五、完形填空
Now people are turning to a simple (简约的) lifestyle. They 1 __________ to buy second-hand things at a low price (低价). Buying second-hand things not only 2 __________ less money, but also is good for the environment. 3 __________ people are doing this these days.
A student says, “When I want to buy books, I’ll first go to the second-hand markets (市场) or look through some second-hand shops on the internet. Such books are cheap (便宜的) — as much as 70% lower 4 __________ new ones. If I’m 5 __________ enough, I can even get books that are almost new. 6 __________ I don’t have much pocket money, it’s great for me.”
Besides low prices, people can also find out-of-print (绝版的) books. The 45-year-old lady Wang Min buys many old classic (经典的) books. She says, “The first old book I buy is Journey to the West. I always 7 __________ reading this kind of small comic books. I happen to (碰巧) see them at a second-hand market. It is really a good surprise. After that I often go to second-hand markets to 8 __________ old books.”
Buying second-hand books can even get to know people. A student, Zhao Yue, finds a note in a second-hand book. “The book owner (主人) writes down something and hopes 9 __________ readers can enjoy the book. It is so great,” she says. “Now I’m doing the 10 __________ thing too.”
