China covers large areas and has a great population. Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.

People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.

However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount (數(shù)量) of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.

The difference could be due to the different weather.

Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.

2.If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _______.

4.The underlined words "due to" mean "_________" in Chinese.

C. 然而

D. 因?yàn)?/p>

5.Which is the best title for the passage?

Not all people can afford to buy expensive books. There are Sending libraries where people, old and young, can borrow books if they are members. The largest library in Singapore is the National Library at Stamford Road. More than thousands of books can be found. Most of them are English books although there are also some Chinese and Malay readers.

You can borrow books from the library if you are a member. To be a member you have to pay a certain fee. After you have paid the fee, you are given a card and you can use this card to borrow books for three weeks at a time.

Students do not need to pay membership fee. All they need is a letter from their school principals and they can become members of the library. For those who live far away there are extension (擴(kuò)大) libraries at Toa Payoh, Queenstown and other places which also have books for readers to borrow.
