阅读理解 In recent years, China's second-hand economy has been growing steadily. One second-hand book platform by the name of Duozhuayu, meaning catching more fish, has gained a lot of followers in just a few years. Here at the book store in Beijing, bookworms are filling up the space for books still in good condition and also at reduced prices. The company operates with a model of buying, repairing, sterilizing (消毒) and selling used books. Their service has caused more young Chinese to cast away old thinking of refusing used things and to explore the value of used things. "For second-hand items, people used to think they are of low quality. But the kind of second-hand items that truly circulates(传播) well is of high-quality. Books belong to that category. Here we believe that truly valuable items are worth buying twice," Chen Tuo, co-founder of the company said. The company hopes for a win-win situation in the market, where buyers could deal with used books more conveniently and buyers could buy them cheaply. The sharing of books also means more choices for readers than those offered by regular bookstores. According to Chen Tuo, the bookstore also has a feature online that allows customers to put a particular book on demand, and the system will inform you if it becomes available. The store relies heavily on data that keep records of books being accepted or refused. "From sales data in the past year, we've observed that books about psychology, finance and self management were among the most popular while books related to tourism didn't sell that well. These data really help us make better decisions," Chen said. In a society where traditional books face competition from e-books, the bookstore hopes to popularize physical books, and to improve customer experience. Now with two offline stores in Beijing and Shanghai, the bookstore is adding more second-hand items to their lists, including kindles and clothing. The company says recycling is not just for economy, but for a lifestyle worth trying. (1) What can we learn about Duozhuayu in paragraph 1? A . It sells fish products. B .
