26、 The Haskell Free Library and Opera House might not be as well known as the Grand Canyon or the Statue of Liberty. 【1】. Completed in 1904, the building is stationed directly between Stanstead, Quebec, and Derby Line, Vermont. with the official US -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 a tribute(悼念) to Mrs Haskell's late husband, Carlos.【2】.
While the library’s official entrance is on the US side of the building, most of the books are on the Canadian side.【3】. The Opera House is similarly split, with most of its seats in the US and its stage in Canada. As Atlas Obscura reported, it is often said that the Haskell is the only library in the US 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”. 【4】. 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 we can.【5】.” she said. “These are all our neighbors and we do our very best to help them on their life-long learning journey. ”
A.The Haskell is full of mysterious places.
B.The Haskell is divided between the two countries.
C.Visitors have access to a variety of cultural resources.
D.Visitors are expected to their side of the border after a visit.

27、 Istman Simon’s factory in western Hungary produces more than one million plastic parts every day. But on a busy morning in one of its large production areas, there is only the sound of machines.Workers have all but disappeared.
“We can see human workers being replaced with AI machines. It has already led to job losses,” said Zoltan Laszlo, a Hungarian workers’ leader.
Hungary’s economy grew nearly 5 percent last year. Yet the industry lost nearly 23,000 jobs, ending six straight years of employment growth. In the Czech Republic, employment numbers showed a year-on-year loss of almost a thousand jobs between July and September of last year. This suggests employment could have decreased for the first time since 2013 over the full year in Eastern Europe.
“Workers are becoming more expensive. This is the necessary way to get returns,” said Peter Simon, a manager of Simon Plastics, which is hoping to expand production. But pressured (挤压) by increasing human costs and falling product prices, the plastic industry spent over $3 billion on AI machines last year, he added.
“Employment numbers are one sign that Eastern Europe’s industry may be at a turning point,” said David Marek, an economist with Deloitte. “The average (平均的) yearly increase in human costs in the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary is around 10 percent. That is far higher than in many western countries. Factory owners find themselves with little choice but to buy machinery if they want to remain competitive.”
Josef Stredula is the head of the Czech-Moravian Trade Unions. He notes that up to 10 percent of jobs could disappear in the next five years.
“Big changes are awaiting us,” Stredula said. He added that although AI machines might free people from heavy or boring physical work, it was important to ease the change, for example, by retraining affected workers. “We have to do everything to make the future easier for everyone,” he said.
【1】What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?

B.Simon Plastics’ products are very competitive.
C.The workers are too expensive in western Hungary.
D.The plastic industry has to use more AI machines.
【3】What is Josef Stredula’s main attitude to the AI machines?
A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. C.Concerned. D.Unsupportive.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.AI Machines Are Pushing Workers Out of Their Jobs in Eastern Europe
B.Rising Workers’ Payments Lead to Big Job Losses in Eastern Europe
C.Eastern European Factories Have Found Ways to Cut Production Costs
D.Eastern European Workers Are Freed From Heavy and Boring Works
28、 The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old daughter, I couldn't wait to get her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She'd been born around the same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child's language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left. Walking slowly toward the school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.
"You should have seen her today!" His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn't interrupt. "See that climber." He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. "Well, every day since she started school, she's tried and failed to make it to the top." He took a breath. "And today she did it!”
He expressed his joy just as he'd witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! "She cheered and celebrated! I wish I'd recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.
As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn't before. I saw her perseverance（毅力）, I saw her strength. I saw a hero.

29、 The International Day of Disabled Persons, an international celebration declared by the United Nations since 1992, is observed on December 3, aiming to promote an understanding of disability issues and get support for the rights of people with disabilities. The day takes place annually and focuses on a different issue each year. In South Africa, December 3 also marks the beginning of the Disability Awareness Month.
Since the first celebration, people with disabilities have gained recognition of their rights by States across the globe and of their rightful place in society. But there is still much work ahead of us to turn those legal rights into a true revolution, in which diversity is fully accepted and lived.
The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many obstructions of inclusion in many key aspects of society. As a result, people with disabilities can’t enjoy the equal rights as normal people, which include employment, education as well as social and political participation. The right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracies, active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society.
In many cases, people with disabilities must be able to fulfill their role in society. It is important to focus on the ability and not on the disability of an individual. It is important to note that disability is part of the human condition, and that all of us either are or will become disabled to one degree or another during the course of our lives.
By promoting empowerment, real opportunities for disabled people are created. This supports them in setting their own priorities. Empowerment involves investing in them-in jobs, health, nutrition, education, and social protection. When disabled people are empowered they are better prepared to take advantage of opportunities, and they can more readily accept their civil responsibilities.
【1】What is the International Day of Disabled Persons meant for?
A.To raise money for the disabled. B.To stress the value of the disabled.
C.To make an international celebration. D.To make able-bodied people care about the disabled.
【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Barriers B.Chances C.Decisions D.Regrets
【3】What is the main problem for disabled people?
A.Their number is too large. B.Few of them seek legal rights.
C.They can’t be fully accepted by society. D.They think poorly of their role in society.
【4】What is indicated in the last paragraph?
A.The author is worried about the disabled. B.The disabled will have a brighter future.
C.What society has done is far from enough. D.The disabled must fight hard for their rights.
