1、阅读下面的材料,将划线部分的句子翻译成汉语或中文.

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans' education. 1. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.

Benjamin Franklin famously founded America's first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s. Businessman Andrew Camegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. 2. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have chances to read.

If you can easily find a public library in your community, you'll get more opportunities. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing and seven tenths of the them have free Internet. 3. It provides much more information and chances to ask for jobs online.

Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program "Read! Build! Play!" adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images (图像) from the story happily. 4. 如今的图书馆总是在找寻有创意的项且来吸引人.

Benjamin Franklin once said, "The doors of wisdom are never shut." 5. 只要公共图书馆的门是开着的,他所选的是正确的.

The tiger was surprised and said to himself, “Whose is that strange voice from the cave? A dangerous animal is staying inside to catch me. I shall run away.”

A fox saw the running tiger. “Why are you running in great fear?” the fox asked. The tiger said, “My friend, a powerful animal has come to stay in my cave. The mother is promising to catch a tiger for the young ones to eat. So, I am running away.”

The fox laughed and said to the tiger. “Don’t be afraid. No animal is stronger than a tiger. Trust me. Let us tie our tails together. Then I will not be able to leave you.”

27、I love to tell the story about how I met my best friend-Tiger. We met at the school fair (集市). Each year, all the fourth-grade classes hold a school fair. Everyone in the fourth grade works at the fair. Some sell ice cream, drinks and snacks, others take care of the little children who ride the horses.

My job was to help little children get on the back of a little horse. I kept telling the children to wait their turn and holding ice cream for them while they rode about. It’s clear that I was growing older and should be more responsible.

Suddenly, a boy came to the horse. He took the little horse's reins (缰绳)! The horse stopped, and the girl on its back started to fall. I was trying to reach the girl when I saw Tiger go by my legs. It held the horse's reins and pulled the horse away from my legs. I caught the girl just before we both hit the ground. The girl sat on top of me. She was laughing at the ice cream on my face. The horse's reins were in Tiger's mouth!

Thanks to Tiger's fast action, I saved the little girl. We were both heroes. And Tiger, the fastest dog I've ever known became my new best friend.
