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.

One day, Lilly saw a sign at a company. "Help wanted, "the sign said. She walked up to the office and knocked on the door. She was met by the office manager, Margaret Costello. In her broken English, Lilly told her she was interested in the secretarial position, and said that she was19. Margaret knew something wasn't right, but decided to give the girl a chance.

Margaret sat her down at a typewriter and said, "Lilly, lets see how good you really are. She let Lilly type a single letter, and then left. Lilly looked at the clock and saw that it was 11: 40 a.m. Everyone would leave for lunch at noon. She thought that she could slip away in the crowd then But she thought she should at least try the letter. On her first try, she got through one line. It had five words, and she made four mistakes.

She thought, "Well, if she thinks it's good, then it must be good, I think I'll stay."

26、Letter A

Dear Rose,

I like your programmes very much. I’m now writing to ask you something about American social customs (社交习惯). My American friends want me to join them in their dinner party. I am very happy and have decided to go, but I’m a little worried about it, too. The social customs in my country are very different from here, so I’m afraid of making mistakes.

Should I bring a present, such as sweets or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late? At the dinner table, how can I know which fork (叉子) or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Wang Lin

Letter B

Dear Wang Lin,

It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine (葡萄酒) if you know that your friends drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you’re going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know about choosing the right fork or knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank them for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a thank-you card the day after.

28、It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different school or a different class, or maybe she is just sick at home for the day. Break or lunchtime can be lonely without her.   【1】 , but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like that everybody else already has their friends. But remember, there is always room for more friends.

Start by looking around your classroom—think about which one you would like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile and be friendly. Offer to share something or offer greetings. Invite someone to play with you or say—“Do you want to sit here?” in the lunch time. 【2】  , walk over to the ones you want to play with, and say, “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.

【3】  , or if you are feeling shy, ask your teachers to help you to make new friends. Teachers are usually good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend.  【4】 . As a result, you’ll soon have one, or two, or even more new friends.

You might still miss the special best friend.  【5】 , you can share something you didn’t have before she left. You can introduce her to your new friends!
