Passage Two
?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the
following passage.
?
Spending time in a bookshop can be most
enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or
merely go there to buy a book as a
present. You may even have entered the shop just
to
find
shelter
from
a
sudden
shower.
Whatever
the
reason,
you
can
soon
become
totally unaware of your surroundings.
The desire to pick up a book with an attractive
dust-jacket is irresistible, although
this method of selection ought not to be followed,
as
you
might
end
up
with
a
rather
dull
book.
You
soon
become
engrossed
in
some
book or other, and usually
it is only much later that you realize
you
have
spend
too
much
time
there
and
must
dash
off
to
keep
some
forgotten
appointment-without
buying
a
book,
of
course.
?
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
placesto 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.
Of course,
you may want to find out where a
particular section is, but when he has led you
there,
the
assistant
should
retire
discreetly
and
look
as
if
he
is
not
interested
in
selling
a
single book.
?
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. Apart from running up a huge
account
, you can waste a great deal of
time wandering from section to
section.
?
Book-seller
must be both long-suffering
and indulgent.
There is
a story
which well
illustrates this. A medical student had
to read a text-book 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 a
long
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 was about to leave when
he noticed the owner of the shop
beckoning to him. Expecting to be told off, he
went
towards 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.
