I work at a community library. Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet. Nothing could be further from the truth. 1.

A simple Internet search for “cats” produces approximately 2. 98 billion results in less than one second. It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results? We hear so much about “false news”. 2. Librarians are there to help. They have been trained, through special classes and workshops, to sort through all of the results and find credible sources. Author Neil Gaiman said, “Google can bring you back 100, 000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.”

3. It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job, continue their education, and learn new skills. It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the “modern” world. It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them. It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work. It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions. It allows people to meet and exchange ideas.

Libraries are so much more than books and information. Yes, there are public computers, Internet access, movies, music, programs and a thousand other things. 4. They are places where people feel safe and welcomed. They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. They can, at times, be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study.

Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood, they too have those same memories. They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren. 5. I don’t see the Internet doing that.

A. We don’t know what sources to trust.

B. The public library helps people better their lives.

C. The importance of library staff comes to the surface.

D. However, libraries’ meaning and relevance goes even beyond that.

E. The public library brings people together to build a strong community.

F. In fact, it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever.

G. Every day children, students and adults use libraries to learn, grow and achieve their dreams.

Finally, I got a part – time job working at the local coffee shop. I had figured that the job would be easy. However, the actual situation was not what I had expected. The customers were hard to please. There was always too much sugar, too little ice, or not enough skimmed milk. However, I kept at it.

One rainy day, Hank, one of my regular customers, came in looking sad and defeated. I asked what the problem was sand if we could help, but Hank wouldn’t tell me any details. He just said he felt like going to bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.

Before he left, I handed him a bag of his favorite type of doughnuts along with his iced coffee. He looked at me skeptically because he hadn’t ordered anything else except iced coffee.

“It’s on me,” I told him. “Have a nice day.”

He smiled and thanked me before turning around and heading back out into the rain.

The next day was a horrible one. The rain kept pouring down and I spent my afternoon hanging out the window, handing people their orders. What’s worse, no one felt like tipping that day.

However, around 7:00 pm, Hank drove up to the window. Instead of ordering anything, he handed me a single pink rose and a little note. He said that few people take the time to care about others nowadays and he was glad there we still people like me in the world. I was speechless and very touched; I hadn’t thought that I had done anything incredible.

The note read:

Christine,

Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. I was sincerely touched by you. It is so nice to meet someone that’s nice, warm, sensitive and unselfish. Please don’t change your ways because I truly believe that you will excel. Have a great day!

Hank

Later, I did come across more complaining customers. But anytime I felt sad or just sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness. Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

1.How did the author feel after he began to work at the coffee shop?

A．Excited.         B．Confused.        C．Disappointed.    D．Satisfied.

A．He was very sick and had to stay in bed for some days.

B．He was not satisfied with the coffee served to him.

C．He was anxious to stay at home for a long time.

D．He was not feeling himself for some reasons.

3.．What does the underlined word “skeptically” probably mean in the passage?

A．questioningly    B．hopefully        C．anxiously        D．excitedly

4.．It was Hank who helped the author realize the importance of ________.

A．patience in one’s work              B．being kind to regular customers

C．taking time to care about others     D．sticking to one’s own career

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A．A Warm – hearted Man                B．Coffee Shop Kindness

C．My Part – time Job                  D．A Horrible Raining Day

Christine Reynolds worked at the public library in Yosemite National Park. When the government issued shutdown orders to slow the spread of the coronavirus(冠状病毒),　 she loaded the back of her car with donated books and began her own mobile library.“I know this may not be conventional, and yet it has worked and I feel of use,”she said.

Across the United States，volunteers are reporting a jump in little free libraries as readers look to pass the time. Made of wood or brick，and placed in front of parks or in the trunk of a car， the libraries have seen their small spaces filled with books.

Around 1,000 people live in the Yosemite Valley，where entertainment options are limited and some residents say Christine Reynolds' mobile library and her friendly chats offer a needed break.“I live in a rural area，so the Internet is not a guarantee. The time that some people might fill with online services is not an option for me. I turn to books to fill that gap.” said Connor Timpone, who lives east of Yosemite Valley. “Books have been a bright spot for me.”

“The spaces also have transformed into a new purpose. Readers are leaving can goods and other needed items to assists fellow neighbors. The libraries allow neighbors to help one another without getting physically close,” said Greig Metzger, director of the nonprofit Little Free Library.
