Now that the internet provides us with direct access to all kinds of information, some people say we don't need public libraries. This may be why some public libraries are finding new ways to serve the public.

Finnish designers used the concept of a useful public space to prove the point. Helsinki Central Library Oodi pushes the boundaries of what a library can be. The library opened its doors at the end of last year.

Antti Nousjoki, one of Oodi's architects, said the idea behind its design is to make the place “an indoor town square”. The building was designed without interior support columns, so the inside is mostly a large open space. According to Tash Reith-Banks of the Guardian, this is quite different from the normal idea of libraries-"Dull and silent".

Of course, Oodi still serves as a traditional library, with a catalogue of about 100,000 books. Finnish news outlet Yle Uutiset reports that, since opening, Oodi lends out5,000 books each day. But given the fact that Oodi has attracted almost a million viewers during the past four months, with around 7,500 daily visitors, it's providing more than just books.

While most libraries around the world offer internet access and other services, Finnish libraries often differ themselves in services, including access to e-publications, sports equipment, power tools and even karaoke.

Oodi goes even further. On the middle floor, multi - function rooms are designed to accommodate both noisy and quiet activities. It also offers facilities like a 3D printer and recording studios.

“Oodi has been designed to give citizens and visitors a free space to actively do what they want to do-not just be a consumer,” said Nousjoki.

1.What is special about Oodi?

A.It has more books. B.It's a place for both books and activities.

C.It only provides e-books D.It allows visitors to stay overnight.

2.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that Oodi　　　　

A.has a long history B.makes architects popular

C.houses a large collection of e-books D.is successful in finding new ways to serve people

3.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Library Of More Than Books B.A Public Place For All Visitors

C.A New Way Of Reading Books D.A Unique Experience of Visitors

Even for native speakers, the English language is full of traps. That’s why people are so hesitant to use whom instead of who, and why thinking about the differences between lay and lie gives even language professors a headache. 1.

Both words describe similar situations, with only one letter separating them. Though they’re often used interchangeably(可交换地), there is a difference between them. For anyone who struggles with grammar, it seems really hard to make a choice.

2. Farther and further are both used in relation to progress, but the type of progress they describe differs. Farther is used for physical distance, such as “he can run farther than before”.

3. For example, “she was interrupted before she could go further in her speech.” This can remind you to use farther when describing things like trips and walks, and save further for concepts like projects, education, and dreams.

This distinction is clear enough, but it is hard to decide when it’s not totally obvious whether it is dealing with physical or abstract distance. 4. If the progress being referred to is lines on a page, farther works just fine, but if the speaker is talking about the poem as a piece of art, further may be more appropriate. In such instances, it’s usually safest to use further, usage for farther is slightly stricter, and since further deals with situations that are hard to define, you can get away with using it in more contexts (语境).

5. After all, lots of great writers have been using farther and further interchangeably for centuries.

A.However, further is used for abstract concepts.

B.With the tips above, you will never be confused.

C.Similarly, further is used to describe specific things.

D.Luckily there’s an easy trick to remember the difference.

E.One more common trap is when to use farther and further.

F.If you still get them mixed up, don’t let it bother you too much.

G.Take the sentence “the writer got farther in her poem” for example.

A university in southwest China's Chongqing City set up a reading room as part of a campaign that stops students from taking their mobile phones with them in case the device prevents them from concentrating on their studies.

Reportedly a student named Hu Xiaopeng participating in the campaign studied 530 minutes without using his mobile phone. Unlike Hu, another one picked up his mobile phone in less than 20 minutes. “Having seen many students use their mobile phones in the library, a habit that shortens their study time and negatively impacts their learning, we decided to open this reading room,” said Zhang Shuran, the person responsible for the project at the university.

Zhang added that students can keep their phones in appointed bags with numbers on them. The bags are placed on a desk near the door of the reading room. “Staff members at the reading room will check the phones when there's a call,” said Zhang, adding that they will inform students when their parents or teachers call them, but will not tell students if an unknown person is calling or when there is a text message. Based on the time students hand in their phones when they come to the reading room and the time they get them back when they leave the room, Hu Xiaopeng from College of Animal Science and Technology of the university set a record of the longest time. Hu spent 530 minutes studying without using his phone. Though feeling somewhat surprised, Hu said, “It's bad to keep a mobile phone with you when you are reading or studying.”

The campaign has attracted nearly 200 students since it was launched a week ago. Some Internet users praised the campaign. One user named Liu Jingchang said, “It's good. I don't bring my phone when going to the library in case I get distracted(分心).”

1.What is the purpose of opening the reading room here?

A.To encourage students to read more books.

B.To help students concentrate on their studies.

C.To prevent the mobile phones from being stolen.

D.To stop students using mobile phones in the library.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A.The bags are on the desk near the students.

B.Hu Xiaopeng thinks the campaign is a bad idea.

C.The student will be informed if a stranger calls him.

D.The longest time that the phone is not used is recorded.

3.What is the attitude of the students toward the reading room?

A.Supportive. B.Cautious.

C.Doubtful. D.Anxious.

In my opinion, classical music is a bit like mushrooms! You don't see the link? Let me explain. When I was a young girl, I didn't like mushrooms. They had a horrible texture and no taste at all, and I used to pick them out of every dish in which my mum tried to hide them. But gradually, as I got older, my view changed. I started to enjoy mushroom-flavoured things like soups and sauces, and eventually I found I could eat mushrooms without grimacing. And now I even quite enjoy them! So my mum's prediction that I would "grow into them" has proved quite correct.

Similarly, I always thought of classical music as a boring genre that only grown-ups liked. Whenever my parents played it in the car, I would count down the minutes until we could change it to my preferred genre: pop. But while at university, I found that calming orchestral music was just the thing for library revision playlists—it had no lyrics (歌词) to distract me, and the pieces tended to be very long: perfect for long work sessions!

Recently, my developing relationship with classical music reached a new level when I voluntarily chose to go to a ballet. Admittedly it was the dancing that originally attracted me, but once there I thoroughly enjoyed the music too. It was The Nutcracker, and I was surprised by just how much of the music I recognised! The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, The Russian Dance, The Waltz of the Flowers—they all sounded familiar. I didn't know how I knew them, I just knew that I did! And I loved them. My parents would be proud.

1.Why does the author think classical music is a bit like mushrooms?

A.Because they are both boring.

B.Because they both interest grown-ups.

C.Because they are both great.

D.Because they both take time to get used to.

2.What does the underlined word "grimacing" in paragraph 1 mean?

A.Using hands. B.Changing facial expression.

C.Taking care. D.Feeling extremely embarrassed.

3.What did the author think of classical music while at university?

A.It was too long. B.It was very popular.

C.It was great background music. D.It was perfect for relaxation.

4.What do we know about the author in paragraph 3?

A.She was familiar with the dance.

B.She became a fan of classical music.

C.Classical music became her favorite.

D.Her parents were unhappy with her change.
