For many people, bookstores remain an important part of the cityscape. They provide quiet and comforting spots for you 【小题1】 （refresh）the mind and body. But can you imagine 【小题2】 it is like to have a contemporary bookstore in an ancient village, deep in the mountains?

【小题3】 （found）in the city of Nanjing in 1996, Librairie Avant-Garde is a well-known bookstore brand in China. Since its 【小题4】 （establish）, it has explored a cultural and creative business model, whose themes range from cultural salon or coffee and art gallery 【小题5】 elements of film, music, lifestyle and fashion.

One of its branches in Chenjiapu village in Lishui city, Zhejiang province, 【小题6】 （cover）300 square meters with about 30,000 books and related products. The store, located in a corner of the village, receives up to 50,000 visitors during the busiest travel season, with income this year already 【小题7】 （hit）1.5 million yuan（$234,600）.

The bookstore in Chenjiapu has become 【小题8】 must-see attraction. Chenjiapu 【小题9】 （it）is being praised as a demonstration zone for closing urban-rural development gaps and achieving common prosperity（繁荣）.

The latest development efforts and achievements, including its “cliffside bookstore", show how the area is 【小题10】 （gradual）realizing its green, common prosperity dream, in line with the major concept that “lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets（资产）”.

A FOREIGNER IN A FOREIGN LAND

This is a great travel quote, and one that greatly reflects the issue I have with many travelers. Why do people, when visiting other cities and countries, think the destination should change itself 【小题1】 (cater) to them? It’s something I think many travelers do 【小题2】 even realizing it, and can be detrimental to allowing yourself to really experience and appreciate a destination as well as have true cultural immersion.

I can think of one example off the top of my head that 【小题3】 (occur) during a trip through Europe with a girl named Kate. One day in Vienna we went to a McDonald’s so Kate could get a tomato and mozzarella salad, only the cashier didn’t speak English. We had thought she had understood the order, but brought over a Caesar salad. Instead of just eating the salad and getting over it, Kate turned into Mr. Hyde, snapping at the girl 【小题4】 she had acted out of line.

“THIS ISN’T WHAT I WANTED,” said Kate, a little too loudly for my taste.

The cashier looked 【小题5】 (confuse ), most likely because she didn’t know 【小题6】 Kate was saying but could comprehend she was angry.

“Kate, just eat the Caesar salad and we can go somewhere else if you’re still hungry,” I begged, 【小题7】 (feel) the people around us staring.

“No!” she shouted.” I really want that salad. “Turning back to the girl, she said sternly, “I ordered a mozzarella salad! Do you understand me?!”

Then she turned to me and uttered the five words 【小题8】 make my blood boil: “Why doesn’t she speak English?”

Because we’re in Vienna! In reality, the real question should have been why didn’t we speak Austrian? This city 【小题9】 have seemed odd to us, but in reality we were the odd ones, an American and a Canadian from thousands of miles away who didn’t speak the language, didn’t have the same diet and knew 【小题10】 about classical music. I almost wished the cashier would turn to Kate and toss the salad in her face and scream, “Learn to speak Austrian!”

Buy, buy in Bangkok

The city of angles is a divine destination for those who are in heaven when they shop，spa and eat, according to a report by China Daily.

Even if you are just in town for a few days, 【小题1】 (shop) in Bangkok is an experience not to be missed. From air-conditioned malls to cheerful markets, you have a trip made in heaven for those 【小题2】 like to keep the swings open.

It is in Central Bangkok 【小题3】 you will also find the tempting delights and welcoming chilled (休闲舒适的)interiors of refined palaces of luxury consumption such as Central Chidlom，which has a “one-stop shopping” philosophy 【小题4】 (feature) a wide selection of goods from both international and top local brand names. In-store services include personal fashion stylists who will provide professional advice 【小题5】 clothing, make-up, hair styling and accessories that will suit you best. For Muslim customers there’s a prayer room 【小题6】 (locate) on the 6^th floor. The store is also a participant in Bangkok’s VAT refund (增值税退款)for tourists. This means most tourists 【小题7】 claim a VAT refund of from 4 to 6.1 percent 【小题8】 they spend 2,000 baht (64$) or more in a day and claim a refund at the airport.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Chidlom is one of Bangkok’s popular recreational destinations for young people. Central World is a buzzing 550,000 square meters —that’s 77 soccer fields — of retail and entertainment, including two mega stores ZEN and Isetan, more than 500 stores，100-pius restaurants, a 15-screen cinema, an ice skating rink and 【小题9】 (large) supermarket in Asia. And you can drop your kids off at the play and learning centers, Thailand Knowledge Park or Genius Planet Zone, where there are trained supervisors 【小题10】 (keep) an eye on them and guarantee they make the most of the edutainment environments.
