17、different from English we know, the sign read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and Here can charge phone instead of - 4 -Charge phone here.

18、gapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singlish, you can easily recognize influences from Chinese, including vocabulary such

Yet you cant stop yourself from
26、 adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt over your new purchases. But Im here to tell you to stop worrying. What you have is an antilibrary, and its a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal libraryHe separates visitors into two gro
27、ups: those who react with“Wow! What a library you have! How many of these books have you read?”and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows o
28、f unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary. If you think you already know everything about a subject, youre cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point. So a growing library of books you havent read means youre consistently curious about the unknown. And
29、that attitude is a great foundation for a lifelong love of 1earning.- 6 -So dont feel guilt over your unread books. Those books will be there for you when you do want them，and as you build your library of read and unread books，you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books m
30、ay become references more than read-throughs. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. Thats good for you and good for the world around you. 12. What does the underlined word“antil
31、ibrary”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The collection of unread book.B. A pile of books on the bookshelf.C. Feelings of guilt over new books.D. A large personal library 13. According to the author，more unread books mean_A. your wrong lifelong learning attitudeB. your strong desire about new informationC.
32、 your have no interest in the new worldD. you limit yourself from the unknown14. Whats the authors attitude towards having an antilibrary?AFavorable BDoubtful CAmbiguous DContradictory15. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Curiosity is a sign of high IQ.B. Unread books are surely relevant t
