Films provide more than just entertainment.For many people,watching English films is a way to develop language skills.While watching a film,you are immersed(沉浸在)in the language and can pick up new expressions that you might not find in a textbook.Some difficulties can arise when watching English films—for example,unfamiliar colloquial language or strong regional accents.With this in mind,here are my tips to help you make progress in English learning while enjoying the films.

A busy public square in the Chinese city of Nanjing is home to an unusual experiment.

For almost two months, the country’s first “honesty bookshop” has occupied(占据) a sidewalk on HanZhong Road in the city’s Gulou District.

With no cashier or other staff, the store relies on trust for payment.

Making money isn’t the company’s main goal and they don’t punish those who take books without paying.

“If they can really finish the books, it doesn’t matter if they took the books for free,” Zhu Yu, the marketing director of the company says.

“In fact, we are really happy to witness so many people taking books from the honesty bookshop.”

After browsing the four wooden bookshelves, customers must drop their money in a locked box.

Prices are set at 30% of the usual cover price.

Zhu hopes that his sidewalk store, which sells, on average, 60 books a day, will make more people interested in reading.

Like elsewhere, e-books are affecting sales of traditional books, and traditional books and many independent booksellers are struggling.

Zhu got permission from the city government to use the sidewalk and says he’s determined to make it a long-term project.

He says the store is open every day, except when it rains, and it’s locked up each night.

In September last year, the company laid out 1,000 books and reading lamps on the ground and encouraged people “to go on a date” with a book.

“Independent bookshops represent the well-being of the city.” Zhu told CNN in 2013, “when a city is losing its bookshops, it’s actually losing something in its soul.”

If the success of the Honesty Bookstore is any guide, Nanjing’s soul is in pretty good shape.

1.How is the bookstore different from other bookstores?

A. There is no cashier in it.

B. There are no paper books in it.

C. None of the customers need to pay for the books.

D. Only honest customers can visit the shop.

2.What does Zhu Yu say about customers who take away books without paying?

A. They will be forbidden from visiting the bookstore again.

B. They will have to pay a lot of money next time they visit the shop.

C. They are not doing wrong if they finish reading the books.

D. They will not be allowed to take books away next time.

3.What is one of the purposes of opening the bookstore?

A. To encourage people to read.

B. To make customers honest.

C. To check whether customers are honest.

D. To help people learn about Nanjing.

4.What can we learn from the text?

A. The shop is only open on weekends.

B. The books in the shop are more expensive than shoes in other shops.

C. 30% of the normal cover price is charged for each book.

D. The shop is not locked at night.
