Visiting a library may not seem fun or interesting, but the ones below might be the most beautiful and attractive around the globe.
Widener Library,Massachusetts,the United
States
As Harvard's flagship library, the Widener Library was built in 1912. The library was named after Harry Elkins Widener, a 1907 Harvard graduate who donated 3,300 books, invaluable paintings and money. The length of shelves reaches 91 kilometers. Today, it is known as a “silent library”, with two floors of quiet study rooms and five floors of underground literary resources.
Biblioteca Joanina, Coimbra, Portugal
The Biblioteca Joanina was named after its founder, King John V of Portugal, who started building the library in 1717. The library, located at the University of Coimbra, houses 300,000 book collections. Many of the books were printed before the 1800s. The library is a huge tourist draw because of its decorative darkwood arches and shelves.
Trinity College Old Library, Dublin, Ireland
Located in the center of Dublin, the Trinity College Old Library was constructed in 1712.

Since her teenage son William passed away, Jane Gordon has been trying to hand out his medical equipment to people in need. “William hoped to spread his love. And it relieves us to help families suffering what we went through,” Jane said.
William was found with brain damage at birth. In order to make his life better, his family had a hard time in looking for suitable medical equipment. However, after William's death in 2022, the journey of donating his used equipment turned out to be not easy, either.
Jane's first idea was to hand out the items in New York,where William spent his childhood. However, the transport cost would be too high. After great efforts, they were finally told that a family in Seattle was interested, so Jane and her husband packed up and drove 1, 995 kilometers to drop it off.
Many of the items went to Adam Carson, a 12yearold Seattle boy whose backbone was severely injured in a car accident. Adam's mom thanked Jane, saying that it was difficult for her family to get the equipment that her son needed. The most helpful items from William are a car seat big enough for Adam, a chair that helps him stand up and a bed designed so he doesn't fall off.
Jane's experience shows not only how hard it is to get such equipment but also the difficulty when trying to donate it. “My son told me to pass on his love, so it's a heartache if I take his stuff to the landfill,” Jane said.
Steve Totter, director of MediShare, said he got daily inquiries from people trying to donate large medical equipment previously used at home. “We couldn't walk away from it,” Steve said. “Governments must find a way to make it work.”
4.What can we infer about William's equipment according to the passage?
A.Jane handed it out easily.
B.Jane managed to give it away.
C.Jane was unwilling to donate it.
D.Jane transported it to New York.
5.How did Adam's mom think of the donation?
A.It made a difference to Adam.
B.It cured Adam of his backbone.
C.It was similar to what Adam had.
D.It helped Adam drive a car safely.
6.What is Steve Totter's attitude towards medical equipment donation?
A.Doubtful. B.Objective.
C.Uncertain. D.Supportive.
7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Measures of Donating Equipment
B.William, a Kindhearted Teenager
C.Donating Equipment to Pass on Love
D.Experience of a Heartbroken Mother

6.“Fire! Fire!”The cry crept out on the still night air, and the fire bells began to ring.
“着火啦!着火啦!”惊呼声划破了寂静的夜空,火灾报警声随后鸣叫起来。
7.“It is Mr Barton's house, mother. Do let me go!” he said in eager, excited tones.
“是巴顿先生的房子着火了,妈妈。让我去帮忙吧!”他用急切而又激动的语气说道。
8.“I should like to go with you very much,”replied Susan, with a sigh. “But I can not finish the task grandmother set me to do.”
