“You can tell me,” I said. “I can deal with it. My mother has cancer.”

“It's cancer. ”

The result hit me, and I had to idea how my life and I were about to change.

I shared the news with my family. I couldn't help crying. I thought about what I needed to do for my family and the everyday things as well.

Two days later I had an operation, and I recovered quickly, but Mummy passed away soon. Except for the regular check-ups, life returned to normal. But a few months on, my doctor found cancer in my neck!

“What are my chances of survival?” I asked.

“Pick any number between one and hundred, ”the doctor replied.

I had another operation. This time my doctor said I also needed radiation therapy(化疗), which is very hard on a patient with cancer. But I was again not going to allow cancer to disturb my job and life.

【题目】In recent years, little free libraries of all shapes and sizes have popped up. Often built by community members, they could be found on street corners and the sidewalks across the United States, hoping to share their book collections with their neighbors. Minneapolis, Minnesota, even hosted the first Little Free Library Festival, where book fans came together to promote literacy (读写能力)in their communities.

For the most part, little free libraries have more in common with book sharing shelves in hotels, local parks, coffee shops and other public spaces than the traditional public library. Based on the rule of "take a book, leave a book," these little libraries can take many forms from birdhouse-like wooden structures to redesigned newspaper selling machines, Robert Wirsing writes for the Bronx Times.

The little free library organization began when a citizen of Hudson, Wisconsin, named Todd Bol built a little one-room schoolhouse, filled it with books and placed it in his front yard to honor his mother who passed away in 2009. Together with a local educator named Rick Brooks, the two began placing little free libraries across Wisconsin and sharing the idea with people across the country.

"Something we are eager for in this information age is that connection between people," Bol tells Margret Aldrich for Book Riot. "I want to show how Little Free Library is about readers inspiring readers. It goes on and on."

While Little Free Libraries seem like a harmless means to promote literacy by sharing books with neighbors, a few of the roadside landing libraries have caused minor legal problems. officials in Los Angeles and Shreveport, Louisiana, have told some citizens that their homemade libraries broke city roles and that they would have to remove them to avoid being fined.

Still, little free libraries have been well accepted by their commnunities. For anyone interested in making their own at home, the organization has posted helpful tips and guides for building the little book lending boxes in their neighborhoods.

1What can we know about the little free libraries in America?

A. They are state-owned.

B. They are popular nationally.

C. They are set up to sell books.

D. They help those with no books to read.

2What is a common character of little free libraries?

A. They lie in many public places.

B. They share a large collection of books.

C. They compete with traditional public libraries.

D. They exist mainly in the form of wooden houses.

3What is Todd Bol's primary aim of building, a library?

A. To remember his dead mother.

B. To help people form a habit of reading.

C. To set an example to other communities.

D. To share his knowledge, with other citizens.

4What does Todd Bol think of the little free libraries?

A. They cause minor legal problems.

B. They should continue to exist.

C. They mean a lot to community members.

D. They should be supported by the government.
