A.根据短文内容，完成下列表格中的信息。

In the past two days, I’ve been to two very different bookstores. They were both in Beijing, and both attracted people in their 20s and 30s. So why were they so different? Because one store was for Chinese people, and one was for Westerners.

At the Western bookstore, in Sanlitun, the books put on display in front—the ones expected to be the most popular—were biographies (传记), books about history, and books about politics and current (现在的) events. Farther back, there was a big shelf full of novels.

At the Chinese store, at the Beijing airport, there were very few books on history, and books on politics and current events were even harder to find. There were a few biographies, but they seemed to be of an instructive (教育性的) nature; almost all of them were about rich people, and how they got rich. What the store did have was lots and lots of books on how to learn English.

As a Westerner, I found this surprising. The kinds of books I’m used to seeing people read—the kinds that were at the first store—are the kinds people read to escape (逃脱) their daily lives. But here most of the books were on how to get rich and how to study English—how to work better and how to study better.

These Chinese books offered no escape from daily life—only ways to improve it. Perhaps this is another area where Westerners and Chinese people can learn from each other. We Westerners could certainly read a bit more for practical purposes (目的). But I also think Chinese people might benefit (受益) from more of something my teachers always encouraged: Reading for fun.

Some countries are better than others at looking after the environment. In Europe, Germany(德国) and northern European countries work very hard to improve the environment. The people in Germany put their rubbish into different bags—paper in one bag, plastic in another bag, etc. There are laws that do not allow people to burn too much coal.

In the 1970s, as people learned more about environmental problems, the “Green” movement(运动) began and soon spread all over Europe. The “Green” movement tries to get governments to protect the environment. It collects information about how industry is damaging(毁坏) the environment and tells newspapers.
