Passage 1

Three in five people in the UK hold a library card. For some, they’re a shelter from the stresses of day to day life. 1If you’re considering joining your local library, now it is the right time to do so. And if you need any more encouragement, here are several reasons why you should.

Most libraries in the UK allow members of the general public to come and go as they like.

2You can also take out a library card and borrow books for free, although you will inevitably face a fine for late returns.

3Imagine just how many books you have at your fingertips with a library card. There are lots of modern ones，as well as originals，and you can continue to expand your learning and vocabulary all the time. It’s a priceless experience, especially for kids, and also a great way to level the educational playing field.

Libraries develop with times. They have changed greatly since decades ago. 4

Some libraries have apps so you can see when your books are due back and even reserve books in some cases. There are also libraries which let you access books in digital formats on your mobile device—pretty cool.

Libraries are one of very few spaces left in towns and cities where members of the public can come together and actually be or feel like a community. They have noticeboards to offer services like exercise classes or learning centers. 5

A.Libraries help people learn.

B.Libraries help educate the kids.

C.They create a great sense of community.

D.You can go in, settle down and read a book without being charged a penny.

E.Most libraries now have computers and allow people to borrow CDs and DVDs.

F.Libraries help us save money as we’re borrowing boo ks rather than buying them.

G.For others，particularly the homeless and people in poverty, they’re a lifeline to the world.
