1、阅读下面的材料,将划线部分的句子翻译成汉语或中文.
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.

24、Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to connect our brain with computers. Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands(指令)to machines.
Recently two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne. Switzerland, showed us a small robotic wheelchair directed（指挥）by a person’s thoughts.
In the laboratory. Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand “Our brain has billions of cells（细胞）. These send signals（信号）through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles（肌肉）to give us the ability to move. But some injuries or other conditions can stop these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles.” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with outside world by controlling the machines with thoughts.”
The researchers designed a special cap for the user. It picks up the signals from our brain and sends them to a computer. The computer gets the signals and starts to command the wheelchair after a short while.
Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that gets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two kinds: communication, and controlling machines. One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team has set a main goal. That is to test with real patients, so as to prove that this is such a technology they can benefit（获益）from.
【1】BCI is a technology that can __________.
A. help the disabled to be healthy again B. help to improve computers
C. control a person’s thoughts D. connect human brain with computers
【2】Which of the following shows the right path（途径）of the signals described in Paragraph 4?
A. brain→computer→cap→wheelchair B. computer→cap→brain→wheelchair
C. cap→omputer→brain→wheelchair D. brain→cap→computer→wheelchair
【3】Prof. Millan’s team will test their products with real patients to __________.
A. make them live longer B. prove that the technology is useful to them
C. learn about their physical conditions D. have a better understanding of computers
【4】The best title of this passage might be __________.
A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center
B. New Findings about How the Human Brain Works
C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled
D. BCI Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries
25、John and Bobby joined a sale company together just after leaving college the same year. They both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss made Bobby the manager of the company but John remained a common worker. John could not be silent any more, so he passed his resignation(辞呈）to the boss and told the boss that he did not know how to treat（对待） the workers fairly but only love those who are talkative.
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought a moment and said, “Thank you for your advice, but I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your decision and take back your resignation.”John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much it cost per kg ? John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to tell the boss$1.2 per kg.
Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone selling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, “Boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg, $10 for10 kg, he has in all 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weighs about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality（质量）.”
John was very sorry to see the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to give up his job but to learn from Bobby.

26、Love, joy, and the warm feeling of pulling together to get through tough times don’t cost a thing. But gifts do cost money. So, what’s a poor family to do?
When Christmas season rolled around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. However, my mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one.
On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to Sears to pay our credit card bill. While my mother and I were paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back — I need to see something in the tool department.” A little later, my dad came back with a long box. I remember wondering at that moment if there was a pogo stick in that box.
When we got home, my dad put the box in the garage. While my parents were busy with their chores, I quietly walked out to the garage and found the box. I hoped a pogo stick would be inside — but when I opened it, there was just an old broom. And so it looked like Christmas morning would be disappointing.
But after all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad said he needed to tend to something in the garage. When he came back in, he was carrying a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it!
My parents probably got quite a laugh from the trick they played on me.
Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all: lots of love. My dad worked hard to support our family and my mother knew how to stretch a dollar. That was over 60 years ago and I still think about those wonderful Christmas memories every year during the holiday season. My parents were the best and I will never forget all the joy they brought into my life.
