Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans' education. 1. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

Benjamin Franklin famously founded America's first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s. Businessman Andrew Camegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. 2. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have chances to read.

If you can easily find a public library in your community, you'll get more opportunities. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing and seven tenths of the them have free Internet. 3. It provides much more information and chances to ask for jobs online.

Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program "Read! Build! Play!" adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images (图像) from the story happily. 4. 如今的图书馆总是在找寻有创意的项且来吸引人.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "The doors of wisdom are never shut." 5. 只要公共图书馆的门是开着的,他所选的是正确的.

25、Upcycling is the process of changing old materials into something useful and often beautiful.

So, is it the same as recycling? No. Recycling takes materials such as paper or glass, and breaks them down so their base materials can be reused to make a new product. When you upcycle an object, you are not breaking down the material, but you are simply refashioning it. For example, you might make shoes out of old wheels. Also, the upcycled object is normally of the same , or even better quality than the original(原来的) .

In fact, upcycling isn’t a new idea. Some of the best examples of modern-day upcycling come from the 1930s to 1940s when families didn’t have enough materials. In those days, things were reshaped and reused over and over until they were no longer useful. For example, an old door can be changed into a new dining table.

Nowadays, saving is still a trend (趋势) and a big reason why more and more people upcycle. But an even bigger reason for the rebirth of upcycling is its good influence on the environment. The simple fact of the matter is that upcycling is much better for the planet than throwing things away. When you upcycle, it will help to reduce one object that ends up on the waste mountain. Upcycling is also more environmentally friendly than recycling which needs energy or water to break down materials. Instead, it just needs your own creativity and efforts. For example, Grace Robinson, from the UK, takes used tea bags and turns them into dresses, shoes and even hats.

There are two ways to support the upcycling movement. Sort through (整理) your recycling bins and create objects yourself, or buy ready-made objects made from upcycled materials. Both ways do good to the environment and in return, you get something that is both attractive and practical.

【1】Compared with recycling, upcycling ________.

A．can sometimes improve the quality of objects

B．needs more energy than recycling

C．needs to break down base materials

D．produces more useful things than recycling

【2】The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.

A．materials that are used to recycle

B．materials that are used to upcycle

C．people who recycle things

D．people who upcycle things

【3】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．people have had the idea of upcycling just in recent years

B．to save money is the main reason for people to upcycle

C．upcycling needs both people’s creativity and effort

D．we can turn old clothes into new things to support upcycling

【4】The best title of the passage may be “________”.

A．Get Started to Recycle Today!

B．Let’s Learn to Upcycle Together!

C．Is the Environment Badly Polluted?

D．Is Upcycling the Same as Recycling?
