Today you can【C2】______ into the wee hours every day except Sunday. In most German states shophours are, or about to be, fully【C3】______ . That should lay to rest the【C4】______ that Germany is anti-consumer. But it also【C5】______ a change in attitudes to time.

B、many
C、some
D、little

few other countries have so many home-improvement stores.德国人花费大量时间自己干家务,不计报酬,包揽下装修、园艺、洗刷等各类杂活,故没有几个国家拥有像德国那样多的出售住房修缮工具的商店。
