Library is a collection of books and other informational materials made available to people for reading, study, or reference. The word library comes from liber, the Latin word for “book”. (1) , library collections have almost always contained a variety of materials. Contemporary libraries maintain collections that include not only printed materials such as manuscripts, books, newspapers, and magazines, but also audio-visual and online databases. In addition to maintaining collections within library buildings, modern libraries often feature telecommunications links that provide users with access to information at remote sites. The central mission of a library is to collect, organize, preserve, and provide access to knowledge and information. In fulfilling this mission, libraries preserve a valuable record of culture that can be passed down to (2) generations. Libraries are an essential link in this communication between the past, present, and future.

Nowadays there is plenty of good material available for young children, and of course, seeing plenty of books in use them to read. Of course, books are no longer the only source of stories and information.

Too many television programmes induce an incurious, uncritical attitude that is going to make learning much more difficult.

For many animals and birds, the problem is that their habitats-the place where they live-is disappearing. More land is used for farm, for houses and industry, and there are fewer open spaces than there once were.

The invention of the mobile phone has undoubtedly revolutionized the way people communicate and influenced every aspect of our lives.

We can also assume that most teenagers want mobile phones to avoid missing out on social contact. In this context, the advantages are clear. (3) , we cannot deny the fact that text messages have been used by bullies to intimidate fellow students. There is also (4) evidence that texting has affected literacy skills.

Apparently, only 18% of us, according to a survey, are willing to switch off our mobile phones once we've left the office.

The knock-on effect of volunteering on the lives of individuals can be profound. Voluntary work helps foster independence and imparts the ability to deal with different situations, often simultaneously, thus teaching people how to (1) their way through different systems. It therefore brings people into touch with the real world; and, hence, equips them for the future. Initially, young adults in their late teens might not seem to have the expertise or knowledge to impart to others that say a teacher or an agriculturalist or a nurse would have, (2) they do have many skills that can help others. And in the absence of any particular talent, their energy and enthusiasm can be harnessed for the benefit (3) their fellow human beings, and ultimately themselves. From all this, the gain to any community no matter how many volunteers are involved is (4) . Employers will generally look favorably on people (5) have shown an ability to work as part of a team.

Unlike some other endangered animals, it's not hunters that are the problem, it's climate change. Since 1979, the ice cap at the Arctic Circle where the polar bears live has reduced in size (1) about 30 per cent. The temperature in the Arctic has slowly been rising and this is (2) the sea ice to melt, endangering the polar bears' home. The polar bears' main sources of food are the different types of seals found in the Arctic. They catch them by waiting next to the air holes seals have made in the ice. (3) the bears are very strong swimmers, they could never catch seals in water. This means that the bears really do rely on the ice to hunt. Polar bears also need sea ice to travel. They can cover a huge territory and often swim from one part of the ice to another. They have been (4) to swim up to 100 km, but when there is less ice, they may have to swim further and this can (5) fatal to the bears. A number of bears have drown in the last few years and scientists believe that it is because they were not able to reach more ice before they became too tired and couldn't swim any further.

Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties (1) up about 10 percent of the population - but, frankly, it seems like society has forgotten about them. Just consider all of the right-handed gadgets, awkwardly designed desks, and cooking tools that fit comfortably only in your right hand. What (2) someone to become a lefthander? Scientists aren’t exactly sure, but research points to a complex (3) between genes and environment. While no exact set of “leftie genes” have been discovered, people who dominantly use their left hands do have more left-handed family members. And researchers have found different brain wirings in righties vs. lefties. But no matter (4) it is that drives someone to use their antipodal paw, science has also uncovered a particular set of personality traits that left-handed people tend to have. So for all of you lefties, leftie-loving righties, and ambidextrous folks out there - it’s time to brush up on your left-handed knowledge and help (5) an end to leftie discrimination once and for all.

It has become clear in recent years, that a large number of people are doing less and less exercise and this is now causing many serious illnesses, putting a strain on doctors and hospitals. However, some experts believe that too much exercise can do just as much (1) . Although it is true that moderate exercise such as walking can be very beneficial to a person’s health, it is not the only one factor (2) keeps us healthy. Diet is also extremely important and I would argue that it is probably even more important than exercise, although the ideal is for both of these factors to work together. It seems to me that many people are unwilling to put in the effort required to become fitter. 3) , too much exercise can also cause problems. So people are urged to take moderate exercise and eat moderately healthily rather than embarking on extreme diets and training. In too many instances, ultra-fit people have had heart attacks or dropped down dead. In all, governments need to find ways of (4) people to take responsibility for their own health. People need to realize that eating healthy food does not have to cost a (5) , nor is it difficult to prepare healthy meals themselves. People need to be better educated about their health.

In Russia, ice swimmers are called what can be literally translated as 'walruses '. The north of Europe, (3) , is not the only place where winter swimming is practised regularly. A large ice swimming movement exists in the UK, based in a famous location: the Serpentine Lake in Hyde Park in London.

When hosting an Olympic Games, a country has to take account of several considerations, among which the financial one is by far the most important. The costs of hosting the Olympics can (1) tens of billions of dollars, and it is commonplace for budgets to double or even triple. In addition to the direct costs of hosting the Games (the opening and closing ceremonies, athletes’ village, security, etc.,), cities often must build expensive new venues (2) lesser-known sports. Once constructed, sports venues often incur additional maintenance costs long after the Games have ended. While costs are the (3) concern for a host city, there are other factors to consider. For one, an Olympic host city may receive substantial revenue from ticket sales, tourist spending, corporate sponsorship, and television rights. Cities such as Los Angeles (1984) actually made a large profit from the Games they hosted. (4) , hosting the Olympic Games confers prestige on a host city and country, which can lead to increased trade and tourism.
