Passage 1
Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage.
When you think of Brooklyn as a hot travel destination,what comes to mind?Fancy hotels and comfortable restaurants?Some visitors may go to the Brooklyn Museum of Art or Prospect Park.But a bookstore?
It may seem unlikely.but this winter a humble bookstore named Books Are Magic is set to become one of Brooklyn's newest attractions.It is perfectly situated to become a destination for anyone looking to tap into the local literary mystique(神秘).
"I certainly know that's how I like to travel-by visiting bookstores,"says novelist Emma Straub,who is running Books Are Magic with the help of her husband Michael Straub and investors,Eddie and Martine Joyce.“If you're in Nashville and you don't go to see Pamassus ,you're a crazy person.Or if you're in Los Angeles and you don't go to Skylight and Book Soup.Seattle and Elliott Bay Bookstore."
On a recent visit to Portland,Oregon,Emma,who has two young sons,went to iconic bookstore Powell's Books every day of her trip.She bought books every single day she was there.While she hopes that Books Are Magic will similarly appear on tourists'itineraries(旅行路线),the store is more of a“hyper-local'"enterprise.“It's entirely for our own sake,"she says."We live in the neighborhood and when the local bookseller BookCourt closed at the end of 2016,we needed a bookstore to walk to -and we knew everyone else here did,too."
The Books Are Magic team plans to stand up for local writers,too.“We want to celebrate the fact that we have a lot of homegrown talent,"says Emma,who says this extends to the lesser-known talents in the area as well as the big names.
“We are going to have a little sign up by the register that says,'Are you a local Brooklyn author?Please identify yourself so that we can make sure to carry your book.'I know what Martin Amis looks like,and he lives nearby,sowe''ll get his books,"she says.“But there are a lot of other people who I may not recognize.We don't want a writer who lives around the cormer to come in and feel sad because they're not on the shelf."
The Books Are Magic team is also taking a decidedly modern approach to the launch-covering their progress on social media and building a community of fans on their website.
Which of the following can be found in Seattle?
A  
Skylight and Book Soup.
B  
Elliott Bay Bookstore.
C  
Powell's Books.
D
