• 2．In 2018，Sam Taylor came across a note in the window of an empty shop，asking locals what they would like to see in the space.Taylor found an envelope，wrote that he would open a bookshop and slid it through the door.He received a call soon after.After careful consideration，Taylor and his wife Jessica Paul drew up a business plan and opened their bookshop. "The community supported the bookshop that was here before，so we knew that it could work，" said Taylor.
     Given that prices are lower online，are people turning back to independent bookshops？ "Having had a bookstore here and lost it，the locals really know the importance of an independent bookshop and what it brings to the community.I think it makes people stop and think：'Actually I'm going to support my local shop and this will improve our community as a whole，'" said Jessica.
     "The threat of e-books and e-readers exists，but bookshop owners don't necessarily consider them direct competition.We want people to know that bookshops aren't highbrow （學(xué)術(shù)性的） places to visit.There's just no comparison to holding and smelling a book.Books are collectable things to have and keep， " said Emily Ross，another bookstore owner.
     Since 1995 the number of independent bookstores has dropped sharply due to the rise of e-books and e-readers.However，the sales of e-readers and e-books have slowed many years later，with the latter dropping by 17 percent in 2016 alone.Since 2016，independent bookstores have been popular.It is possible that people decide that they've already spent long enough staring at screens and then have no interest in doing anything else in front of a screen.By contrast，there was a 31 percent increase in the sales of hardback books （精裝書）in 2017.
  
  （1）4.What most probably drove Taylor to open a bookshop？

  
  A．His wife's dream to own a bookshop.
  B．His wish to continue the tradition of the UK.
  C．His recognition of the locals' love for a bookshop.
  D．His wish to develop young people's interest in reading.
  （2）What did Emily Ross think of e-books and e-readers？

  
  A．They should not exist.
  B．They present no competition.
  C．They don't provide something highbrow.
  D．They won't replace independent bookstores.
  （3）Why did e-readers and e-books face fallen sales in 2016？

  
  A．They resulted in poor memory.
  B．Some of them were of poor quality.
  C．They offered fewer services than bookshops.
  D．Much screen time might cause people's tiredness.
  （4）What is the text mainly about？

  
  A．The number of the UK's independent bookstores rises again.
  B．The UK's independent bookshops are facing serious threat.
  C．E-books and e-readers face more competition now.
