The price of books is now so high that I hesitate before buying a book I love. Many people feel the same way. But I remember that only a few years ago, when I was a college student, I bought several books almost every month, using what was left out of the living expenses sent by my parents, and that was not more than 200 yuan.
But now that I am working and the money I earn is only used to support my own expenses, I find I can’t afford many good books.
There is a saying, “Book lovers have no money, but rich people have no feelings for books”. This is exactly the case. Sometimes I wonder about who the books are published for, especially those books with beautiful hard covers.
It is said that usually, the listed price is more than twice as much as the book’s cost and we can see high profits from selling books. But now there is a contradiction. On one hand, readers who want to buy books aren’t able to, while on the other hand, publishers and sellers suffer from the large stockpiles of unsaleable books being stored in their warehouses. This situation is also a disadvantage to intellectual property right protection because many books of bestsellers are sold at a lower price at some book stands.
The key to resolve the problem is to cut the price to an acceptable level to both sellers and consumers.
I wish sincerely that in the near future common readers like me can buy the books we want without worrying about the high prices too much.

As a reader, I, as many other book lovers do, often leave with a long sigh after visiting a bookstore. The prices printed on book jackets keep reminding me how thin my wallet is.

laundry, meals, carpool, snacks and outings. The only thing on my husband's description would be the
word "fun" written in big red letters along the top.
Our parenting styles complement each other. His style is a nonstop adventure where no one has to
worry about washing their hands, or eating vegetables. I'm too busy worrying to be fun. Besides, every
time I try, I am constantly outdone by my husband.
I bought my children bubble gumflavored toothpaste, and I taught them how to brush their teeth. They
thought it was neat until my husband taught them how to rinse(濑口)by spitting out water between their
two front teeth like a fountain.
I tried singing fun songs as I washed behind my children's ears during bath time. They enthusiastically
sang and clapped until their father came in and taught them how to catapult (弹射) the soap into the sink
with the washcloth.
I took the children for a nature walk to corral (把……赶入……) a slow ladybug(瓢虫)into my son's
insect cage. I was "cool" until their father came home, spent two minutes in the backyard, and captured a
beetle the size of a Chihuahua (吉娃娃,一种产于墨西哥的狗)．.
I try to tell myself I am a good parent even if my husband does things I can't do. I can make sure my
children are safe. But I can't wire the VCR so my children can't watch their favourite video.
I can carry my children in my arms when they are tired and kiss them good night. But I can't flip them
upside down so they can walk on the ceiling or prop them on my shoulders so they can see the moths
flying inside the light fixture.
I can take them to doctor appointments, but I'll never go into the wilderness to fish. I'll even sit in the
first row of every Little League game, but I'll never teach my children how to hit a home run or slide into
first base.
I can do a lot of things for my children, but no matter how hard I try, I can never be their father.
