Three in five people in the UK hold a library card. For some, libraries are a shelter from the stresses of day-to-day life.    1    If you’re considering joining your local library, now is the time to do so. And if you need any more encouragement, here are several reasons why you should.

Most libraries in the UK allow members of the general public to come and go as they like.    2    You can also take out a library card and borrow books for free, although you will inevitably face a fine for late returns.

   3   Imagine just how many books you have at your finger tips with a library card. There are lots of modern ones, as well as original ones, and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time. It’s a priceless experience, especially for kids, and also a great way to level the educational playing field.

Libraries develop with times. They have changed greatly since decades ago.    4    Some libraries have apps so you can see when your books are due back and even reserve books in some cases. There are also libraries which let you access books in digital formats on your mobile device — pretty cool.

Libraries are one of very few spaces left in towns and cities where members of the public can come together and actually be and feel like a community. They have notice boards to offer services like exercise classes or learning centers.    5   

A. Libraries help people learn.

B. Libraries help educate the kids.

C. They create a great sense of community.

D. You can go in, settle down and read a book without being charged a penny.

E. Most libraries now have computers and allow people to borrow CDs and DVDs.

F. Libraries help us save money as we’re borrowing books rather than buying them.

G. For others, particularly the homeless and people in poverty, a lifeline to the world.

Gratitude is not only an art performed in daily life, but also part of our traditional virtue. Has your mother or friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? Do you feel unable to appreciate the world or people around you? Are you obsessed with things you don’t have instead of being thankful for what you do have?    1   , then you will definitely need to work on being a more grateful person.

Showing gratitude has been put forward in the last few decades.    2   .But there are still some tips that help make it possible for you to practice gratitude.

Refusing to play the victim is the first step you’re supposed to take.    3   . If you want to be grateful, stop complaining to the world, your teachers, your friends and your family about not putting themselves in your shoes, and focus on how much they’ve helped and cared about you.

Volunteering in your community is another effective way to show how grateful you are for what the world has given you. Whether you’re helping clean up a local park, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching children or adults in your community to learn to read, your perspective towards life will change positively.    4   .

   5   . You shouldn’t always be good only to your close friends or family members. You can help a neighbor look for a lost dog. You can also help an old lady carry her groceries. You don't have to search for these opportunities purposely. Sometimes they will present themselves. So when they come, act with generosity. You’ll be more grateful for your role played in the world.

A. However hard you try to avoid these questions

B. If you find yourself involved in one of these circumstances

C. Gradually, you’ll be more grateful for the chances to repay the society

D. Doing a random act of kindness is also a great way of practicing gratitude

E. While such encouragement is morally meaningful, it seems to be a little abstract

F. Ungrateful persons are always blaming the world for the problems and owing all the faults to others

G. When you reflect on your thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions, you are actually reflecting on your values

参考答案及解析

（一）

1.【答案】G。解析：根据空前一句可知，对一些人来说，图书馆是躲避日常生活压力的庇护所。根据结构“some...others...”可推知，空处应介绍其他人对图书馆的看法，G项符合语境。故本题选G。

2.【答案】D。解析：根据空后一句可知，你也可以拿出借书证免费借书，不过如果逾期还书，你将不可避免地面临罚款。据此可推知，空处应是介绍在图书馆免费读书的情况，故D项符合语境。且D项中的You can与空后一句中的You can also相呼应。故本题选D。
