 During lunchtime in Shenzhen, workers often line up to buy food from street vendors(小贩). But in the past, they weren't allowed to set up their stalls(摊位) anywhere on the streets in China. The stalls were believed to be bad for the image of a city." We have to keep the streets clean and tidy," the city government of Beijing once said.

 Things, though, began to change in recent months. In March, Shanghai and Hangzhou worked out detailed plans for stall businesses. And now Shenzhen is also preparing to welcome back street vendors. On April 28, it announced new guidelines on the management of street vending. Under the rules, street vendors will be allowed to operate in certain areas within the city. The new rules worked out on September 1,2023.

 Most people are glad to see vendors getting back on the streets."I think it's good and convenient," said one user on Weibo." Vendors can make money, while customers will have more choice."

 Street vending has long been considered as a lowly job in China. But in 2020, former Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that street vendors were the" lifeblood" of the country. Since then, many Chinese young people have seen the business as a way to get away from the stress of traditional work culture. Some of them can now be seen setting up stalls on weekends in Shanghai.

 阅读下列短文,根据题目要求,从各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项,。

When Chandra went into Books ‘n' More, she noticed that there was no one else in the bookstore. The last four or five times she had stopped in here, she had also been the only customer. 

That night, Chandra told her family about the situation at the bookstore. Her brother Pete said, "The bookstore needs more people. How about starting a book club? People could meet in the store to discuss a book they've all read. If they buy it at the store, they'll receive a discount. "

"That's great!" Chandra said excitedly. "How about having some writers come and do a book signing? I even have an idea for the first writer. Mr. Fletcher, my math teacher, writes children's books. I'm sure he would be willing to help. I could put up fliers about the event at my school. "

The next day, Chandra shared her thoughts with Mrs. Lee, the bookstore owner. Mrs. Lee seemed unsure at first, but by the time Chandra finished, she was smiling. "I'll try your ideas, but I need some help. Someone will have to lead the book club discussions. Also, I'll need help advertising these events because I've never been good at such things. "

Chandra promised that she would help. She asked Mr. Fletcher if he would read and sign some of his books at Books ‘n' More, and he happily agreed. A date was chosen, and Chandra threw herself into the preparations. She personally invited all her friends, the other teachers, and even the school headmaster. 

Finally, everything was ready for the big night. Mrs. Lee opened the event. "Before I introduce tonight's writer, I must thank a young lady named Chandra Phillips. This exciting evening was mostly managed by her. If she were a little older, I would have her as my advertising director, " said Mrs. Lee. The crowd laughed and clapped. As Mr. Fletcher began to read from his latest book, Mrs. Lee took a seat next to Chandra. 

"Could I really work here someday?" Chandra asked. Mrs. Lee nodded with a smile. Chandra tried to listen to Mr. Fletcher, but her mind swam with even more ways to help Books ‘n' More be successful. After all, she had to protect her future job!
