Home / Opinion/ We Share Topic: How Can We Use a Modern Public Library? Editor’s note: Has it been a long time since your last visit to a public library? If so, you may be surprised to learn that libraries have changed for the better. They can help develop your love for knowledge, meet interesting people and so on. Here are some ideas from the readers. | |
 | Topic: Check out a book Libraries still loan out books, but you’ll find it easier to borrow whatever you’re looking for with a network of area libraries. By such networks, libraries share their books in a convenient way. Once the book you need arrives, they will e-mail you to pick it up in the nearest library. |
 | Topic: Check out other things The library is now a multimedia zone (多媒体区域) with different forms of information like movies on DVDs, music on CDs and popular magazines. Children can also find toys and games there. If a popular magazine you want isn’t offered and the library keeps a list of such requests, it may bring in the magazine when enough interest is shown. |
 | Topic: Join reading groups Libraries will often hold reading-group meetings for people of different aged groups. Perhaps you’d like to make more friends, and Betty Green, the library may have a book-sharing group you could join. Also, you might find it relaxing to sit quietly in a corner with a good book while you bring your little kid to a half-hour Story Time. |

| A．the kid to learn a new language |
| B．the parents to enjoy quiet reading |

【推荐1】On November 11th, there is a holiday created by Chinese people for singles (单身人士). It is known as Singles’ Day. But now it has become the biggest online shopping day in the world, T-mall, Taobao and many other online shopping sites offer huge sales on this day to attract shoppers. This year’s sales reached 253.97 billion yuan.
There are similar shopping days in the United States as well. The most well-known of these is Black Friday. It always falls on the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. On this day, stores will offer special deals, just like on Singles’ Day in China.
On Black Friday, shoppers will often wake up very early to wait in line at stores before they open. They might start to wait in line as early as 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. Sometimes the crowds will be so big that it is impossible to get inside the store.
Another similar holiday is Cyber (网络的) Monday. This day always falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving. It is like Singles’ Day, since it is only for online shopping.
Personally, I don’t like any of these holidays. They place too much importance on buying things. I prefer to celebrate Buy Nothing Day. It is a “holiday” that falls on the same day as Black Friday. It is an international day of protest (抗议) to the problem of over-consumption (过度消费). What do you think about these holidays?

【推荐2】In American schools, there is something called Homecoming Day（校友返校日）. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a Homecoming game on that day. This can be the most important thing of the year except the graduation ceremony. Students plan for Homecoming Day many weeks in advance（预先）.
Several days before Homecoming Day, students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of some school clubs build booths（摊位）and sell lemonade, apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome the visitors.
During the day, people like to look for teachers whom they still remember. They often see old friends and talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over, the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student as Homecoming Queen or King. It is a great honor to be chosen.
Homecoming is a happy day, but it is not perfect unless the football team wins the game. However, if the team loses, the students still enjoy the Homecoming. Some stay at the school to dance, and others go to a party. For everyone it is a day worth remembering.

I am wondering if you’d like to come and spend a few weeks at my house this summer. We have a spare room in the house.
The best time to come is in August since the weather is usually good then and
There is a large castle about twenty kilometers from the house. It is said that it has a history of 500 years.
As you know, I live in a quite small village and you may think that there will be nothing to do, but in fact, it is a very lively place, especially in the summer when there are always lots of things going on.
One of the most enjoyable summer events is an international jazz festival which takes place in the middle of August and lasts for over a week.
Please let me know if and when you can come so that I can begin making plans for your stay as soon as possible.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Lisa

Little mermaids forget their worries Look at their beautiful tails. A high school student learns to swim like a mermaid (美人鱼) in Andrychow, Poland, on Oct 6, 2022. She is taking a special class. A coach teaches her and other “mermaids”. Mermaiding is becoming more and more popular around the world. As mermaids, people can forget about their worries in the real world and just have fun, said Fox News. ______________________  From this fall, primary and middle schools will have labor education (劳动教育). Every week, students will have at least one class to learn about cooking, raising animals, repairing home appliances (家电) and more. This is to enrich Chinese students’ life and build their character. Chinese school education didn’t give a lot of thought to this in the past. According to a 2019 report, Chinese kids only do 12 minutes of practical activity each day, while US kids do 1.2 hours each day, China Daily noted. How do young people feel about the new subject?

【推荐1】For many people around the world, the third Sunday in June is a day to honor their fathers. It’s Father’s Day and celebrates father’s important role in the family.
Father is just as important to a child as mother is. Children depend on their fathers for their physical and spiritual well-being (身体和精神上的健康). For daughters, father is the first man they look up to, while for sons, father is an idol (偶像) and the strongest man in their life.
The idea of a “Father’s Day” was given by Sonora Smart Dodd of Washington in 1909. She wanted a special day to honor her father William Smart, whose wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself. It was after Sonora became an adult that she understood the strength and selflessness (力量和无私) her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. The first Father’s Day was held in Washington on June 19, 1910. And it was in 1966 that then-US president Lyndon Johnson made the third Sunday of June Father’s Day. In 1972, then-US president Richard Nixon made it a national holiday.
Over the years, the idea of celebrating Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June has spread across the world. Celebrating the day gives people a chance to express their love and thanks to their fathers. Celebrating the day also makes fathers feel that their efforts are acknowledged (认可) by their children and society.
