They show changes in shopping (from open-air markets to supermarket shopping), housing (traditional courtyard vs modern apartment buildings), transportation (old-fashioned trains to high-speed railways), and communication (physical letters to digital emails). 2. What else can you think of that has changed in recent decades? Education: More online courses instead of only in-person classes. Entertainment: From TV-centered to streaming services like Netflix. Payment: Cash-based to mobile payments (e.g., Alipay, WeChat Pay). 3. Imagine you could travel 40 years back in time. What would you want to experience? Why? I’d want to experience shopping in traditional markets. It must have been more personal, with direct talks between sellers and buyers, and a slower, more community-like atmosphere, which is quite different from today’s fast-paced, digital shopping. Or experience using physical letters to communicate, feeling the anticipation of waiting for replies, a charm lost in instant messaging now. A new chapter Lead in 02 Lead in Where can we buy books?

Post-reading 1 Do the author’s childhood memories make the passage more interesting? Why or why not? 2 What do you think of the changes made to the bookstore? Yes. The childhood memories (e.g., chatting with Old Casey, reading in the store) add emotional depth and relatable stories. They help readers connect with the bookstore’s history and feel the loss and joy more vividly. The changes are positive and creative. Turning it into a community hub with events (book readings, jazz concerts) and a café adapts to modern needs while keeping the love of books. It balances tradition and innovation. 西安方所书店：“传统文化 + 文创空间”模式； 成都言几又：“书店 + 咖啡 + 艺术展览”复合业态 3 What changes do you think will happen to the bookstores around you? 4 How does the diagram help you to better understand the passage? Local bookstores might also focus on “experiential” offerings: more community events, digital-physical blends (e.g., online orders with in-store pickups), or themed spaces. They’ll need to compete with online stores by creating unique, in-person experiences. The Venn diagram (Old vs. New Bookstore) clearly shows similarities (still sells books) and differences (ownership, new activities). It simplifies the transformation, making it easy to compare how the bookstore changed while keeping its core purpose.
