The current French bestseller lists are wonderfully eclectique. In 1 , there is everything 2 blockbuster thrillers to Catherine Millet\'s "La vie sexuelle de Catherine M.", a novel which has been 3 praised as high art and 4 as upmarket porn. Then there are novels 5 the sticky questions of good and 6 ("Le demon et mademoiselle Prym") and faith versus science in the modern world ("L\'apparition"). Philosophical 7 continue in the non-fiction list, 8 this week by Michel Onfray\'s "Antimanuel de philosophie", a witty take 9 some of philosophy\'s perennial debates. Those who like their big issues in small chunks are also enjoying Frederic Beigbeder\'s "Dernier inventaire ant liquidation", a survey of France\'s 10 20th-century books, 11 with Mr Beigbeder\'s 12 humour from the title on ("The 50 books of the century chosen by you and critiqued by me").
In Britain, meanwhile, there is olive oil all over the non- fiction list. It\'s a staple 13 for Nigella Lawson, a domestic divinity and celebrity 14 , whose latest 15 of recipes tops the list. Annie Hawes, in second 16 , took herself 17 to the sun- drenched hills of Italy to grow her own olives and write a book about them-as did Carol Drinkwater, just 18 the border in France. Fiction-wise, it\'s business as 19 , with the requisite holiday mix of thrillers, romance, fantasy-and Harry Potter, with "The Goblet of Fire" still burning 20 at number three.

Text 1
"MAKING money is a dirty game," says the Institute of Economic Affairs, summing up the attitude of British novelists towards business. The IEA, a free market think-tank, has just published a collection of essays ("The Representation of Business in English Literature") by five academics chronicling the hostility of the country\'s men and women of letters to the sordid business of making money. The implication is that Britain\'s economic performance is retarded by an anti-industrial culture.
Rather than blaming recalcitrant workers and inpetent managers for Britain\'s economic worries, then, we can put Gee Orwell and Martin Amis in the dock instead. From Dickens\'s Scrooge to Amis’s John Self in his 1980s novel "Money", novelists he conjured up a rogue\'s gallery of mean, greedy, amoral money-men that has alienated their impressionable readers from the noble pursuit of capitalism.
The argument has been well made before, most famously in 1981 by Martin Wiener, an American academic, in his "English Culture and the Decline of the Industrial Spirit". Lady Thatcher was a devotee of Mr. Wiener\'s, and she led a crusade to revive the "entrepreneurial culture" which the liberal elite had allegedly trampled underfoot. The present Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, sounds as though he agrees with her. At a recent speech to the Confederation of British Industry, he declared that it should be the duty of every teacher in the country to "municate the virtues of business and enterprise".
Certainly, most novelists are hostile to capitalism, but this refrain risks scapegoating writers for failings for which they are not to blame. Britain\'s culture is no more anti-business than that of other countries. The Romantic Movement, which started as a reaction against the industrial revolution of the century, was born and flourished in Germany, but has not stopped the Germans from being Europe\'s most successful entrepreneurs and industrialists.
Even the Americans are guilty of blackening business\'s name. SMERSH and SPECTRE went out with the cold war. James Bond now takes on international media magnates rather than Rosa Kleb. His films such as "Erin Brockovich" he pitched downtrodden, moral heroes against the evil of faceless corporatism. Yet none of this seems to he dented America\'s lust for free enterprise.
The irony is that the novel flourished as an art form only after, and as a result of, the creation of the new mercial classes of Victorian England, just as the modern Hollywood film can exist only in an era of mass consumerism. Perhaps the moral is that capitalist societies consume literature and film to let off steam rather than to change the world.

24. American academic Martin Wiener’s argument
A. sides with the liberal elite
B. is neutral about the virtue of business and enterprise
C. inclines towards the revival of the entrepreneurial culture
D. is hostile to the industrial spirit
25. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. the novel existed after the creation of the new mercial classes
B. capital doesn’t pollute social morality
C. capitalist societies change the world
D. the modern holy world has nothing to do with consumers
Text 2
JOSEPH RYKWERT entered his field when post-war modernist architecture was ing under fire for its alienating embodiment of outmoded social ideals. Think of the UN building in New York, the city of Brasilia, the UNESCO building in Paris, the blocks of housing "projects" throughout the world. These tall, uniform boxes are set back from the street, isolated by windswept plazas. They look inward to their own functions, presenting no "face" to the inhabitants of the city, no "place" for social interaction. For Mr. Rykwert, who rejects the functionalist spirit of the Athens Charter of 1933, a manifesto for much post-war building, such facelessness destroys the human meaning of the city. Architectural form should not rigidly follow function, but ought to reflect the needs of the social body it represents.
Like other forms of representation, architecture is the embodiment of the decisions that go into its making, not the result of impersonal forces, market or historical. Therefore, says Mr. Rykwert, adapting Joseph de Maistre\'s dictum that a nation has the government it deserves, our cities he the faces they deserve,
In this book, Mr. Rykwert, a noted urban historian of anthropological bent, offers a flaneur\'s approach to the city\'s exterior surface rather than an urban history from the conceptual inside out. He does not drive, so his interaction with the city affords him a warts-and-all view with a sensual grasp of what it is to be a "place".
