When I got my first library card in the mid-1950s, my 【小题1】(appreciate)for the institution developed quickly. The memory of 【小题2】(sink)into an armchair and disappearing into the faraway world of pioneer life is still vivid today.

When I studied English literature at university, I thought 【小题3】 best to build my own library. However, forty years into my collecting, I realized that all-those-books had become a part of the house. Toward the end 【小题4】 my teaching career, I became a teacher librarian, 【小题5】 relighted my love for being surrounded by books.

My years as a teacher librarian were the most 【小题6】(reward)of my career. Even though I was an authority figure, I wasn't involved with student assessments and evaluations. I was free to make the library a comfortable and exciting place 【小题7】(learn).

Whether libraries are located in schools or in 【小题8】(community), I believe they provide students and the public with an opportunity to engage with the past, the present and the future; all that is required 【小题9】(be)a touch of curiosity. Libraries are dynamic places that help us to adjust to the world, and their doors must 【小题10】(keep)open to everyone-for free.

As a child, reading was one of my favorite 【小题1】 (hobby), and it still is to this day. I've always enjoyed immersing (使沉浸于) myself in the pages of a novel, entirely attracted by fictional characters and 【小题2】 (they) stories. One part of the experience that almost always made me feel【小题3】 (disappoint), however, was when my beloved books became movies. And according   【小题4】 a recent survey, I'm not the only person who is let down by book adaptations.

SuperSummary, an online resource, wanted 【小题5】 (know) the answer to a burning question: Book or movie? The company asked 2,030 people, ages 23 to 62, to answer questions about books【小题6】 had been turned into movies or TV shows.

The results were fairly close. Overall, 34% of people enjoyed the book,   【小题7】(compare) to 27% of people who liked the movie more. Although 82% of people said “screen adaptations help books come to life,” 46% of people argued that movie adaptations “would never be as good 【小题8】 the book.”

Perhaps the slight preference for the book over the movie is related to libraries being a little 【小题9】 (popular) than movie theaters. I 【小题10】 (complete) understand why people might prefer watching a live version of a story on the big screen, but to me, there are few simpler pleasures than getting lost in the pages of a good book.

Different people have different opinions about the book Tuesdays with Morrie. Arthur K thinks highly of it. He thinks 【小题1】 was a pleasant surprise to find that this book 【小题2】 (fill) with joy and hope, which encourages us 【小题3】 (appreciate) what we have, and to make the 【小题4】(much) of each day. Amy Wang thinks this book should be on all school reading 【小题5】(list ) . After finishing it, she feels she 【小题6】(give) a deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view. Marty doesn’t like the book very much. His first impression was 【小题7】 Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of 【小题8】 (repeat) over emotional thoughts and messages. Vivian thinks one of the lessons of the book is always keeping in touch with the good people you meet as you go through life. Like Mitch, Morrie makes you aware that you want to die 【小题9】(feel) that you have lived life 【小题10】 the full, knowing that you are loved and have loved others as much as you could.
