Like many lovers of books， Mary and her husband， Richard Goldman， seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.

When Mary was in hospital with heart trouble in 1989， they decided it was time to get serious. Richard， who worked for a business company， expected to work for himself， and Mary needed to slow down from her job.

They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching the industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty （专业）

store because we couldn’t afford enough money，” said Mary. One idea came to her： She’d read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries， and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery readers.

On Halloween 1992， they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three children in college， the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To pay the $100，000 cost， they drew some of their savings and borrowed from friends and from a bank.

The store nearly broke even in its first year， with only $120，000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract buyers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and provided dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited some writers to discuss their stories.

Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420，000 a year. After paying taxes， business costs and the six part-time sales workers， Richard and Mary together earn about $34，000.

“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income （收入），” said Richard. “This has always been about a pleasant life for ourselves， not about making a lot of money.”

1.What did the couple realize when Mary was in hospital？

A. Health was more important than money.

2.After Mary got well from her illness， she and Richard began to .

A. study how to open a shop

B. buy and read more mystery books

C. do market research on book business

D.work harder to save money for the bookstore

3.How did the couple do about their bookstore in the first year？

A.They had to borrow money to keep it going.

B.They made just enough to pay all the costs.

C. They succeeded in making a lot of money.

D. They failed though they worked hard.

4.What is the main purpose of opening the bookstore according to Richard？

A. To pay for their children’s education.

B. To get to know more writers.

C. To set up more bookstores.

D. To do what they like to do.
