That’s what the library is offering to do in Zhongshan, Guangdong Province.But the books have to be about technical and scientific matters.
The plan was recently announced by Zhongshan’s Association of Science and Technology and the local(当地的) library.
Zhongshan lies near Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, It has attracted a good many technicians(技术员)and scientists from inland provinces in recent years due to the fast economic(经济) development.
But the book stores and libraries in Zhongshan cannot meet the reading demand of these professionals(专业人员).
One engineer complained(抑怨).“We cannot keep up with the most up to date(新式的) scientific and technological developments without reading new books.”
To solve the problem, early this month, with the support from the Association of Science and Technology, Zhongshan library adopted (采取) the “book reimbursing system.”
Professionals who buy books on their business tour (任职期) can reimburse their expenses on the books after reading them and sending them to the library.
The new system will increase the book storage of the library and can guarantee (保证) that readers can share different books.

A.books on science and technology are getting more expensive
B.there are not enough books for the professionals to read

D.in this way the bookstore can sell more books

A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.
It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.
Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.
Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.
【小题1】When the author walked through her parents’ house, she _______.
A.was frightened that she had no idea what she wanted from life |
B.started to think about her own life |
C.realized I should buy a house. |
D.wondered why her parents had settled down early |
A.Their attitude toward high technology. |
B.Their ways of making their way to the top. |
C.Their attitude towards responsibility. |
