21、The new TV series Joy of Life is a hit, scoring 8/10 among the most critical reviewers of Douban, a Chinese social networking service website. The series premiered(首映)on Tencent Video and iQiyi(online video platforms)on November 26,2019.

But how would you feel if Tencent Video and iQiyi allowed anyone to pay an extra fee to see a show’s upcoming episodes(集)ahead of schedule? The two of China’s biggest video streaming platforms decided to allow users to pay an extra fee on top of their subscription(订阅)to get advanced access to episodes of Qing Yu Nian(Joy of Life). Monthly subscriptions for Tencent Video cost 15 yuan(US$ 2.14)and iQiyi charges 19 yuan(US$ 2.71). Under the new policy, users could pay 50 yuan(US$ 7.14)to always stay six episodes ahead in Qing Yu Nian. Alternatively, watching a single episode in advance costs 3 yuan(US$ 0.43).

Users are mad about Tencent Video’s and iQiyi’s extra fees on top of subscriptions. On Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, tags related to the two platforms’ pricing policies repeatedly recurred on trending searches, where many people were found complaining about the platforms being greedy and called for the audience to boycott the policy.

The policy also drew criticism from People’s Daily. The state-owned newspaper said the platforms “have bad table manners” and “drain the pond to fish and burn the woods to hunt,” which are Chinese idioms used to describe someone focusing on quick profits as opposed to long-term interests. People’s Daily also said the sites look down upon on users’ rights. ” Two lawyers apparently agreed. The lawyers, who claim to be users of Tencent Video and iQiyi, started two separate cases, saying that they violated users’ rights.

But some experts don’t think the new pricing rules are unreasonable. Zhu Wei, a professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, argued in an article that charging outside subscriptions are value-added services and don’t violate the law. But Zhu added that the platforms are at fault for not properly informing users about the policy in advance.

In the face of extreme competition and perhaps an ambitious business model, China’s streaming giants are hoping that additional charges could turn their luck around. But judging by the pushback on social media, it may not be so easy. It’s hoped that the next stage of this streaming war is a little more friendly.

24、65-year-old Somerset native Carole-Ann Warburton experienced a plot twist that led to the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream she’d never even spoken of aloud.

After a life-threatening illness weakened her, Warburton was left with the question of what to do forward. During her recovery, her daughter brought around some real estate (房地产) listings for the sort of homes in which she thought her mother might best spend her golden years. Coincidentally, among the notices was an offering for a small barbershop with an above-stairs apartment.

For Warburton, although she admits “the place was awful”, it was love at first sight and the perfect opportunity to do something she’d yearned to do for almost as long as she could remember—running a bookshop.

Less than three months after coming to her decision, Warburton had handed in her retirement notice, sold her house and bought the store, and using a personal collection totaling between 8,000 and 9,000 titles she began her new life chapter—The Book Rest.

Warburton has been an avid (狂热的) book collector since she was a child. As an adult, she married a man with a similar hobby. The four-bedroom home she and her ex-husband shared with their children was filled with books.

Warburton admits learning to let go of her beloved books was a bit of an adjustment, but one she feels better for making. “It still feels, when a special book goes out, like a bit of a loss—as if some little part of me has been taken away,” she said in an interview. “And then I make common sense come back to me and say, ‘Let someone else learn from it.’ It’s acceptance.”

The Book Rest recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. Although the pandemic has slowed foot traffic, since Warburton’s driving motive isn’t monetary profit, but rather, something of a deep personal value, she has no plan to close up the bookstore.

【1】What was the turning point in Warburton’s life?

A．Being forced to retire earlier.

B．Starting to work for a barber.

C．Suffering from a serious illness.

D．Buying a house for her daughter.

【2】What does the underlined word “yearned” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Volunteered.

B．Managed.

C．Declined.

D．Desired.

【3】Paragraph 5 is mainly intended to show ________.

A．how Warburton got a large collection of books

B．why Warburton had a love for collecting books

C．how Warburton got on with her family members

D．why Warburton was willing to let go of books

【4】What does The Book Rest mean to Warburton?

A．A path leading to a large fortune.

B．A way to realize her personal value.

C．A reminder of kindness in hard times.

D．A temporary inspiration for dreamers.
