READING

8 Read the texts about three unusual shops. Match the shops (A–C) to the
sentences (1–5). Some of the shops match with more than one sentence.

A BARTER BOOKS

Barter Books in the north of England may not be famous but one of their
discoveries is. The book shop is situated in an old railway station in the town of
Alnwick. Many of the original features of the station still exist. There are open
fires during the winter and the station buffet still offers tasty snacks and a chance
to rest aching feet. In 2001, the owners of the shop bought a box of old books
and found a forgotten poster from the Second World War inside. They put it up in
the shop and the people who came in were so interested that the shop started
selling copies of it. Other companies soon did the same. The poster was red
with a picture of a crown at the top. Underneath were five words: Keep calm and
carry on.

B CYBERCANDY

There are currently six Cybercandy stores, four of which are in London. They
are sweet shops but with a difference. They import sweets from all over the
world. These are not just famous brands but little known, hard to find sweets and
drinks as well. They also have an online store which makes it easy to find exactly
what you want. The products are listed by type of sweet, by country of origin and
even by colour. Very useful if you only want blue sweets. One category you may
not be so keen on is real insect candy but, whatever your likes, you’re sure to
find something delicious at Cybercandy.

C RAG TRADE BOUTIQUE

The Rag Trade Boutique in Bristol understands its customers well. According to
surveys, women regularly wear only about 10 percent of the clothes in their
wardrobes. However, they also like to buy more clothes. That’s why, at the Rag

Trade Boutique, you can take in any designer clothes you don’t want and,
when the shop sells them, you get up to 50 percent of the money, depending on
whether you choose cash or the chance to buy something else in this wonderful
shop. Only clothes in good condition are accepted and it’s a great place to find
bargains. The longer the clothes stay in the shop, the more the prices are
reduced but, don’t delay, anything unsold after seven weeks is given away to
charity.

2 There is more than one way to search for what you
are looking for.
3 You can pay less for the products if you wait.
