When my bss started talking abut pensin arrangements (退休金安排), it suddenly dawned n me: I was ging t be stuck wrking in an ffice jb fr the next 40 years. I’d always dreamed f wrking utdrs but I ended up ding a law degree at the University f the West f England in Bristl, thinking that this wuld bring me a better jb.
After graduating, I became an adviser. I enjyed the wrk, but knew it wasn’t the right career fr me. At this pint, my 98-year-ld grandma died, leaving me enugh mney t pay fr an agricultural curse. I decided t study agriculture at the Ryal Agricultural Cllege in Cirencester.

In my ld jb, getting up early t g t the ffice was a struggle (挣扎). It’s easier n a farm, where yu knw there are animals that rely n yu. They’re living things, and if yu dn’t turn up smething serius might happen t them.

31. What is the authr’s advice t readers?

One thery is that kissing all began when cavemen began licking (舔) their neighburs’ faces fr the salt n them. But whatever it might have been fr, the fact remains that, in ne frm r anther, kissing has been widespread, thugh it develped mstly in the West.
Ancient Greek and Rman parents kissed their children, and lvers r married peple kissed each ther, as did friends. In the Middle Ages (the perid in Eurpean histry between abut 1100 and 1500 AD) knights (骑士) kissed befre ding battle (战斗). Early Christians were ften kissed t express respect.
Kissing is very much a cultural practice, and rules and attitudes vary acrss the glbe. The French, wh have had quite a lt f kissing practice, have turned kissing int a fine scial art, althugh these days, even they are nt sure when r hw t d it. Many French kiss ne anther three, r even mre, times. It can smetimes g n fr a lng time. Italians are enthusiastic kissers at all times, and they have been fr centuries.

Russian men t are ften seen greeting ne anther with kisses, and it is especially nticeable in the wrld f Russia, where the three-kiss greeting has becme a scial behavir. The British, thugh, remain shy abut scial kissing. The Japanese, alng with many Asian peples, cnsider kissing, at least in public, as a Western custm and smetimes even ffensive (冒犯的). Kissing has, hwever, becme mre cmmnplace in sme Asian cuntries in the past few years.
But kissing des seem t be n the increase. We kiss peple we used t hug, we hug peple we used t shake hands with, and we shake hands with thse we used t nd t.

Ireland is knwn fr many things — its rich histry, green hills, and St. Patrick’s Day. Celebrated n March 17 every year, the hliday is well knwn in the early-20th century as a religius day. Hwever, it is nw widely recgnized as a celebratin f Irish and Irish-American culture with fun traditins that include hunting (猎取) fr leprechauns, enjying beef, and wearing bright green clthing.
While St. Patrick’s Day is ne f Ireland’s hlidays, the clergyman (牧师), whse death day it marks, was frm the west cast f mdern-day England.
Thugh wearing green n St. Patrick’s Day is nw the traditin, it was nt the clr f chice frm the start. When the Order f St. Patrick was set up in the 1780s, the fllwers wre blue. Green was nly used nce it became assciated (与……有联系) with Irish natinalism in the 1790s and cnsidered as a gd representatin f the cuntry’s green hills.
While mst US cities hld a St. Patrick’s Day parade (庆祝游行), New Yrk City, which began the traditin in 1762, hsts the biggest ne. Thugh the Dublin, Ireland parade, which started in 1998, cannt match the impressive numbers, the city makes up fr it with a week-lng celebratin which attracts ver a millin peple. Fr the ninth year, ver 300 f the wrld’s landmarks will celebrate the ccasin by turning green n March 17.
N celebratin is cmplete withut enjying a traditinal dish r tw. Fr St. Patrick’s Day, that means enjying crned beef, cabbage, ptates, and carrts as much as ne likes. The traditin is believed t have cme frm early Irish immigrants (移民) t the United States, wh were nly able t affrd meat nce a week. As beef was the cheapest ne, it became the meat f chice. Hwever, dn’t expect t see the Irish in Ireland dining n the same fd! They ususally prefer bacn and lamb and wuld have mst likely eaten prk and ptates in the past.
1. What d we knw abut St. Patrick’s Day?

Fr all thse wh agree with Neil Gaiman’s mtt (座右铭) in American Gds that “a twn isn’t a twn withut a bkstre,” what might be the perfect hliday chice has just been listed n Airbnb: the chance t becme a bkseller fr a week r tw.
Fr the ttal cst f £150 a week, guests at The Open Bk in Wigtwn, Sctland’s natinal bk twn, will be expected t sell bks fr 40 hurs a week while living in the flat abve the shp. Given training in bkselling frm Wigtwn’s cmmunity f bksellers, they will als have the chance t put their “wn stamp” n the stre while they’re there. “The Open Bk’s aim is t celebrate bkshps, encurage educatin in running independent bkshps and welcme peple arund the wrld t Sctland’s natinal bk twn,” says the Airbnb listing.
The Open Bk is leased (出租) by the Wigtwn Bk Festival frm a lcal family. Organisers have been letting paying vlunteers run the shp fr a week r tw at a time, and pened the experience up t the wrld at large.
“I wuldn’t call it a wrking hliday,” said Adrian Turpin, directr f the Wigtwn Bk Festival. “It’s nt abut cheap labur (体力劳动) —
it’s abut ffering peple an experience.” The mney is “just necessary t cver ur csts,” said Turpin, admitting that “it can be a hard life, selling bks in a small twn, s it’s nt a hliday fr everybdy. ”
“I think the shp wuld have clsed, withut this,” he said. “S part f the idea was t get new peple in — peple wh wuld hpefully end up having a gd time and a lng-standing relatinship with the twn.”
The idea cmes at a difficult mment fr independent bksellers. In 2005, there were 1,535 independent bkshps in the UK, with the number drpping t 939 by 2014.
S far, The Open Bk has been leased arund 10 times, with guests including thse frm The Bkshp Band, a librarian frm Prtland, a Dutch gvernment emplyee, and an 80-year-ld cuple.
“It is playing shp in a way, but they are truly selling bks,” said Turpin. “Wigtwn has nly 800 peple, but it’s a real cmmunity f bkshp wners. The aim is that peple cme and take part in the cmmunity.”
5. What des Airbnb ffer?
A. Neil Gaiman’s bks.
B. Mtts f famus peple.
C. A chance t run a bkstre.
D. A hliday trip t small twns.
6. What can be learned abut The Open Bk?
A. It csts £150 every day.
B. It aims t develp bkstres.
C. It ffers a free flat fr custmers.
D. It requires bksellers with selling skills.
7. What’s Adrian Turpin’s pinin n the Wigtwn Bk Festival?
A. It’s an awful experience.
B. It shuld raise its charges.
C. It has saved the bkstre.
D. It’s a festival fr everyne.
8. What’s the present situatin f The Open Bk?
A. It faces a difficult time.
B. It attracts varius peple.
C. It has never been leased yet.
D. It has set up a cmmunity nearby.

Fr the ttal cst f £150 a week, guests at The Open Bk in Wigtwn, Sctland’s natinal bk twn, will be expected t sell bks fr 40 hurs a week while living in the flat abve the shp. Given training in bkselling frm Wigtwn’s cmmunity f bksellers, they will als have the chance t put their “wn stamp” n the stre while they’re there. “The Open Bk’s aim is t celebrate bkshps, encurage educatin in running independent bkshps and welcme peple arund the wrld t Sctland’s natinal bk twn,” says the Airbnb listing.
The Open Bk is leased (出租) by the Wigtwn Bk Festival frm a lcal family. Organisers have been letting paying vlunteers run the shp fr a week r tw at a time, and pened the experience up t the wrld at large.

The idea cmes at a difficult mment fr independent bksellers. In 2005, there were 1,535 independent bkshps in the UK, with the number drpping t 939 by 2014.
S far, The Open Bk has been leased arund 10 times, with guests including thse frm The Bkshp Band, a librarian frm Prtland, a Dutch gvernment emplyee, and an 80-year-ld cuple.
“It is playing shp in a way, but they are truly selling bks,” said Turpin. “Wigtwn has nly 800 peple, but it’s a real cmmunity f bkshp wners. The aim is that peple cme and take part in the cmmunity.”
