While it’s the books that make a library, being in lovely surroundings may provide inspiration and help you to work a little bit harder. Here are some of the coolest libraries of the world.
The Library of Birmingham — Birmingham, U. K.
The new Library of Birmingham is said to be not only Britain’s biggest public library, but also the largest
in Europe. Designed by Dutch architects, this replacement for the Birmingham Central Library was opened in
2013 and has a wealth of resources within its walls, including adults and kids’ libraries, music collections, a Shakespeare Memorial Room, and even a gym. Gardens crown the roof, while the changing seasons bring

variations in the shadows and reflections inside.
The National Library of France — Paris, France
The National Library of France, which now contains an astonishing collection of 30 million, dates back to
the 14th century and this royal library was set up at the Louvre Palace by King Charles V. The library was moved to Ruede Richelieu in 1868, with major design work carried out by French architects Henri Labrouste and, following his death, Jean-Louis Pascal. Here, the reading rooms are elegance themselves. There are more than just books to be found.
The State Library of New South Wales — Sydney, Australia
The public State Library of New South Wales holds the honor of being the oldest institution of its kind in Australia. It was originally set up as the Australian Subscription Library in 1826, but it wasn’t until 1942 that its permanent home was ready. Designed by Sydney architect Walter Liberty Vernon and completed in 1910, the magnificent sandstone Mitchell Wing is one of the architectural highlights.
Seattle Central Library — Seattle, Washington, USA
Seattle Central Library’s distinctive design ensures it stands out. Architect Rem Koolhaas is one of the names attached to its design. Architects sought to envelop the 11-story building with “a layer of transparency”, using a skin of glass and metal. The public library houses about 1. 45 million books and other things, as well as more than
400 computers available for public use. The building, which opened in 2004, was included on the American
Institute of Architects ‘list of Americans’ 150 favorite structures in 2007.
21. Which of the following libraries has the longest history?

Jimmy Choi is a cyclist, and a world record holder for push-ups. He also happens to be living with Parkinson’s disease. He was diagnosed with the brain disorder in 2003, suffering from involuntary shaking and problems with walking and balancing. There is currently no cure. Jimmy has to quit the sports. Soon he commits himself to being a motivational speaker and advocating for people with the disease.
Jimmy often shares his struggles on social media, and in a recent video, he expressed his annoyance at the
packaging of the pills he needs to take. It showed his shaking hand trying to get a tiny pill from the bottle. Jimmy wasn’t the only one facing such a problem. Brian Alldridge, a videographer, saw his video and immediately decided to do something to help him and everyone else dealing with this problem. He sat down at his computer and taught himself 3D modeling software. Within two days, Brian designed a new medicine bottle that separates a single pill in a container.
Brian made his own video and offered his design free of charge to anyone with a 3D printer who would be
willing to create a physical model. “I expected maybe one or two people to message me when I couldn’t
guarantee that the device would actually work. Instead, thousands of people offered to print the thing the next day,” Brian said, feeling so surprised. “Even more told me that someone they knew could benefit from it. ”
The online community took it from there, printing out many versions of Brian’s design until they had a
prototype to send to Jimmy. Jimmy was just surprised by their support, and he eagerly tested every version of it. The creators of the pill bottle now feel like there’s nothing they can’t do! If you think of a way to improve the lives of others, there’s most likely a way to make it happen, ”Brian said.
24. What did Jimmy show in the recent video?
A. Poor packaging of his pills. B. Bothering with reaching pills.
C. Design of a new medicine bottle. D. Requirements for people with Parkinson.

Each year, backed up by a growing anti-consumerist movement, people are using the holiday season to call on us all to shop less.
Driven by concerns about resource exhaustion, over recent years environmentalists have increasingly
turned their sight on our “consumer culture”, with Groups such as The Story of Stuff and Buy Nothing New Day growing as a movement that increasingly blames all our ills on our desire to shop.
We clearly have a growing resource problem. The products we make, buy and use are often linked to the
destruction of our waterways, biodiversity, climate and the land on which millions of people live, but to blame these issues on Christmas shoppers is misguided, and puts us in the old trap of blaming individuals for what is a systematic problem.
While we complain about environmental destruction over Christmas, environmentalists often forget what
the holiday season actually means for many people. In fact, for most, rather than an add-on to an already heavy shopping year, Christmas is likely the only time of year they have the opportunity to spend on friends and family, or even just to buy the necessities needed for modern life.
This is particularly true for Boxing Day, often laughed at by anti-consumerists the most. While we may
look down on the queues in front of the shops, for many, those sales provide the chance to buy things they’ve needed all year. As journalist Leigh Phillips argues, “This is one of the few times of the year that people can even hope to afford such’ luxuries’, the Christmas presents their kids are asking for, or just an appliance that works.”
Indeed, the richest 7% of people are responsible for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. This becomes
particularly harmful when you take into account of our consumption “problem” anyway. Why are environmentalists attacking these individuals, while ignoring people like Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who has his own f 1. 5bn yacht with a missile defense system?
Anyway, anti-consumerism has become a movement of wealthy people talking down to the working class
about their life choice, while ignoring the real cause of our environmental problem. It is no wonder no one is changing their behavior — or that environmental destruction continues without becoming any less severe.
28. What can be inferred about the environmentalist movement from Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A. It has targeted the wrong persons.
B. It has achieved its intended purposes.
C. It has solved the environmental problems.
D. It has persuaded consumers not to shop any more.
29. What does Leigh Phillips think of Boxing Day?
A. A trap for consumers. B. A tough problem to deal with.
C. A precious shopping opportunity. D. A positive contribution to the economy.
30. The example of Roman Abramovich is used to show environmentalists’_________.
A. madness about life choices B. discontent with rich lifestyle
C. disrespect for holiday shoppers D. ignorance about the real cause
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The environmental problems are very serious.
B. Less shopping can’t solve the environmental problems.
C. Resources are becoming fewer and fewer on the earth.
D. Measures should be taken to protect the environment.

Some people can walk into a room and instantly put everyone at ease. Others seem to make teeth clench
and eyes roll no matter what they do. A small body of psychology research supports the idea that the way a person tends to make others feel is a consistent and measurable part of his personality. Researchers call it "affective presence. "
This concept was first described nearly 10 years ago in a study led by Noah Eisenkraft, a business
professor at Washington University. He put business-school students into groups, had them register for all the same classes for a semester, and do every group project together. Then the members of each group rated how much every other member made them feel eight different emotions: stressed, bored, angry, sad, calm, relaxed, happy, and enthusiastic. The researchers found that a significant portion of group members’ emotions could be accounted for by the affective presence of their peers.
It seems that "our own way of being has an emotional signature. " says Elfenbein.
It’s been known for some time that emotions are infectious. But affective presence is an effect one has regardless of one’s own feelings — those with positive affective presence make other people feel good, even if they personally are anxious or sad, and the opposite is true for those with negative affective presence.
Unsurprisingly, people who consistently make others feel good are more central to their social networks —
in Elfenbein’s study, more of their classmates considered them to be friends. Hector Madrid, an
organizational-behavior professor, has found that leaders with positive affective presence have teams that are better at sharing information, which leads to creativity. Inferiors are more likely to voice their ideas, too.
However, Elfenbein notes that positive affective presence isn’t naturally good. Psychopaths（精神变态者）
are infamously charming, and may well use their positive affective presence for calculating ends. Neither is negative affective presence necessarily always a bad thing in a leader — think of a football coach yelling at the team at halftime, motivating them to make a comeback. She suspects that affective presence is closely related to emotional intelligence which one can use to cure cancer or to be a criminal mastermind.
32. What does the underlined phrase "make teeth clench" in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Make people upset or angry. B. Make people glad or refreshed.
C. Make people comfortable or relaxed. D. Make people amazed or thrilled.
33. Why does the author mention Elfenbein’s study in Paragraph 5?
A. To suggest leaders are better at sharing information.
B. To prove leaders also have negative affective presence.
C. To indicate positive affective presence has a greater influence.
D. To show positive affective presence can promote social interaction.
34. What do you know about affective presence according to the text?
A. It is for calculating ends. B. It is a double-edged sword.
C It is affected by one’s own emotion. D. It is the positive emotional influence on others.
35. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. Affective Presence: How You Make People Feel
B. Emotional Signature: Why Emotions are Infectious
C. Affective Presence: Negative Part of Your Personalities
D. Emotional Intelligence: Big Part of Affective Presence

My husband and I made an agreement to help each other stay off social media platforms as much as
possible. We left our accounts up instead of deleting them, but consciously stopped using them. 36
Now, I’m glad to report that they have worked.
Tired of being the last to hear of things, we downloaded a few news-specific apps that provide timely
第 5 页 共 8 页
information. 37 Instead of relying on articles shared by my friends, I now have access to a steady
stream of headlines that span far broader than my pre-specified interests.
Staying updated on our social circle has also been a more conscious effort. Previously I was kept
up-to-the-minute on engagements, weddings, new jobs and babies through updates and pictures.
Without social media, I now learn of these important events only when actually meeting the people involved.
38 The effort taken to sit down and write is far challenging, but when I do take the time to journal,
my reflections go far deeper.
I still log in occasionally. 39 Based on the screen time tracked by my phone, I used to spend an
average of over 24 hours a week on various social media platforms. That is down to just 20 minutes every month now, freeing up a large amount of time for sleep, hobbies and offline interactions.
40 I might know less about my acquaintances now, but have more time to keep directly in touch
with my closest friends. Walking home last week, I was greeted by a dramatic purple-pink sunset. I would have immediately reached for my phone a year ago. Now, it was enough to simply watch it darken into the night.
A. Overall, I’m glad to have made the change.
B. I bought myself a diary again after many years.
C. We have made a few adjustments in our daily life.
D. This has also widened the range of news I keep up with.
E. I do miss the convenience of using social media to record and reflect.
F. However, social media now plays a much less important role in my life.
G. I didn’t realize how programmed I had become to constantly use the app.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Micah was a child, I used to do many things with her. Later, I got promoted and was always on
constant business holidays. 3 years' devotion to work resulted in my absence from her life and now she was a teenage girl. Recently, I eventually managed to have abundant time to accompany her.
For the last few weeks, Micah had watched mockingbirds make a nest in a tree and lay eggs there.
Sometimes, I came to accompany her without being invited. But whenever I made an attempt to break the ice, “I'm good” was about all she said to me. Code for “Leave me alone”.
“Why doesn't she want to do things with me?” I thought as I set the table for dinner one evening, hoping
for an emotion bridge to reappear between us. Did she feel hurt with my long absence or feel ignored? Lost in thought, I was seeking to mend the relationship.
“Mom!” Micah yelled suddenly. “Come quick!”
Surprised, I rushed out, only to find a little baby bird on the ground, weak and helpless. My eyes went to the branches above.
“The wind must have blown him out of the nest,” I said.
“No, it was Mr. Whiskers --our cat. You let him go outside!” Micah said, a bit annoyed.
Looking at the nest without the parents, “I'm sorry,” I said and put the bird in my palm cautiously and gently. She didn't respond, but did not refuse my offer to help, either. Deciding to take care of the little baby till it became independent, I placed it in its nest. “What should we do next?” I asked. No response again. Instead, Micah went inside and hopped on her iPad. “Bird videos?” I asked. “Yes, I'm finding out what to feed it,” she said seriously.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；

She was more focused than ever.
