The Book Thief was written by the Australian author Markus Zusak and it has been his most popular work. Published (出版) in 2005, it has become an international bestseller and been translated into several languages. In 2013, it was adapted into a film of the same name.

Are you wondering who the“book thief”is? It was Liesel Meminger, a 12-year-old girl living in Germany during World War II. While the Nazis were creating horrors (恐怖) all around, Liesel came across something that she couldn’t give up: books. She stole books that belonged to the mayor’s (市长的) wife, as well as books that the Nazis wanted to destroy.

A Jewish man named Max inspired Liesel’s love for books. Liesel’s family hides Max in their house. He developed a close relationship with Liesel and taught her to read in secret. Soon, Liesel realized the power of words. She not only stole books, but also wrote her own stories.

“It is not the kind of story that has you crying one moment and laughing the next,” as The Guardian reported. Instead, the sadness of Liesel’s story interests you. It makes you realize that such kinds of things have happened to many other people. And it makes you think a lot.

Since last year, city streets around China have seen colorful shared bikes, which people can r【1】 with a smartphone app and park wherever they choose. To r【2】 traffic jams and air pollution, many cities have offered bike-sharing, but sometimes dreams can turn sour.

As shared bikes become more popular, problems keep showing up. According to news reports, shared bikes are b【3】 treated（对待）by users. When people are using the bike, some of them just throw it onto streets and even into ditches. Recently, a man in Shanghai was f【4】 1,000 yuan for stealing a shared bike.

At the same time, the d【5】 to the QR codes on bikes has brought huge losses to bike-sharing companies, like Mobikes. If the QR-code is damaged, the bike cannot be used any more. It can cost several hundred yuan for the company workers to find a lost bike and get it r【6】.

Mobike has credit(信用) scores for each u【7】. Punishment(处罚) will be taken in case of users' bad behavior. Bike rental will go up to five yuan per minute if the score f【8】 to below 80.

However, punishment may not be the b【9】 way to stop shared bikes from being stolen or damaged. Bike-sharing services will work well only if people follow the rules and show r【10】 for the bikes and others.
