26、 The US film industry may have generated profits somewhere in the region of $40 billion last year, but it seems Hollywood still has plenty of work to do if wants to compete with the most popular American institution: the public library.
Yes, according to a recent Gallup poll (民意调查), which was the first such survey since 2001, visiting the local library remains by far the most common cultural activity American join in. As reported earlier today by Justin McCarthy:
“Visiting the library remains the most common cultural activity American join in, by far. The average 10.5 trips to the library US adults report taking in 2019 exceeds their participation in eight other common leisure activities. Americans attend live music or theatrical events and visit national or historic parks roughly four times a year on average and visit museums and gambling casinos (赌场) 2.5 times annually. Trips to amusement or theme parks (1.5) and zoos (0.9) are the least common on activities among this list.”
The results of the Gallup poll have been broken down in a range of different ways, all of which you can peruse (研读) at your leisure, but two of the more interesting, though unsurprising, findings are that women report visiting the library nearly twice as frequently as men do, and that libraries are visited most by adults in low-income households and least by adults in high-income households.
Congratulations to all you librarians out there; keep fighting the good fight. Pour one out for the zookeepers, though; it appears the zookeepers may be jealous and feel it not worth staying at the zoo.

27、Benefits of Sports
Taking exercise is a physical, mental and social adventure. It’s a great way for children to take a break from study and release extra energy. It also helps them lead fuller and happier lives as regular sports have proven to improve general well-being.
【1】 Regardless of your fitness level when you start playing sports, you’ll notice an increase in your overall fitness once you take part. Nearly every sport requires physical activity and the skills needed to be competitive. Basketball players focus on strength training. 【2】 The training process helps encourage physical fitness and performances in competitions.
【3】 Playing sports contributes to mental health, helping to increase confidence and self-worth. A pat on the back, high-five from a teammate, or handshake after a match really raises a child’s confidence. Words of praise and encouragement from the coach, parents and other players raise the self-worth. 【4】 So after a game, it’s a better idea to ask “Did you enjoy the game?” rather than “Did you win?”
Children who participate in sports might also benefit from the social aspect, feeling part of a group, building up leadership and responsibility. 【5】 Teamwork demands both being dependable as a teammate and learning to rely on your teammates to achieve a positive outcome. Teamwork will raise your responsibility and give you an opportunity to be a leader.
There is no shortage of reasons to find a sport to take part in. Are you ready to go? Pick one and get moving!
A.It’s not just your body that benefits from sports.
B.Therefore, playing sports is going to make you more fit.
C.Football players work on speed while track athletes train through longer runs.
D.Among these, learning how to work as a team is the most important advantage.
E.But remember, a child’s self-worth should not be judged by victory or loss.
F.If you play group sports, you’ll be part of a team that takes direction from a coach.
G.The physical benefits of doing sports are probably the most obvious.
28、 My first trip to Greece took place in the 1960s. There I accepted a challenge to hitchhike(搭便车)with a group of English friends from my university in Birmingham to Athens with little money.For me, a 20-year-old girl, I had not done anything like this before. It was so hard on the road.We slept in the open air, ate little more than bread and cheese, and depended heavily on the help of strangers. But it helped me learn about European society.
One day, my Greek friend came to see me at the youth hostel and asked me to step outside.He was angry with me. He reminded me of my social background and asked what my parents would say if they saw me living in these conditions like these “dirty” English. After several weeks on the road, we did look tired; but his choice of the word “dirty” interested me. He was showing a historic dislike of the English that some Europeans had. In that part of Europe,both the Turks and the Greeks, who dislike each other to this day, blamed(责怪) the English for their national disasters. He ignored my explanations of having accepted the challenge of hitchhiking.He took me home and his family, especially his mother and sisters, showed me Greek hospitality(好客) at its best.
My experience in Greece could not have differed more from the situation facing Pakistanis—and others seeking shelter —in Greece today.On recent visits to Greece in connection with my study on Islam in Europe, I saw the trouble of the refugees(难民). Some said that they had been physically beaten. However, there are good stories of ordinary Greeks giving shelter to some hopeless refugees. The sense of Greek hospitality that I experienced as a student does exist.
【1】What was the author's purpose of taking a trip to Greece in the 1960s?
A.To visit a friend in Greece.
B.To complete a challenge bravely.
C.To learn how to hitchhike to other countries.
D.To increase her knowledge about European society.
【2】What did the author find during her recent visits to Greece?
A.Many Greeks lived a very bad life.
B.The country hadn’t changed much.
C.Some refugees were badly treated.
D.Many people were leaving the country.
【3】What does the author want to show by giving the example in the last paragraph?
A.Many Greek people still love helping others.
B.Many people in Greece need help.
C.Greece is a safe country for refugees.
D.Helping others is very important.
