Most people think that their local public library is just a place to borrow books. The truth is that modem public libraries are for more than just reading. 36 Most libraries today have CDs and DVDs for people to borrow, just like they borrow books. If people don’t want to pay for a subscription for a specific newspaper or magazine, libraries also usually have copies for people to read at their local branch or to borrow and take home to read.
While some people worry that paper books and magazines are going out of fashion because of digital technology, libraries are using tech to their advantage. Most public library systems now offer electronic versions of books for patrons (借阅者) to download. These downloads are good for a limited time, just like when someone borrows a physical book from the library. 37
For those who like a more audio experience, many libraries also offer audio books, and MP3 music downloads. These downloads are also usually for a limited time. 38 Libraries also increasingly offer movies for their patrons to borrow digitally.
39 Many libraries have clubs and meetings that cater to a wide variety of interests. There are knitting clubs, lectures on different topics, and of course, reading and writing clubs.
For those looking to better themselves, many public libraries offer resources. 40 There are classes for those who want to practice their English or become U. S. citizens. There are even workshops to help people create resumes, find jobs, and prepare for interviews.
A. Libraries are also great places to socialize.
B. Many libraries offer a wide variety of e-books.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With a computer or smart phone today, we can make more and more friends, and even befriend people we’ve never met face-to-face. 36 Aside from modern facilities, how to make friends has been a question of vital interest to people through the ages. But how to make and be a good friend
37
Everyone wants to have friends who are loyal and true, but not everyone knows how to have or be such a friend. People who make friends easily are those who express an interest in others and in what they are doing. By asking questions and showing interest in others, you make them feel welcomed and appreciated, helping them feel their efforts are worthwhile.
Friendly people will not pass up the opportunity to let others know when they do something well.
A friend is encouraging.
The impact of well-timed encouragement can be tremendous. I can remember talking to a less popular classmate at school after he had a run - in with the class bully. “Don’t worry about him,” I said. “He’s just jealous of your grades in class. ” 38
What a response I got! We began doing almost everything together. 39 The incident taught me how important it is to show concern, and to this day we are still firm “best friends”!
Be trustworthy.
40 They are those who can trust and rely on. Do others see you as trustworthy The way you live your life, the standards you abide by, will create an impression on others. Never compromise your integrity, standards or beliefs because you think someone will not approve of you. If the person is a worthwhile friend, he or she will appreciate your honesty and uprightness.
A. To make friends, be friendly!
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Later on, this fellow introduced me as his “best friend. ”
D. What kind of people do you want to have around you
E. In fact one might have more “digital friends” than he does in real life!
F. Friendship is one of the most important relationships we can have in life.
G. A couple more times I offered encouragement when I saw him looking lonely.
