There aren’t many bookshops where you
need a map to find your way around, but it’s
easy to get lost in Powell’s City of Books, the
world’s largest independent bookstore, which
is located in Portland, Oregon. Powell’s main
bookshop on Burnside is a vast Aladdin’s cave
of books in every shape, size and format. More
than one million volumes line the shelves of the
different co lored ro oms, each o f w h ich
corresponds to different themes. And, if you
include the five warehouses and five other
store locations around the city, then Powell’s
has over four million books.
The responsibility for all this will soon pass
to 27-year-old Emily Powell, whose father,
Michael, currently runs the business. Back in
1979, Michael Powell left his Chicago bookstore
to join his father, Walter, in Portland and then
bought the store from him two years later.
Emily is “Director of Used Books.” Powell’s
places new and used books, hardback and paper
back, next to each other on the same shelf.

TEXTO II
01.
For presidents and celebrities as well as
02. ordinary people, cracking jokes can be risky
03. business today, provoking anger and resentment
04. instead of laughter. The problem is that humor,
05. like beauty,often is in the eye of the beholder.
Consider a jest by President Clinton. At a
06.
07. trade fair on the White House lawn, Clinton and
08. his Cabinet came upon a three-foot-high
09. replica of the White House. With the 4- foot10. 10 inch secretary of labor, Robert Reich, at his
11. side, Clinton quipped, “Secretary Reich could
12. almost live in there.” Lighthearted ribbing
13. between longtime pals? Or a remark offensive
14. to those sensitive about their height? Experts
15. who train people to use humor in business and
16. social relationships say it can be an invaluable
17. tool – but it must be used with sensitivity. Of
18. co urse , th e li ne be tw e e n laugh i ng w i th
19. someone and laughing at someone isn’t always
20. so clear. So in today’s litigious and sensitive
21. society should we all take the safest course and
22. avoid any attempts at humor? That would make
23. for a dull world, experts said. The wrong kind
24. of humor, though, can be destructive. Jokes
25. that attack often cause people to withdraw, or
26. worse, seek revenge.
Supervisors need to be especially careful.
27.
28. Because of the power they hold, their attempts
29. at humor demean an employee. Of course, some
30. people just can’t take a joke. So what can you
31. do?” On the politically correct front, there are
