摘要： What Schipper said showed that she . A. was no longer Gould’s friend B. had learned a lot from Gould C. was not interested in Gould’s stories D. would not like to compete against Gould C With a good shopping position and the right amount of money, any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop. It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop. But the hours of work are very long-I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy-hour week, besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books. The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a time when I really did love books-loved the sight and smell and feel of them-if they were fifty or more years old, that is . Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds. There is a peculiar flavourabout the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets, or out-of-date geography books. For occasionalreading-in your bath , for example , or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed-there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book . But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop I stopped buying books. Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time, books were dull and even a little tiresome. Nowadays I do buy one occasionally, but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow, and I never buy rubbish.
