But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out. Benjamin Franklin famously founded(创建)America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system(系统)got its biggest development(发展)in the American history in the late1800s. 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(机会)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 4 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(创造性的)programs to bring more people into the library. Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧)are never shut. As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!” 31.Who founded America’s first lending library? A.Benjamin Franklin. B.Andrew Carnegie. C.The writer.

If we need an educational toy, we will go to the nearest store to buy it. But things are not so easy in the third world countries. Some families even have no food to put on the table, so it is impossible for them to buy educational toys. Then how to get these kids interested in science? The Indian engineer Arvind Gupta thought about this question for a long time. While still an engineering student at college, he helped to teach the children who were too poor to go to school. He found a good job at India’s Tata Motors after he finished school, and then he spent the next five years designing cars. But he didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. He took a year’s course and became a member of the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Project. Mr Gupta found the whole project so helpful, so he decided to leave his high-paying job and started designing educational toys to help the poor children. When the Internet became a popular learning tool, Mr Gupta started a website (网站) called Toys from Waste, and now it includes more than 260 videos. About 50,000 children and teachers visit the website every day to learn from the videos. Some young children have even won very important science competitions.
