A
The Worlds'Best Bookshops
There's nothing like being surrounded by books, wherever you are. Here are the finest oases of literature that travellers can bring you. Daikanyama T-site︱Tokyo
It is well worth visiting even if just to admire the building's beautiful, criss-crossed architecture. Once you've had your fill of roaming three floors' worth of bookshelves, there's the bar, the coffee shop, or even the video rental space to give you more reason to stay just that little bit longer. Grab a book, order a beer and dive into its pages. I could have stayed hours here.
City Lights︱San Francisco
The three-storey establishment publishes and sells titles in poetry, fiction, translation, politics, history and the arts. It hosts events and readings, and runs a non-profit of the same name that aims to promote diversity of voices and ideas in literature. It's opposite Vesuvio, a bar frequented by Kerouac and other Beat-generation writers and artists. Shakespeare and Company︱Paris
I made a special trip to the Left Bank for this one when I was in Paris. It has two floors packed with English-language texts, and I was particularly struck by any spare wall space devoted to notes from visitors - heartfelt messages to a loved one, dedications to the shop itself, or a quote from a favourite author or philosopher.

Hutatma Chowk︱Mumbai
A few years ago I visited India, investigating Rudyard Kipling's connections with the country. I spotted a cheap copy of The Jungle Book on one of the tarp-covered book stalls at Hutatma Chowk (Martyrs' Square). The booksellers here are like amateur librarians, able to lay their hands on almost any title you ask for. To me, those well-thumbed(翻旧了的) books spoke volumes about the changes of Mumbai's readers in the 150 years since the city gave us Kipling. 21．In which bookshop can you buy a drink while visiting?
A．Daikanyama T-site B．City Lights C．Shakespeare and Company D．Hutatma Chowk 22．What can be learned about the book stalls at Hutatma Chowk?
A．People can meet Rudyard Kipling there. B．They sell the cheapest books in the world. C．The book owners are amateur librarians. D．The sellers are familiar with the books. 23．What do the four bookstores have in common?
A．They are beautifully designed. B．They are three-storey buildings. C．They offer book lovers good experience. D．They are frequently visited by great writers.

Howard Weistling wanted to be a comic strip (连环漫画) artist. But when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, he joined the Army.
After flight engineer training, Howard was shipped off to Europe. On his maiden flight, his plane was shot down over Austria. The entire crew of eight men landed safely. But a farmer found Howard hiding in his barn and turned him over to a prison of war camp in Barth, Germany. It was freezing and the men almost starved to death eating the guards' garbage.
Hungry and homesick Howard coped the only way he knew how. He drew a comic strip. The book, made of cigarette wrappers bound together with scrap metal, was sent around the camp. Every couple of days he would add a new panel. One panel at a time would be passed around the whole camp. And they'd have something to look forward to.
After an entire year of this, they woke one morning to find their guards gone. They fled and Howard finally got to go home. Just lucky to get out alive, he left the book behind.
Back home in California, Howard soon had a wife and kids to feed so he had to set aside his dream of becoming an artist. He took a job as a gardener instead.
Morgan shared his father's artistic gifts. At 15 his parents sent him to art school. And Howard got to see his son become a well-known painter before he died in 2002. That's how, seven decades after the war, when a stranger in New York googled the name“Weistling,”he found Morgan online.

\did when he was a POW (prisoner of war) in World War II,''' Morgan recalls. '''Would you like them?' And I just stared at that email and started crying.\
Luckily Howard had engraved his name on the comic book, which is how the man from New York City had connected with Morgan. A couple of days later when it arrived in California, Morgan couldn't believe it. \was like him being able to tell me the story over again － only this time it was real in my hands.\24．The passage details Howard's life as a POW to show that .

C
Your brain isn't necessarily the same age as the rest of you. Now, it may be possible to predict how quickly a person's brain will age throughout life based on tests taken when he or she is three years old.
A person's biological age may be a better indicator of their health than their real age. Brain age can be measured using brain scans and machine-learning to determine if a person's brain looks older or younger than the average healthy brain for people of the same age.
