves to turn the sugar into a red color.
