23、y mother and I made lasting friendships.Today,I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children s Library.My 8-month-old son,Colin,and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week,meeting and making friends.Well,

24、that is what many people don t understand a library is more than books;it s a community.Sure,the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels.But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997.At the library,friends and I learned how to resea

25、rch colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet.The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly,and where the librarians knew us by name.Their knowing our names wasnt a bad thing.When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University,Mary LaRosa,the librarian at th

30、ries D.express her love for libraries C In 1888 an Egyptian farmer digging in the sand near the village of Istabl Antar uncovered a mass tomb.The bodies weren t human.They were feline ancient cats that had been mummified and buried in holes in astonishing numbers.“Not one or two here and there”,repo

31、rted English Illustrated Magazine,“but dozens,hundreds,hundreds of thousands,a layer of them,a layer thicker than most coal joints,ten to twenty cats deep.”Some of the linen-wrapped cats still looked presentable,and a few even had golden faces.Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for c

32、hange;the rest were sold as fertilizer(肥料).One ship transported about 180,000,weighing some 38,000 pounds,to Liverpool to be spread on the fields of England.Those were the days of generously funded(资助的)explorations that dragged through acres of desert in their quest for royal tombs,and for splendid

33、gold and painted masks to decorate the museums of Europe and-5-America.The many thousands of mummified animals that turned up at religious sites throughout Egypt were just things to be cleared away to get treasure.Few people studied them,and their importance was generally unrecognized.In the century

34、 since then,archaeology(考古学)has become less of a treasure hunt and more of a science.Archaeologists now realize that much of their sites wealth lies in the majority of details about ordinary folkswhat they did,what they thought,how they prayed.And animal mummies are a big part of that.“They re reall

35、y displays of daily life,”says Egyptologist Salima Ikram.After looking beneath bandages with x-rays and cataloguing her findings,she created a gallery for the collectiona bridge between people today and those of long ago.“You look at these mummified animals,and suddenly you say,Oh,King So-and-So had

36、 a pet.I have a pet.And instead of being at a distance of 5,000-plus years,the ancient Egyptians become clearer and closer to us.”38.The underlined word“peddled”in Paragraph 1 probably means.A.examined B.displayed C.replaced D.shared 39.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Treasure hunting exploration

40、uty to control our behaviour.When we are children,we have few responsibilities.Our parents look after us and we generally don t have to worry about food or shelter.As we grow up,we gradually need to be responsible for more and more things.We learn how to run our own baths,make our own decisions,and

41、realize that we have moral duties.As adults,we are responsible for all aspects of our lives.If there are any problems,we have to handle them ourselves.We also have responsibilities that go beyond ourselves.Parents have the responsibility to look after their children,ensuring that they have a stable

42、upbringing.Beyond the family,people have a responsibility towards the community as a whole.It is in fact up to us as a society to make this world a safe and pleasant place for everyone.When we fail in our responsibilities,the consequences are most serious.Teenagers who abandon their studies might ru

43、in their own lives.It is even more horrible to hear about parents who,by not caring for their own children properly,are putting them in danger.Likewise,by not following the traffic rules,careless drivers kill more than a million people around the world every year.Certain professions in our society,s

44、uch as police officers,exist to protect the public,and the people who do these jobs often risk their own lives in order to do their duty.However,their efforts depend on the support of ordinary people.If we ignore our own responsibilities,society will become dangerous.On a global level,our entire hum

45、an civilization may be heading towards disaster unless we work together to save our environment.Furthermore,whether we are shouldering heavy responsibilities,like doctors or lots,or simply taking responsibility for our own learning as students,we will always be judged on how well we perform our duti

46、es.For-6-this reason,the hardest part of acting responsibly is admitting that we failed or that we made a mistake.Let s say you visit your friend s house and accidentally damage an expensive teapot while your friend is in another room.The honest thing to do is of course to admit your fault and apolo

47、gize.Because this requires courage,some people take another route:they pretend that nothing happened.Perhaps a broken teapot might not be such a big deal,but in any given situation,we can choose to act responsibly,and it is somewhat through this choice that we decide what our lives are going to be l

48、ike.To summarize,responsibilities are an essential part of life since our actions have consequences.Responsibilities aren t fun,but we can make the burden lighter by sharing them.If everyone considered how their actions would affect themselves and other people,the world would be a better place.42.Th
