A library is a place where a large collection of books are lined. However, quite different from traditional ones, a new library which opened last month in San Antonio, Texas, US is very special in the thing —there is not a single book in it.

In fact, the world’s first “bookless” library, known as BiblioTech, looks more like an Internet café—instead of bookshelves. It has iPads, laptops and desktop computers to use on site and 500 e-readers for members to borrow. Most importantly, there is no printed material, reported Time.

“Our digital library is stored in the cloud, so you don’t have to come in to get a book,” Laura Cole, BiblioTech’s special projects coordinator, told CNN. The library at the moment has a collection of 10,000 e-books and is trying to add more.

The idea of a bookless library no longer seems new since e-books have been around for quite some time. At the end of 2012, 23 percent of Americans aged 16 and older read e-books, up from 16 percent the year before. At the same time, the proportion(比例) of Americans who read a printed book fell from 72 percent to 67 percent.

“Not all libraries are going to be like us,” Nelson Wolff, a local official told CNN. “But we surely do hope it’s going to drive them to do so. The world is changing, and libraries can’t stay the same —if they want to stay connected with the changing world.”

Also, located in a low-income (低收入的) neighborhood where 40 percent of families don’t have a computer and half are not available(可获得的) to broadband Internet service, BiblioTech provides digital convenience to people who lack it.

All in all, the newly-born library, though young, may be promising in the future soon to come.

Wife: It’s Friday today. How do you want to spend the evening, darling?

Husband: Well, why not go   (1)  (dance)? We haven’t done that   (2)   a long time.

Wife: Oh, to tell the truth, I don’t really feel like going dancing tonight. I had a hard day and I’m sort of tired. What’s more, I   (3)  (suppose) to go rock climbing with my colleague Dorothy tomorrow morning.

Husband: Well, in that   (4)  , we could go to the new movie Life of Pi by that world-famous director Ang Lee. I really like his work,   (5)  will stop showing the day after tomorrow.

Wife: Oh, we go to the movies   (6)   much. Can’t we do something different for a   (7)  , honey?

Husband: Well, do you have any suggestions?

Wife: Let me see. How do you feel about asking some friends over to play cards?

Husband: It’s OK with me,   (8)   we don’t have any beer or anything to eat at home.

Wife: Well,   (9)   is better to call Juliet and ask her and that neighbor of   (10)  , David, to come over, and I’ll go to the store and buy some food and drinks.

Husband: OK. That’s a good idea.

In the toy section, I noticed a small boy of about five years old, pressing a doll against his chest. He kept on touching  (1)  _hair of the doll and looked very sad. I wondered who he wanted to give the doll  (2)  _. So I walked towards him and asked him all about it. “It is the doll  (3)   my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.”

I told him not   (4)  _ (worry). However, he replied sadly, “No, Santa Claus cannot bring it to   (5)  _she is now. I’ll have to give the doll to my mother so that she can give it to her when she goes there.” His eyes were filled with   (6)  _ (sad) while saying this. “My sister   (7)   (go) to be with God. Daddy said that Mommy will also join God very soon, so I think that she can bring the doll with   (8)  _ to give it to my sister.”

My heart almost stopped  (9)  _ (beat) wholly. The little boy looked up at me and said, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I asked him to wait   (10)  _ I come back from the store.”

Homework is an important part of education. However, what is it about homework? What makes it important?

First, homework helps students learn. Homework produces higher learning ability by asking the student to read the same text many times.

Most of the time, homework will ask students to read other books. So children have to read and understand it by themselves. Sometimes, parents must help children with this type of learning. Children hope to use what they have read to solve questions and problems in the homework.

Good use of homework makes children know that learning can happen with or without the teacher.As homework is finished, students learn to work out their own problems. Most students need a little help now and then, but doing homework is a way that children can learn to take care of themselves. If the student can do his or her own work, it is likely the ability he gets will be good for their future life.

Most homework gives room for additional(额外的) learning. Short answers, long answers and papers provide a way for students to learn things that interest them. Science can give the student a chance to go deeper into a field and have a better understanding. These things are almost impossible within the classroom education. If the project is done by a group, the students will also learn cooperation(合作).

Good study skills students get from homework and test preparation can be used easily in most work places.

Title: Importance of.   (1)  

There was once a young shepherd boy who tended his sheep at the foot of a mountain near a dark forest. It was lonely and  (1)  (bore) for him watching the sheep all day.

No one was near  (2)  there farmers he could sometimes see working in the fields in the valley below.

One day the boy thought of a plan by  (3)  he could get a little company and have some fun. He ran down toward the valley  (4)  (cry), “Wolf! Wolf!”

The men ran to meet him, and  (5)  they found out there was no wolf at all, they complained and returned to their work. However, the boy was very happy when he saw the men come running.

The boy enjoyed the company so much that a few days later he tried  (6)  same trick again, and again the men ran to help him.

A few days later, a real wolf came from the forest and was heading  (7)  the sheep.

The boy ran toward the valley, and more loudly  (8)  ever he cried,“Wolf! Wolf! A wolf has really appeared. ”

But the men, who had been  (9)  (fool) twice before, thought that he was tricking them again. No one came  (10)  (help) the boy. The lying shepherd boy was eaten up by the wolf with all his  sheep.

Crying marriage？    (1)  （surprise）,isn’t it？ Factually, the custom of crying marriage existed a long time ago in many areas of Southwest China’s Sichuan Province,and      (2)   （remain） in fashion     (3)   the end of the Qing Dynasty. Though not so popular as before, the custom is still observed by people in many places, especially Tujia people, who view it as a     (4)   （ necessary） to marriage procedure.

It is very much    (5)   same in different places of the province. According to elderly people, every bride had to cry at the wedding      (6)   , the bride’s neighbors would look down upon       (7)   as a poorly cultivated girl and she would become the laughingstock of the village. In fact, there were cases      (8)   which the bride was beaten by her mother for not crying at the wedding ceremony.

In a word, crying at the wedding is a     (9)    by custom to set off the happiness of the wedding through falsely sorrowful words. However, in the     (10)  ​ （arrange）marriages of the old days of China, there were indeed quite a lot of brides who cried over their unsatisfactory marriage and even their miserable life.

In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining(请客) at home. They often invite friends over   (1)  a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.

Here are the  (2)   (kind) of things people say when they invite someone to their home:

"Would you like to come over for dinner Saturday night?""Hey, we   (3)  (have) a party on Friday. Can you come?"

  (4)  (reply) to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give an excuse:"Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?"   (5)  "Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie."

Sometimes,  (6)  ,people use expressions that sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example:"Please come over for a drink sometime.""Why not get together for  (7)  party sometime?" "Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?"

They are really just polite ways of   (8)   (end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a specific(确定的) time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be   (9)   (friend).To reply to expressions like these, people just say "Sure, that would be great!" or "OK. Yes, thanks."

So next time when you hear   (10)   sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
