听力原文: Now, should a library be a quiet place to read a book or a lively centre where you can hang out and drink coffee? And can it be both? Author Tracy Chevalier who is also chairman of the Society of Authors, told MoFo News she is worried library is sacrificing books in favor of internet access and other facilities. Lena Techaty has mom.
Where I live? I have just a very small public library and, urn, I've noticed over the years that there are fewer and fewer shelves and more and more computers that's just slowly taking over and there are fewer and fewer places to sit in and look at any books and there are fewer books.
Is she right? Are books disappearing from our library shelves? Lena's figures show that in the UK last year, while people visiting libraries increased, the number of books in libraries actually fell by 3%. And the amount spent on books and other reading material also dropped, com- pared that to near 20% rise in the money spent on online resource.
Which is the most appropriate title for the passage?
A.The Development of Library in the UK
B.More Books and Fewer Computers in the Library
C.More Computers and Fewer Books in the Library
D.The Government's Growing Investment in the Library

听力原文:W: This food is terrible. I can't even finish my dinner.

W: Anything you want--sit there and study, shuffle another deck, get snacks for everyone. I like to stand behind my partner and watch.

W: Don't worry about me. I only play on Thursdays after dinner and sometimes we need a fourth player. If you like, I could teach you.
