ran down her face when she saw the gloves in the catalog. Mum wouldn't buy them for herself,

because the family had a 3 time on the farm. She once heard Mum say to Dad, "Maybe

第一节、阅读理解（共20小题； 每小题2分，共40分）

"USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in? " We often hear such discussions. As

China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They

want to learn about the world. It's true that studying abroad can help students develop

themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be thought about. Language is the first. Students must

spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.

Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they

haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese

students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to

take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden （负担） to the family. For most Chinese

parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their

hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there

but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he

won a gold medal at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study

in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice.

Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day. Tom told

Huck about his idea.

"Where can we look for treasure? " asked Huck.

"It's hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted （闹鬼的）

houses."

So, one Saturday afternoon Tom and his friend went to look for treasure at the haunted

house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place, which made the boys feel very frightened.

but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom

stopped.

"What is it? " whispered Huck, going white with fright.

"Keep quiet! There's someone downstairs."

The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men

downstairs. One was an old Spaniard in a wide sombrero hat and the other was dirty and

unpleasant-looking.

Tom and Huck shook with fear when they heard the Spaniard speak because they found it

was Indian Joe. He said "It's time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from

the robbery? "

"Let's keep $30 each and leave the bag here."

The dirty man went to the fireplace and moved to a stone. Then he lifted out a bag full of

money and took out some coins. The two boys forgot all their fears when they saw there was

real treasure downstairs.

Then Indian Joe started digging a hole with his knife and the knife hit something.

"What is it? " asked the other man.

"It's a box." said Indian Joe. And he put in his hand and pulled out a handful of gold coins.

The other man found the boys' tools, and they soon pulled out the box.

"There's thousands of dollars in there." said Indian Joe.

"The Murrell Gang used this area one summer." said his partner.

"They must have hidden their money here."

"What will we do with this, Joe? Will we buy （埋） again? "

"No, someone might find it." said Indian Joe" Let's bury it in the member two den."

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries

have played an important role in American's education. But how are these book-filed 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 1800's. Businessman

Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the

country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie's donations helped build 1, 679 new libraries.

Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chance to Americans, young and old. He

knew that the more libraries there were the more people would have opportunities to read and

use books, speeches and news.

If you can easily find a public library in your community, you'll get more chances. After all,

the United States has 9, 225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the

libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities 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. Today's libraries are

always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "The doors of wisdom are never shut." As long as the doors

of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!
