The problem was solved when she started to sell the used books on an online second-hand bookstore Deja Vu. “By selling them, most of my books which used to gather dust in the corner can come to life again. ” she said. According to a sur

30、vey by giant Alibaba in 2018, the market for the second-hand book was booming last year as more Chinese tend to trade or exchange their used books online. The rise of online second-hand book platforms and sharing ideas also contributed to the booming book recycling. Users are able to sell their book

I had a good time there. One morning, I ran to the garden, and said to the old Scotsman who worked there.

37、 “Today I am going up the mountain for berries. ”“No, no, Missey, not today. ” he said , “It will rain. ”“No, it will not rain. ” I said, “The sun is up. The cook says it will be fine. The glass in the hall does not say rain. ”“Tuts, tuts. ” said the old man, “I care for no suns, or cooks, or glasse

38、s. The pimpernel (海绿) says it will rain, and so it will rain. Flowers, Missey, always tell the truth. When they say rain, go and get your umbrella.”Sure enough, by noon the rain was pouring down. After that, I looked with great respect at the tiny flower, sometimes brickred, sometimes blue, which co

39、uld tell about the weather. But the pimpernel is not the only plant that is a weather prophet. If you go into the garden, and find the African marigolds shut after seven oclock in the morning, you may be pretty sure that there will be a rainy day. There is a little single marigold which shuts up in

40、a hurry if the sky becomes clouded. It is called the “rainy-marigold”. Most plants which we call “weather prophets” shut up for rain. But some plants open for rain. The cause of the opening and closing is probably the difference in light. Most likely these plants shut their flowers because there is

41、too little light. But you know there are some plants which become smaller in a strong light and love the shade. You will find that most shade-loving plants, as the verbenas, do not close for rain. Lilies, tulips and other flowers that love the sun shut for rain. Tulips are careful not to open their

42、cups very wide in the morning if it is likely to rain. The roses make no change. They seem not to fear wet. On the whole, you may be pretty sure, if you go into your garden, and find many flowers-as tulips, marigolds and morning glories-shut, it will be a stormy day, unfit for picnics or long walks.

46、the relationship between some flowers and weatherDWe never forget when Perronet came to us. It was on a spring afternoon. We never knew who drowned Perronet, but David pulled him out of the water and saved his life, People sometimes asked us what kind of dog he was, but we never knew, except that he

47、 was the nicest possible kind. Mother said we could not afford him because of the tax(税) and his keep. The tax was five shillings（先令）， but it was nearly a year before the time when it must be paid. At last, we decided that all three of us would give up sugar toward saving the cost of his keep. It was the hardest for David because he was fond of sweet things, but then, he was fond of Perronet.
