More and more people choose paid study rooms with cute tables and chairs, green plants, pretty walls and quiet computer keyboards. To build a friendly learning environment, some rooms have low light to help people focus on (专注于) their work. Some places have sunrooms and learners can enjoy beautiful nature from large windows. The workers will tell people to keep quiet in the study areas.
“We hope to offer a perfect learning place to people who want to study.” said Wang Yi, founder (创始人) of a 24-hour paid study room. “Over the past six months, the number of people coming was much bigger than we first thought, so we are now looking for new places.”
Feng Jia comes to the paid study room every day to prepare for exams. “There are not enough seats in public libraries. Also, there are many people talking or walking around.” he said. At home, it is even harder to focus because of phones, snacks and pets.
While many people welcome the paid study rooms, others are afraid that these rooms will replace libraries. Xu Qiang, director of the Shanghai Library’s reader service centre believes that public libraries and paid study rooms are satisfying the different needs of people. “People come to public libraries for the large number of books, while they go to the study rooms for the learning environment.” said Xu.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题,每小题答案不超过10个单词。
Public morality is the silent rule of social operation. It is an important symbol that shows the civilization level of a city and a nation. Unlike strict laws, it has no strong force to punish people, but it tests every citizen’s self-discipline and social responsibility.
Many people pay little attention to tiny uncivilized behaviours in daily life. Some take up public resources for personal use, some damage public facilities and green plants at will, and some run red lights just to save a little time. Most people think these small actions matter little, but they actually disturb public order and harm the shared interests of the whole society.
We should understand that public morality is closely connected with everyone’s life. A good social environment cannot depend only on management rules. It needs every individual to control their own behaviour and care more about public interests than personal convenience.
Following public morality never means doing great and difficult things. It is hidden in every little moment: obeying traffic rules, protecting public property, speaking politely in public and respecting the rights of others. When everyone learns to restrain themselves actively, our society will surely become more civilized, warm and harmonious.
1. What does public morality stand for?
2. What do tiny uncivilized behaviours harm?
3. What is public morality closely linked to?
4. What does following public morality need?
5. What will our society become with self-discipline?
