The Tianjin Binhai Public Library was described by The Daily Mail as "the wrld's ultimate library" in 2017, and "breathtaking" was the wrd chsen fr it. One bk at the library and yu'll see why. With its futuristic design and walls laded with bks, it's the dream library f every bk lver.
But as the awe cntinues, there's a burning questin lying in the back f ur minds: When physical bkstres are clsing dwn ne by ne, what makes libraries immune frm digitalizatin? And d we still need libraries as we've gt the internet in ur hands?
Reprter Ian Clark has the answer. "Libraries are nt declining in imprtance --- peple are simply changing the way they use them," he wrte. What Clark means is that libraries have shifted frm simply being strehuses f bks t a medium t help "bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nts". Accrding t him, Libraries Are Essential. Since nt everyne can affrd a smart phne, a tablet r an internet cnnectin, and nt everyne has the knw-hw t search the internet efficiently, it's public libraries that make sure that these resurces and technlgies are available t a larger grup f peple. And ne f the pitfalls that cme with nline materials is that they're nt always trustwrthy. "Ggle desn't tell yu what yu're nt getting, s peple need t evaluate the quality and cmpleteness f what they see n their screens," Sarah Pritchard, dean f libraries at Nrthwestern University, tld Nrthwestern Research Magazine. And libraries are usually where that "evaluatin" happens.
But all f these practical functins aside, we still need the physical space that a library prvides. It's smething that's called a "third place", accrding t the Seattle Times. This is a place in which we can fully cncentrate n ur study and wrk withut easily getting distracted. And cmpared t ther "third places" like cffee shps, libraries have a "nn-cmmercial nature" that allws yu t relax cmpletely. "Nbdy is trying t sell yu anything in the library. There is n pressure t buy and there is n judgment f yur chices," Anne Gulding, a prfessr at Victria University in New Zealand, said. "There are few ther spaces that yu can just 'be' withut smebdy questining yur presence r yur mtivatin."
28. The attractin f the Tianjin Binhai Public Library lies in ______.
A. wrld's ultimate library B. design and bk walls
C. every bk lver's dream D. reprts n The Daily Mail
29. The underlined wrd "pitfalls" in Paragraph 3 is clsest in meaning t ______.
A. prblems B. functins C. mistakes D. trends
30. What wuld Ian Clark prbably agree with?
A. Libraries have changed the way peple read.
B. Libraries are as imprtant as they used t be.
C. Libraries are better used by the pr than the rich.
D. Libraries are made mre available t mre peple.
31. What advantages d libraries have ver cffee shps accrding t Anne Gulding?
A. Libraries make peple less likely t get distracted.
B. Libraries give peple mre mtivatin and inspiratin.
C. Libraries prvide peple with a wider range f chices.
D. Libraries allw peple t read withut fear f being judged.

Math geeks(奇葩) knw what March 14 means. It's Pi Day. Nt Pie Day --- althugh Pi Day is a gd excuse t have sme actual pie. This hliday hnrs ne f math's mst famus cnstants: pi.
But what des pi actually mean? Read n t find ut.
The number pi, r is a rati that's equal t the circumference f a circle divided by the circle's diameter. That cmes ut t abut 3.14159. This is true fr circles f all sizes, frm pennies t pizzas t planets. Pi's value is ften runded t 3.14, which is why Pi Day is celebrated n March 14, r 3/14. It's als why ne Earth-sized planet rbiting anther star every 3.14 days has the nickname "Pi Earth".
But the exact value f pi is actually impssible t write ut. Last year. A pwerful cmputer calculated pi t a recrd-breaking 62.8 trillin digits. N ne, thugh, will ever get t the end f pi. That's because the digits g n frever.
Histrians aren't sure when peple first discvered pi, but its been arund fr almst 4,000 years. Ancient Greeks and Babylnians knew it, and maybe the Egyptians used pi t build the pyramids.
Tday just abut all math invlving circles users pi. It helps engineers map ut the path f satellites Pi als helps describe ther kinds f curves, such as light waves and sund waves.
Sme peple want t knck pi ff its pedestal (神坛). They think anther cnstant might make math easier t learn. That cnstant is tau, r DŽ. It is equal t 2ǀ. In math angles are ften measured in radians(弧度). And while pi is the number f radians in half a circle, tau is the number f radians in a whle circle. S, equatins written with tau might help peple understand and enjy math mre, tau supprters say.
Of curse, a simple pi-t-tau switch may nt win ver everyne. But if yu've gt anxiety abut maths, never fear. Science has revealed sme ways t manage that stress. That way, yu can have yur pi and enjy math, t.
32. Why des Pi Day fall n March 14?
A. Because it is the same day as Pie Day.
B. Because pi runds t 3.14 and that lks like 3/14.
C. Because peple switched frm pi t tau n this day.
D. Because it is when Ancient Greeks first discvered pi.
33. We can learn frm paragraph 5 that ______.
A. The exact rigin f pi is still unknwn even t the histrians.
B. Ancient Egyptians were the nly ancient peple t estimate pi
C. Peple have knwn well abut pi fr at least a few thusand years
D. Ancient Babylnians discvered pi and used it t build the pyramids.
34. The examples in paragraph 6 are used t ______.
A. discuss wh first discvered the cncept f pi in histry.
B. shw the steps f calculating pi with the parts f a circle.
C. shw hw useful pi is fr understanding many scientific ideas.
D. explain the reasn that finding the value f pi can be a challenge.
35. Sme peple want pi t be replaced because ______.
A. anther cnstant can win ver everyne.
B. tau, r DŽ, might make it easier t learn math.
C. it is impssible t knw the exact value f pi.
D. peple smetimes mistake Pie Day fr Pi Day.
