1、阅读下面的材料,将划线部分的句子翻译成汉语或中文.

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. 1. 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 1800s. Businessman Andrew Camegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. 2. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have chances to read.

If you can easily find a public library in your community, you'll get more opportunities. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing and seven tenths of the them have free Internet. 3. It provides much more information and chances 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. 4. 如今的图书馆总是在找寻有创意的项且来吸引人.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "The doors of wisdom are never shut." 5. 只要公共图书馆的门是开着的,他所选的是正确的.

24、 Macao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is a part of China and most people living there are Chinese.

The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade（做生意）with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts（城堡）to guard the city and the harbor（港口）. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.

Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to “gamble ”with their money, whether they lose or win. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins（毁坏）. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.

When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to see and to do in Macao.

25、   A teacher from America visited a school in China. In one class, she watched sixty children learn to draw a cat. The teacher drew a big circle on the blackboard, and sixty children copied it on their paper. The teacher drew a small one on the top of the big one and then put two small triangles （三角形）on the top of it. The children drew in the same way. The lesson went on until there were sixty-one cats in the classroom. Each student’s cat looked exactly the same as that on the blackboard.

  The visiting teacher watched the lesson and was surprised because the teacher methods were different from those in her country. A children’s art lesson in her country produced a lot of pictures, and each one is quite different from the others. Why? What makes this difference in educational methods? In a classroom in any country, a teacher teaches more than art or history or language.

  In a country such as the United States or Canada, students are asked to work and find answers by themselves. The students are helped to learn to have their own ideas. In countries such as China and Japan, students often work together and help each other in the classroom, but the teachers teach, and the students listen. The students are asked to memorize a lot. They have to learn the same textbook, do the same homework and give the same answers.

27、Did you know that about 55% of communication is unspoken, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.

Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, has a non-touch culture, so personal space is very important. In a formal(正式的) situation, we would usually greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but not so often, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek, let alone a hug and two kisses on the cheek!

Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, both men and women greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating.

At university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the local people, I have also started to pick up their body language. Sometimes, I find myself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing myself. However, what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.

Here are 5 body language tips in Italy;

● Use different signs; head, arms and hands.

● Use facial expressions. Always smile at people! It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to communicate friendliness.

● Use eye contact , because "the eyes are the window to the soul."

● Don't worry about personal space. Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch, so moving away or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly.

● Touch. When meeting and leaving, always shake hands.

【1】 In Britain, people usually greet each other with   .

A. a warm hug B. a handshake

C. a kiss on the cheek D. two kisses on the cheek

【2】 The writer uses Britain and Italy as examples to show   .

A. men and women greet in the same way

B. Italians are more friendly than the British people

C. keeping personal space is very important in any country

D. people in different countries use different body language

【3】 From Paragraph 3, we can learn that the writer   .

A. likes to keep his personal space

B. tries to learn Italian body language

C. knows little about Italian hand signs

D. keeps using British body language in Italy

【4】What is the most powerful unspoken way to show friendliness in Italy?

A. Hand signs. B. Smiling. C. Eye contact. D. Touch.

Moblog is a combination of two words. The first word is mobile, which means a mobile camera phone or camera. The second word is blog, a website for posting words and pictures.
