My father was in the military service when I was a child,so we moved every two years,but we insisted on going to bookshops wherever we lived.He would take me to the nearest bookshop every Saturday morning and wait patiently while I browsed(随便看看) —after all,the choosing of a new book is something that cannot be rushed.And so started my lifelong love affair with bookshops. Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ One day I was thinking up the setting for How to Find Love in a tiny bookshop when a feeling of calm,contentment,and excitement came over me.It was a feeling of perfect happiness.That was my light bulb moment:My book would be set in a bookshop,and I could explore what books meant to each of my characters and how they had shaped their lives. The book isn’t just about discovering romantic love.It’s about finding the love of books:something that can sustain you throughout your life,and provide escape,entertainment,education,comfort,wonder.And,as I learned from my own father,it’s a love you can share with everyone.There is nothing more satisfying than sharing something you have read with someone else,knowing they will love it as much as you do. Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ But if we are to keep bookshops alive,we need to use them,and to encourage the next generation to make them a part of their life and view bookshops as a treat,a pleasure,an adventure,a gateway,so they become something we can’t live without.Thus my challenge to you,fellow readers,is to go to your local bookshops as often as possible and come out with something that might change your life. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者从小就很喜欢读书,并且经常去书店。一天,作者在书店为自己的书《如何寻找爱》设置背景时,灵光一现,将自己的书以书店为背景,探索书籍对自己的每一个角色意味着什么,以及书是如何塑造他们的生活的。作者通过此文章号召读者要多去书店。 Ⅰ Ⅱ Ⅲ Ⅳ 1.Which word best describes the author’s relationship with bookshops as a child A.Distant.
