Now people are turning to a simple(简约的) lifestyle. They 1 to buy second-hand things at a low price(低价). Buying second-hand things not only 2 less money, but also is good for the environment. 3 people are doing this these days.
A student says, “When I want to buy books, I'll first go to the second-hand markets(市场) or look through some second-hand shops on the internet. Such books are cheap(便宜的)—as much as 70% lower 4 new ones. If I'm 5 enough, I can even get books that are almost new. 6 I don't have much pocket money, it's great for me.”
Besides low prices, people can also find out-of-print(绝版的) books. The 45-year-old lady Wang Min buys many old classic(经典的) books. She says, “The first old book I buy is *Journey to the West*. I always 7 reading this kind of small comic books. I happen to(碰巧) see them at a second-hand market. It is really a good surprise. After that I often go to second-hand markets to 8 old books.”
