14、on is one of the greatest American poets. She was born in a【B1】_New England village in Massachusetts on December 10, 1830. She was the second child of the family. She died in the same house fifty-six years later. During her lifetime she never left her native land. She left her home state only once.
15、She left her village very few times. And after 1872 she【B2】_left her house and yard. In the last years of her life she【B3 】_to a smaller and smaller circle of family and friends. In those later years she dressed in white,【B4】_strangers, and communicated chiefly through notes and poems even with【B5】_

When she died on May 15, 1886, she【B7】_the rest of the world. Only seven of her poems had appeared in print. But to think E

She faced the essential facts of life.【B8】_Henry James, a famous American novelist, she was one of those on whom nothing was lost. Only by thus living could Dickinson manage both to fulfill her【 B9】_as a

Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into several【C1】_parts, each part being an individual country with its own language, character and cultural【C2】_. Thus Scotland, Northe

The engine stalls out at lights, holds back as you go to pass. It needs a tune-up and soon. Where do yo
25、u go? The library. You can take out an auto repair manual that tells step-by-step how to tune up your make and model. Or your tennis game has fallen off. Youve lost your touch at the net. Where do you go? The library for a few books on improving your tennis form.B)“The library!“ you say. “Thats wher
26、e my teacher sends me to doughhome work. “Unfortunately, Ive found thats exactly the way many people feel. If youre among them, youre denying yourself the easiest way to improve yourself, enjoy yourself and even cope with life. My first suggestion for making the most of your library is to do what I
27、did, read and read and read. For pleasure and for understanding.C)If its TV that keeps you from cultivating this delicious habit, I can offer a sure remedy. Take home from the library a stack of books that might look interesting. Pile them on the TV set. Next time you are tempted to turn on a progra
28、m you really dont want to see, reach for a book instead.D)Over the years, people collect a mental list of books they mean to read. If you dont have such a list, here is the suggestion. Take from the library some of the books you might have enjoyed dramatized on TV, like Remargues All Quiet on the We
29、stern Front, Clavells Shogun, Tolkiens The Hobbit, or Victor Hugos Les Mise Rabies. If you like what you read, you can follow up with other satisfying books by the same authors.E)Some people in their reading limit themselves to current talked-about best sellers. Oh, what they miss! The library is fu
30、ll of yesterdays best sellers; and they still make compelling reading today. Some that Ive enjoyed: A. B. Guthries The Big Sky, Carl Van Dorens Benjamin Franklin, Mari Sandozs Old Jules, and Norman Mailers The Naked and the Dead.F)How do you find these or any other books youre looking for? Its easy
31、with the card catalog. Every time I go to the library and I go more than once a week I invariably make a beeline to the card catalog before anything else. Its the nucleus of any public library. The card catalog lists every book in the library by: 1. author; 2. title; 3. subject. Lets pick an interes
32、ting subject to look up. I have always been fascinated by astronomy. Youll be surprised at the wealth of material you will find under “astronomy“ to draw upon. And the absorbing books you didnt know existed on it. CAUTION: Always have a pencil and paper when you use the card catalog.G)Once you jot d
33、own the numbers of the books you are interested in, you are ready to find them on the shelves. Libraries call the shelves “the stacks“. In many smaller libraries, which youll be using, the stacks will be open for you to browse. To me there is a special thrill in tracking down the books I want in the
34、 stacks! For invariably, I find books about which I knew nothing, and these often turn out to be the very ones I need. You will find the same thing happening to you when you start to browse in the stacks. “A learned mind is the end product of browsing.“CAUTION: If you take a book from the stacks to
35、your work desk, do not try to return it to its proper place. Thats work for the experts. If you replace it incorrectly, the next seeker wont be able to find it.H)Some of the brightest and best-informed men and women in America are the librarians who specialize in providing reference help. Introduce
36、yourself. State your problem. And be amazed at how much help you will receive. CAUTION: Dont waste the time of this expert by asking silly questions you ought to solve yourself. Save the reference librarian for the really big ones.I)You should also learn to use the Reader s Guide to Periodical Liter
37、ature .This green-bound index is one of the most useful items in any library. It indexes all the articles in the major magazines, including newspaper magazine supplements. Thus it provides a guide to the very latest expert information of any subject that interests you. So if you want to do a really
38、first-class job, find out which magazines your library subscribes to, then consult the Reader s Guide and track down recent articles on your subject. When you use this wonderful tool effectively, you show the mark of a real scholar.J)Since you can take most books home, but not magazines, take full n
39、otes when using the latter. Many libraries today provide a reprographic machine that can quickly copy pages you need from magazines and books. Ask about it. If you are working on a project of some size which will require repeated library visits, keep a small notebook in which you record the identifi
40、cation numbers of the books you will be using frequently. This will save you valuable time, because you wont have to consult the card catalog or search aimlessly through the stacks each time you visit for material you seek. Some of the very best books in any library are the reference books, which ma
41、y not be taken home. Learn what topics they cover and how best to use them, for these books are wonderful repositories(储藏室、资料库)of human knowledge.K)Your library can give you help on any subject. It can even be your business and legal advisor. How many times have you scratched your head over how to g
42、et a tax rebate(折扣)on your summer job? Youll find guides to that. Want to defend yourself in traffic court? Find out how in legal books at the library.L)Library Projects Can Be Fun and Rewarding. Here are a few ideas:1. What are your roots? Trace your ancestors. Many libraries specialize in genealog
43、y.2. Did George Washington sleep nearby? Or Billy the Kid? Your librarys collection of local history books can put you on the trail.3. Cook a Polynesian feast. Or an ancient Roman banquet. Read how in the librarys cook books.4. Take up photography. Check the library for consumer reviews of cameras b
44、efore you buy. Take out books on lighting, composition, or darkroom techniques or you name it!M)If you havent detected by now my enthusiasm for libraries, let me offer two personal notes. Im particularly pleased that in recent years two beautiful libraries have been named after me: a small community
45、 library in Quakertown, Pennsylvania, and the huge research library located at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. And I like libraries so much that 1 married a librarian.47 The nucleus of any public library is the card catalog.48 Yesterdays best sellers are still good for reading, which
46、 shouldnt be overlooked.49 The author suggests that people should go to the library for answers when things go wrong.50 The Readers Guide is a green-bound index which provides a guide to very latest expert information of any subject that interests readers.51 The sure remedy to kick the TV habit is t
47、o take home from the library interesting books to read.52 There are various kinds of fun and rewarding projects available in different libraries.53 A notebook will help readers to record the identification numbers of the frequently used books which cant be taken home.54 Readers should not try to ret
48、urn the book taken from the stacks to their desk to its proper place.55 When asking for help, readers are suggested not asking the reference librarians silly questions they ought to solve themselves.56 Your library not only helps your business, but also becomes your legal advisor.Section C56 Friends
49、hip is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of bel
