阅读理解     The day I heard that Rainbow Bookstore was closing after 50 years of business, I was heartbroken. The bookstore, which was a landmark in the neighbourhood, was a place where anyone could drop in and read books.     When I hurried to the store, I saw that the books were already packed into boxes. I had a long chat with Casey, the store's elderly owner. Sighing deeply, he told me how it was becoming difficult to run his bookstore. Most young people preferred reading e-books on tablets and more customers were attracted by low price of online stores. I tried to think of some words to comfort him, but I knew Rainbow Bookstore couldn't stay in business much longer.     A few months later, I was back in the neighbourhood during my spring break and was surprised to see that the bookstore was still there and opened for business. Its old brick walls hadn't been decorated, but inside it was like a different world.     I was told that the community had decided to work together on a program to save Rainbow Bookstore. The program was led by Jennifer Oakley, a saleswoman who had grown up in the neighbourhood and who had now taken over the bookstore from Casey. Under Jennifer's leadership, the bookstore was being turned into a place for literature-loving members of the community to get together. It had a cafe selling food and there were now more community events such as book readings, poetry recitings and even jazz concerts and movie nights, where people could gather to share an experience that couldn't be downloaded online.     I also met old Casey, who was looking up at readers' comments that kept popping up on the screen. "I remember readers' comments used to appear on a big board here." I pointed at the comer. Casey smiled, "Well, as you can see, business knowledge combined with creativity has brought my old bookstore into the 21st century! I'm so pleased to see that everything I wanted to offer to the community is still here." （以下前4题是A种题型，后4题是B种题型） （1） Why did Rainbow Bookstore face closedown? A . Because it had a long history. B .
