Like many lovers of books， Mary and her husband， Richard Goldman， seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.

When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989， they decided it was time to get serious. Richard， who worked for a business company， expected to work for himself， and Mary needed to slow down from her job.

They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty （專業(yè)） store because we couldnt afford enough money，” said Mary. One idea came to her： Shed read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries， and many buyers spent more $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery readers.

On Halloween 1992， they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college， the couple could not spend all the familys money to start a shop. To pay the $100，000 cost， they drew some of their savings and borrowed from friends and from a bank.

The store nearly broke even in its first year， with only $120，000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract buyers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and provided dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited some writers to discuss their stories.

Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420，000 a year. After paying taxes， business costs and the six part-time sales workers， Richard and Mary together earn about $34，000.

“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income （收入），” said Richard. “This has always been about a pleasant life for ourselves， not about making a lot of money.”

1. What did the couple realize when Mary was in hospital？

A. Health was more important than money.

2. After Mary got well from her illness she and Richard began to ___ .

A. study how to open a bookstore

B. buy and read more mystery books

C. do market research on book business

D. work harder to save money for the bookstore

3. How did the couple do about their bookstore in the first year？

A. They had to borrow money to keep it going.

B. They made just enough to pay all the costs.

C. They succeeded in making a lot of money.

D. They failed though they worked hard.

4. What is the main purpose of opening the bookstore according to Richard？

A. To pay for their childrens education.

B. To get to know more writers.

C. To set up more bookstores.

D. To do what they like to do.

Future and Today

It is well known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. But do you know what future really is？ I have to say that future is now. That is to say we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future， we should know how important time is and use it well.

There is an old English saying， “Gain time， gain life.” Then whats time？ Time is something that we cant see or touch， but we can feel it passing by. Time is always with us. When we are at table， time passes; when we play， time goes by unnoticeably （不明顯地）. We always say “Time is money”， but time is even more precious （珍貴的） than money， because when money is spent， we can earn it back. But if time is gone away， it will never return. So， some of us even say time is priceless.

We should always remember： future is now. For us students， we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. We should do everything before us as well as possible. And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.

As we all know， “Time and tide wait for no man.” If you waste today， you will regret tomorrow. So from now on work hard. Tomorrow will be better， and your future will be brighter. Remember， “No pains， no gains.” Todays hard work is the cause of tomorrows harvest.

A recent survey found that only 9 percent of teens in the United States smoke cigarettes （香煙）. Thats down from 23 percent in 2000. While this is good news for the USs overall health， tobacco （煙草） use is still a problem.

Cigarettes can cause many diseases. Although they know about the health problems， teenagers still smoke.

If it goes on like this， 5.8 million children alive today will die as a result of smoking.

The Truth Campaign is working to end teenage smoking. Their latest activities use social media （媒體） to remind teenagers of the dangers of smoking. “If we all join forces， smokers and non-smokers， we can end smoking once and for all，” the campaign website explained. The campaign encourages teens to learn the facts. “We are not here to criticize your choices， or tell you not to smoke. We are here to arm everyone， smokers and non-smokers， with the tools to make change，” they say.
