問題詳情：

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.

My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.

As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(來源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.

I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .

Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation.

As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避風港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盜版行為) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.

32. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?

A. Cooperative.          B. Uneasy.              C. Inseparable.          D. Casual.

A. Pleasure from working in the library.

34. What does the author call on other writers to do?

A. Sponsor book fairs.                            B. Write for social media.

C. Support libraries.                             D. Purchase her novels.

35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?

I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.(我一直是一個熱情的讀者，孩提時，有時候每天讀多達三本書。故事對我來說就像空氣，而其他孩子則打球或參加聚會。我通過從圖書館借閱來的書籍經歷冒險)可推斷，作者小時候與書是密不可分的。故選C。

詞句猜測題。根據上文As I grew older and became a mother可知，我長大了成了一位母親，結合下文I had several children and books were our main source (來源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them(我有幾個孩子，書是我們*的主要來源。對於我們來說，坐上車去當地的圖書館是件大事，在那裡我的孩子們可以挑選要閱讀的書或者想讓我給他們讀的書)可推斷，作者成了母親以後，帶著孩子去圖書館，孩子挑選書籍來閱讀，或者作者讀給他們聽，因此可知圖書館在作者的生活中又增添了新的意義，閱讀的樂趣在家庭中代代相傳”。故選B。
