1. 听写包答案:
Well, we do have lots of activities for younger children. Yes?
For example we have a Science Club.
At the next meeting, they're going to be doing experiments with stuff that everyone has in the kitchen - sugar and flour and so on.
They might be interested, yes.
And we have a competition for children called Reading Challenge.
That doesn't begin until after the end of term.
They have to read six books, and they get a certificate if they manage it.
So that gives them something to do while they're on holiday, instead of getting bored.
That's the idea, and there's special activities for adults too.
On Friday we have a local author called Tanya Streep who's going to be talking about her new novel.
It's called 'Catch the Mouse' and she based the story on a crime that actually took place here years ago.
Right. We're not free on Friday, but I'll look out for the book.
Now this probably isn't for you, but we do have IT support available for members.
We get quite a few older people coming along who are wanting to get up to speed with computer technology.
It's on Tuesday morning - they don't need to make an appointment or anything, they just turn up.
Well, my mother might be interested. I'll let her know.
OK. And there's another service which you wouldn't expect from a library, which is a free medical check-up.
The hospital arranges for someone to come along and measure the level of sugar in your blood,
and they check cholesterol levels at the same time. Really?
Yes, but that's only for the over-60s, so you wouldn't qualify.
OK, Well, I'll tell my mother, she might be interested.
What other information...
Well, we do have a little shop with things like wallcharts and greeting cards,
and also stamps so you can post the cards straightaway, which is really useful.
Yeah. Well, I'll bring the children round at the weekend and we'll join.
Oh, one more thing - I'll be bringing the car, is there parking available?
Yes, and it's free in the evening and at weekends.
Perfect. Well, thanks, Susie. See you...
嗯,我们有很多针对年纪较小的孩子的活动。是吗?
比如说我们有一个“科学俱乐部”。
在俱乐部的下次会面上,孩子们会利用每家厨房里都有的东西--糖、面粉等做实验。
嗯,我的孩子们也许会有兴趣。
我们还有一个比赛叫做“阅读挑战”。
这个比赛要到学期末过后才开始。
他们要读完六本书,如果做到了的话就能得到一个证书。
这样他们假期就有事做而不会无聊了。
嗯,就是这么想的。图书馆也有针对成年人的特别活动。
星期五,我们邀请了本地作家Tanya Streep来谈谈她的最新小说。
小说名叫‘Catch the Mouse’,里面的故事是基于一个很多年前在这里发生的一起犯罪事件。
嗯,我们周五没空,不过我会找找这本小说。
还有一个活动可能不适合你,针对会员我们推出了信息技术支持。
有不少老人过来,想要跟上电脑技术的发展。
这个活动是在星期二上午,他们不需要事先约定,到时候自然就来了。
嗯,我母亲或许会感兴趣,我会告诉她的。
好。还有一个活动你可能想不到图书馆会有,那就是免费的医疗检查。
医院安排了人过来,可以测血糖
同时他们还会检测胆固醇水平。真的吗?
是的,不过这项服务仅提供给60岁以上的人,所以你不能参与。
好的,我会告诉我妈,她也许会有兴趣。
至于别的什么信息嘛!
哦,我们还有一个小商店卖挂图、贺卡之类的东西,
还有邮票,很有用,你可以在那直接把卡片寄出去。
好的,周末我会带孩子们过来,我们要加入进来。
哦,还有一件事,我会开车过来,图书馆有停车的地方吗?
有的,而且在晚上和周末免费。
完美。好的,谢谢你,Susie. 再见...
2.阅读包答案:
虽然我们可以说衡量任何一个社会机构价值的标准是其在丰富和完善人生方面所起的作用,但这种作用并不是我们最初的动机的组成部分。
3.写作包答案:
Serious reading, on whatever platform or in whatever form, has its place in the advance of human civilization. All technological breakthroughs, such as the audio-visual revolution of the previous generation and now the digital revolution, all serve to complement it. Words as the all-powerful embodiment of human knowledge are never overrated and will never be totally replaced. More Chinese will realize their importance as the nation grows into middle-class comfort. The younger generations can afford to read books that are not utilitarian. As Francis Bacon famously said, studies can be “for delight, for ornament, and for ability”, and “delight” should rightly include the joy of elevating oneself to a level with a higher vista, which, unlike a high-rise apartment, money alone cannot buy.
