22、 Though the Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well-known as the Grand Canyon, it’s undoubtedly one of America’s most unique tourist attractions. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont, with the official U.S.-Canada borderline running right across the library’s floor.
Martha Stewart Haskell and her son, Colonel Horace Stewart Haskell, both Canadians, built the building as respect to Mrs. Haskell’s late husband, Carlos. The family hoped that citizens from both countries would use it as a “center for learning and cultural enrichment”, according to the official Haskell Free Library website.
The Haskell is divided between the two countries. While the library’s official entrance is on the U.S. side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side. The opera house is similarly split, with most of its seats in the U.S. and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the U.S. with no books, and the only opera house in the country with no stage.
Passports and other forms of identification aren’t required to cross from country to country in the library, though the Haskell’s website notes that the border inside the building “is real and it is enforced”. Visitors are expected to return to their side of the border after a visit. If they don’t, they risk possible detention and fines.
Even beyond the building’s unique position, library director Nancy Rumery told CTV News that Haskell staffers—Canadian and American alike—consider the institution to be like any other library in the world.
“We’re just trying to be the best library, and our community is made up of people from two different countries,” she said. “We don’t think of it in that big symbolic way that I think a lot of people do. These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey.”
【1】What can be learned about the Haskell Free Library?
A. It has a history of almost 100 years.
B. It runs across the U.S.-Canada border.
C. It can be compared to the Grand Canyon.
D. It is a well-known tourism site in Mexico.
【2】Why was the Haskell Free Library built?
A. To be in honor of Mrs. Haskell.
B. To donate books to the community.
C. To support the cultural needs of citizens.
D. To offer a relaxing environment for both countries.
【3】What is required if you are a visitor to the library?
A. A passport must be carried. B. Border laws must be respected.
C. An ID card must be checked. D. A personal photo must be taken.
【4】What can be inferred from Nancy Rumery’s words?
A. The library takes on a symbolic meaning.
B. She hopes to offer the best service to the visitors.
C. She expects the library to be something different from others.
D. The library strengthens the ties between the bordering countries.
23、 Looking at a pile of old photos, I couldn’t help feeling rather regretful.
I’ve never got into the habit of sorting out photos. However, it’s almost a habit of mine to have photos taken thoughtlessly. Thus, photos have been piling up in my childhood to womanhood. In spite of that, those black-and-white pictures taken in my early years are rarely kept, except a few survivals regarded as antiques. The bald baby picture of me that I treasured, the only one left, it’s now missing.
Familiar faces flash one by one before my eyes. Though the world is so small and we all live in it, yet we are separated by physical and psychological distances, some smaller, some larger. With the passage of time, one cannot, regretfully relive (重温) it with the same feeling as one had in the picture. What one can get from the old photos is but a bit of the past joy.
One takes pictures with different persons in different time and places. They fill one with nostalgia (怀旧) in various degrees — some more, some less, and others none. That’s why one has conflicting feelings towards the old photos. Still kept with the current ones, they’re even less favored than a daily-used cup, which is always close to the owner.
How these pieces of thought influence me! Photos keep our images rather than our sentiment, which may not remain. The image is always there but not its owner, whom the photo can’t keep, neither can it keep the event.
Of course, there are some of the photos still holding my affection, such as those taken with my family members, with favorite playmates, fellow girl-students and best friends, not only in pictures but also in my life and heart.
Now, since I have learned all this, I will not allow myself to be included casually in a photo taken with others. I’ll make sure that the friendship can last before I take a photo with somebody.
【1】Why did the writer have only a few black-and-white pictures?
A.She took fewer of them. B.She took photos thoughtlessly.
C.She didn’t take good care of them. D.She only liked the bald baby picture.
【2】What can we get from the old photos according to the writer?
A.All the past events. B.All the past excitement.
C.Some past happiness. D.The everlasting memory.
【3】What does the underlined word “sentiment” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Feeling. B.Thought. C.Look. D.Influence.
【4】What is the writer likely to do when asked to take photos with others?
A.To take the photo happily. B.To refuse the request politely.
C.To ignore the request casually. D.To think carefully before action.
24、It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the humdrum of housework and raising little ones. My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was art and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.
In the late 1950s, George arrived in Western Australia from Britain with his wife and two children. He wasn’t a tall man but was as neat as a pin, with a mouthful of large teeth and glasses that gave his blue eyes a Bambi-like appearance. George was a man who lived life to the full; he worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He loved his wife, his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken to the equal degree. A slim and vigorous man, George took pride in his fitness and health and walked three kilometres every day. “”I’d no more go without my walk than without brushing my teeth,” he’d say.
And as the only male in a painting class full of women, George was in his element. He loved his singular role and looked after his brood with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with passion and commitment, even turning the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive—an easel, quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives—even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a tool box-a red metal tool box-built to take hard knocks and purchased from a local hardware store.
For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometres of each other. Td sometimes see him on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we'd touch base with a ‘proper’ afternoon tea, sharing a cuppa and a chinwag.
