Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.
Benjamin Franklin famously founded America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.
Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily find a public library in your community, you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.
Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像)from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!

B. Public libraries in the US should never close the doors.
C. The writer doesn’t agree with Benjamin Franklin.
D. Libraries help people to open the doors of wisdom.

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station.However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music.A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around.John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100
dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price.Therefore, later, many passers-by in the
station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but
cheap music feast.
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with
incurable illness.He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day.Nonetheless, his
wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away. After that, he often sighed. Due to to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife.But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
But It is no use crying over spilt milk.We have missed a lot of precious things without knowing to treasure
them.The reason is less than simple:we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people's lives, they have only done two things:
waiting and regretting.The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it.

have lost it by then.
