As the sun sets and the city is enveloped in the peaceful cover of night, a new trend(趋势) is rising quietly across China: the 24-hour library. In addition to staying open 24 hours a day, and featuring a wide variety of books, these libraries are equipped with comprehensive study facilities, including water, electricity, power outlets and restrooms. Some even offer soft drink services and dining options.
For Ye, a 25-year-old from Weihai, Shandong, the local 24-hour library is an invaluable resource as she is preparing for the civil service exam. Hired full-time, she finds that traditional library hours do not meet her study needs. “The traditional local libraries usually open at 9 a.m. and close at 10 p.m., which isn’t convenient for working people like me. I can only devote myself to studying early in the morning or late at night,” Ye said.
Similarly, Ma, a 20-year-old university student from Anhui Province, often visits a 24-hour library in Huai’an. During long holidays such as the summer and winter vacations, she goes there almost every day, staying for up to nine hours each time to study subjects like computer science, English and law. “This library is very quiet as many people are studying. It encourages me,” Ma noted, although she thought that there is noise sometimes.
A social media user Luo often visits a 24-hour library in Beijing’s Xicheng District. “The place is packed with more people reading than working, and others preparing for exams. The atmosphere is quite peaceful,” Luo told a media outlet. “There’s a noticeable increase in visitors at night, including seniors with children and professionals, but most go there to read. It feels quite relaxing. Now, besides cafes, there’s another place for me to go after work in the evening,” Luo added.
According to a national reading survey in April 2024, the average Chinese adult reads 4.75 physical books and 3.40 e-books in 2023. As of the end of 2023, China boasted 3,246 public libraries with a total collection of 1.44 billion books, marking a 5.6 per cent increase from 2022.
1. What do we know about the 24-hour library
A. It’s an important Period of public education.
B. It shows Chinese growing love for reading.
C. It’s a place for authors to share their thoughts.
D. It uses self-service machines to help people borrow books.
2. What is the main reason why Ye chooses to study at the 24-hour library
A. Because of its convenience.
B. Because of the public cultural spaces.
C. Because of its information resources.
D. Because of the public study atmosphere.
3.语言能力 归纳能力 What can be a suitable title for the text

In the past, when students graduated from college and got jobs, only some of them went on with their study. But today, lifelong learning is becoming more and more common.
Lucy, who is forty, teaches Physics at a college in Boston. “Next term, I'll teach some of my classes by using the Internet. This is the way of teaching that I've never used before. These days, I am taking a class to learn how to teach in this way. If not, I will lose my job.” At the same time, Lucy's 70-year-old parents, who live in New York, are taking an art history class online. “We love this subject,” says her father. “And we learn it to enjoy ourselves. You see we can study with people all over the world. What fun it is to learn like this!”

Usually, there are chairs and desks in every classroom. But a new study says maybe students won't need chairs any more. One day, they will use standing desks. A research team in the USA has made a study of primary school students. They find that if children use standing desks in classrooms, they can finish their work better than those who sit. Another study was made in high schools. It also shows the use of standing desks can improve students' attention. Many studies show that standing desks can help students lose weight and keep fit. Many teachers say using standing desks makes students listen more carefully and behave better. But a few teachers have their worries. It is not easy for them to see what every student is doing in class. Some students even walk around in the classroom. What's more, the students are too tired by standing so long. Some parents also worry about it.
