21、Who would have thought of creating a library in a war zone where danger surround people? But a few book lovers have built an underground library in Darayya, Syria, which provides learning, hope and inspiration.

Anas Ahmad is one of the founders of the library and he is a former civil engineering student. Many times he and his friends risk their lives to collect books from destroyed houses near the front line. That means they have to be extremely careful when they go through bombed-out buildings; they have to hide themselves from snipers (狙击手).

Since the library was built, its creators have collected more than 14,000 books from abandoned (被弃置的) houses and buildings. “We saw that it was important to create a new library so that we could continue our education,’’ said Ahmad.

People throughout the city have put the library to good use. Doctors in the town are using the books to continue their studies and treat patients; these books even help them perform surgeries (手术). Teachers are using the books to prepare classes in the war town. Unfortunately, children will not be found in the library as it is too dangerous to walk there.

24、A new retail phenomenon from Japan which allows customers to walk away with free products is to launch in Britain. From tomorrow, visitors to SampleTrend’s central London store can try anything on its shelves, and all of the products can be taken home without charge.

For an annual membership fee of £60，users are free to enter the shop once a month and help themselves to no less than £250 worth of goods every year. The only ‘catch’ is that shoppers are asked to complete a simple questionnaire about each product they try. Known as ‘try-vertising’，the concept allows manufacturers to test products and receive consumer feedback(反馈）before launching onto the open market. It is already a sensation in Japan and now looks set to transform the fortunes of the embattled UK retail industry. If everything goes well, countries such as Germany and France will give it a try. According to new figures, stores are facing a Christmas crisis with the weakest high street trading for six months. Michael Ghosh, the founder behind SampleTrend, said, “The concept behind SampleTrend is unique in the UK. It allows shoppers the opportunity to walk away with a number of real, full-size products of their choosing without handing over a penny.” The concept of in-store try-vertising is simple but effective. Businesses across all sectors from cosmetic manufacturers to beverage makers, place new products on the shelves at SampleTrend and wait for consumers to try them out.

Customers complete a short 10-point questionnaire about the product. The feedback they provide is used to make any finishing touches before the product is brought officially to market. The SampleTrend store stocks everything from cosmetics, food and drink, and household goods. Ghosh, the former advertising and sales director for Disney Europe, said such feedback may also build brand loyalty from the outset— a particularly appealing prospect for new businesses.

【1】The most attractive part of the idea for customers is that_____.

A. they only pay £60 for a life-long membership

B. they can help to make the products better

C. it won’t take much time to finish the questionnaire

D. they can take things home without paying for them

【2】The idea of ‘try-vertising’ originates from_____.

A. Germany   B. Britain   C. Japan   D. France

【3】The purpose of ‘try-vertising’ is to_____.

A. get feedback for their new products

B. sell more products at Christmas time

C. encourage people to buy more products

D. give customers free products as gifts

【4】What does Michael Ghosh think of this business idea?

A. Puzzling.   B. Unpractical.

C. Promising.   D. Surprising.
