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.

26、 We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though, we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from. In fact, this is one of the ways that we’re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let's have a look. First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of (失去对...的意识) time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details (细节) over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps(午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That's because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive(感知)time again. Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
【1】According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long?
A.weekends and holidays B.weekends and work. C.classes and work D.holidays and work
【2】Which will not affect our time-keeping abilities according to the website listing?
A.negative emotions B.positive emotions C.adrenaline D.scientists
【3】According to the passage, in which situation don’t we make mistakes about time?
A.We wake up after a long nap.
B.We fall down from a high place.
C.We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.
D.We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.
【4】According to the passage, what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger?
A.Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B.We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C.Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D.We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
【5】Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Negative emotions make time seem longer.
B.We feel like time is going more slowly while having fun.
C.Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it.
D.If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, maybe we can't correctly perceive time again soon.
27、Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust each other. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, your hobbies or your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very useful to a f riend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships look the same exactly. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.

People want to know if pre-made meals are healthy enough for teenagers. Pre-made meals refer to half-finished or finished dishes that are already cooked or prepared, according to the China Cuisine Association (中国烹饪协会). There are several kinds of pre-made foods: ready-to-eat food, such as canned food or cooked food in packages, and ready-to-heat or ready-to-cook food. These foods usually r【1】 heating or cooking first before being served.
Many people think that pre-made foods are less healthy because they usually need to be kept in f【2】. “In fact, freezing itself does not cause nutrition (营养) loss,” Liu Junya, a 33-year-old professor in diet in Beijing said. “But nutrition loss does happen when we heat or fry the food.
Vitamins B and C in meat and vegetables can be lost during that p【3】. By being heated or cooked twice or more, pre-made foods can be less nutritious than freshly prepared and cooked foods,” Liu said.
“B【4】, many pre-made food companies put the taste of food ahead of nutrition,” said Liu. This leads to higher level of salt and sugar in the food and may cause serious health problems in the long term.
Additives (添加剂) are a【5】 problem related to pre-made foods. They are mainly used to improve the flavour of the food, as well as to keep it, increase its shelf life, and color it. In China, food industry has already had modern technology to keep pre-made foods without any additives. In this way some food can be kept for a longer time. But it’s n【6】 that customers only buy pre-made foods from big and qualified (有资质的) food companies or supermarkets.
It is hoped that laws on pre-made meals can ensure better nutrition and hygiene (卫生). “In this way we hope pre-made meals will be a【7】 by more and will bring convenience instead of worries to people. But at present, no one can tell.” Liu said.
