My love for libraries blossomed when I joined the public library. From the age of 8 I w allowed to walk from my home to the downtown library, housed above the police station 0nce the librarian gave me my first membership card, I could enjoy a range of books,which started with Little House in the Big Woods. I was addicted instantly, and this love of libraries and reading would change my life,allowing me to one day create a safe space for high-school kids,too.
By the time I was in high school, I could read the authors that we were studying in class, including Charles Dickens, Mark Twain and Emily Bronte. During the summer months, I got caught up in Gone with the Wind.
When I studied English literature at university，I thought it was time to build my own library. For the next 40 years,I continued to collect books. Until one day,I realized that all my books had become a part of the house, like wallpaper.
Toward the end of my teaching career, I became a teacher-librarian at my old high school, where I had first learned English literature. This position enabled me to regain my love and appreciation for libraries. I had a generous budget for my classes, so I searched for novels that would interest my teenage audience and hopefully spark a love of books. Fantasy, science- fiction, graphic novels -I bought almost any type of books that my students wanted to read. I bought sofas and comfortable chairs,turning the library into a safe public space,for everyone.
In doing so,I realized that the library isn’t just a place to do research. They are,in fact, places that offer an opportunity to connect with the past,present and future. All that is required is a tiny bit of curiosity. Libraries are places that should be full of life. They help us adjust to the world, and their doors must be kept open to everyone-for free!
24. What inspired the author to set up a library for students? A. Some well-known classics. B. His early experience of reading.
C. The suggestion of a librarian.
D. The book： Little House in the Big Woods.
25. When did the author begin to build his own library? A.In primary school. B.In high school. C. During university years. D.After leaving college. 26. What does the author intend to tell us in paraghraph 4 ? A. What his career was like. B. Where he stored his books. C. Why school kids loved reading. D. How he improved the school library.
27.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A private library
B. Read

When baby turtles first come out of eggs, they head to the sea by nature. The beach surface goes down,which is one directional clue they follow. Another is light:The.horiion(地平线） over the sea is brighter than the horizon over land. But lights from towns and beach developments can confuse the baby turtles. The sky shining above a city can mislead them to wander. And particularly bright lights can draw them away from the sea.
You'd think the extra time crawling (爬行）might wear, out baby turtles, which need energy once they get in the water to swim for about a day to get to their destination in the sea. In a normal trip from nests to waves,the babies build up chemicals that show they have been pushing themselves.
Some researchers took the baby turtles to a lab,where they ran on a treadmill and swam in a tank while their blood and breathing were monitored. The finding is surprising： even after hours of crawling,the turtles were fine by all measures and swam as well as turtles that didn't have an extra crawling period.
The reason is that they often stop while crawling if they are doing U for a long time,unlike the disturbed trip they make when heading straight to the water. So misled turtles are not worn out.
C. A librarian’s life D. More
