The man wanted to know the secret very much, so he handed the boy the money.“Now show me how it works,” he said. “Well”, the boy began, “you hold (拿) the mirror towards the water, and when a fish goes by, the sunlight in the mirror gives him a surprise.

23、These days so many things are going digital, and books are too. People can buy e-books or cheap books online. This means that some bookstores have a hard time staying open. This isn’t a new problem, but things are finally starting to turn around.

Bookstore sales in the US went up 2.5 percent from 2014 to 2015, according to the US Census Bureau. They have found success by trying new things like holding events, adding a coffee shop and food and creating a fun experience for book lovers. “That’s what small bookstores have to offer,” Nicole Sullivan, owner of Denver’s Book Bar, told the Denver Post, “a more personalized（个性化的）experience and a sense of community.”

Also, bookstores are trying to bring in new shoppers in cool ways. The Shakespeare and Co. bookstore in New York is adding the Espresso Book Machine, which can print any book you want in five minutes at the store. This special machine can help people search for books easily.

And sometimes, if you can’t beat them, it’s okay to join them. Many stores like Second Story Books in Washington, DC, use online bookstores like Amazon to their advantage. They have two bookstores. People can pick out new books they like and enjoy themselves in the actual bookstores（实体店）. And they also sell books on Amazon to make more money.

While bookstores still face difficulties, it seems there are ways for them to succeed.

24、What does the word “patent (专利权)” mean to you? Does it interest you? If it does, stop and think a moment about some of the common things that you use every day: the telephone, radio, television, and the thousands of other things that enrich our lives today, were once only ideas in the minds of men. If it had not been possible to patent their ideas, so as to protect them from being copied, these inventions might never have been fully developed to serve human beings.

If there were no patent protection, there would be little encouragement to invent, for once the secrets of an invention became known, those who did not experience the inventor’s risks and expenses (花费) might well fill the market with their copies of his product and steal much of the benefit (益处) of his efforts.

The most basic values in the U. S. patent system came from England. During the rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England, the growing technology was furthered by the giving of exclusive privileges (独家特权) to people who had invented new processes (程序) or tools—a step that did much to encourage creativity. Later, an important value was added: society had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving exclusive privileges to an inventor, because a patent for an invention was given for something new that society never had before.

George Washington signed the first patent law on April 10, 1790, and less than four months later, the first patent was given to a man named Samuel Hopkins for a chemical process, an improved method in soap making.

In 1936, the Patent Office became a separate department and it has grown into an organization of over 2,500 people who every week deal with more than 1,600 patent applications, and of those, give more than 1,000. A patent may be given for any new and useful process, machine, or planning method.

The patent system has also helped to improve the pay of the American worker to an unexpected level; he can produce and earn more by using computers or adding machines, two important patented inventions. Patented inventions also help keep prices down by encouraging competition.

Our patent laws, like the Constitution from which they grew, have stood the test of time. They have encouraged creative processes, brought great benefits to society as a whole, and enabled American technology to outstrip that of the rest of the modern world.

【1】From the passage, what can we learn about inventors?

A．They make a lot of money.

B．They fight against copiers.

C．They have a lot of experience.

D．They put effort into inventions.

【2】Why were inventors given exclusive privileges?

A．Because their inventions made leaders happy.

B．Because their creativity is very important.

C．Because their inventions could enlarge society.

D．Because they were the smartest people in society.

【3】According to the passage, the patent system is good for America because ________.

A．it helps more workers get jobs

B．it provides a first-class service

C．it produces less expensive things

D．it helps inventors find markets

【4】What is the meaning of “outstrip” in the last paragraph?

A．be better than

B．catch up with

C．make better use of

D．cost more than
