For people who love reading, there’s nothing better than the smell of an old book. But what makes old books smell the way they do The paper, ink and glue that are 1 to make books hold hundreds of chemical compounds(化合物). Lignin(木质素)is a compound found in the trees that paper is made from. As a book gets 2 , compounds like lignin start to break down, and they give off chemicals that we can smell.
But why do people like the smell so much Because they think the smell of old books is similar to the smell of chocolate. Scientists created an “old book smell” using fibers(纤维) 3 a 1928 French book. Seventy-nine people smelled the old book smell, 4 they weren’t told what it was. They were then asked to describe it. A large number of people said it smelled like chocolate. Others said it smelled like coffee. This shouldn’t be a 5 : coffee and chocolate also come from materials having lignin.
Lignin might give books their sweet smell, but it also makes the pages yellow, and books today use paper with less lignin. This might let 6 stay white longer, but won’t make the smell as sweet in the future.
Just ignore(忽视)what books are made from, let’s do as an old saying goes, “Book smell enriches the soul, reading enriches life”.

In ancient China, people called a man of great virtue(美德)a gentleman. In the world of plants, plum blossoms(梅), orchids(兰), bamboo and chrysanthemums(菊)are known as “the Four Gentlemen” in China because these plants’ natural characters have something in common with human virtues. As the common topics, Chinese artists use these plants to express good qualities in their paintings and poems.
Plum blossoms
The plum tree is famous for blossoming(开花)in the dead of winter. People can easily notice its fine smell which fills the air at the coldest winter. It stands for inner beauty and humble display(谦逊表现)under hard conditions. According to historical records, plum blossoms appeared on paintings 1600 years ago. Painting plum blossoms was popular in the Northern Song dynasty.
Orchids
Grown in deep mountain valleys, orchid is one of the top ten well-known flowers in China. With the smell refreshing people’s minds and the elegant figures swinging slightly in the wind, orchid means elegance in Chinese people’s eyes. The greatest orchid painter was Zheng Banqiao in Qing Dynasty who thought highly of the nature of orchids. He loved painting wild orchids and planted orchids by himself.
Bamboo
In traditional Chinese culture, bamboo stands for tolerance and open-mindedness. Silently grown in mountains, bamboo is very thin with the inner empty. Its strong power was admired by many ancient poets and painters. Our famous poet Sushi once wrote down “Rather eat without meat than live without bamboo” in his poem to express his deep love for bamboo.
Chrysanthemums
Planted as early as three thousand years ago, Chrysanthemum is a traditional flower loved by Chinese people. When nearly all the flowers fall in late autumn, only the chrysanthemums stand in the cold autumn days with bright colors. The most well-known poem about chrysanthemums is “Plucking chrysanthemums under the eastern hedge, I calmly view the southern hills”, which comes from the famous poet Tao Yuanming’s poem “Drinking”, showing Tao’s happy and quiet life.
