There is a public library in every town in the United States. Most of them are tall buildings with so many large bright rooms. Anyone may borrow books. In some places you may borrow as many books as you need, but in others you are limited (限制) to a certain number of books including novels. You may keep the books you have borrowed for several weeks.
The latest novels are always in great demand (要求), and nonfiction (非小说类文艺作品) books, for example, books on history, driving, science and gardening are also very popular. If the book you want is out, you may ask for it to be kept for you, and if you pay the cost of sending a postcard, the librarian will let you know when the book has been returned and is ready for you. Most public libraries also have a reading room and a reference (参考) library. In the reading room there are tables and desks at which you can sit and read the daily newspapers and all the other important periodicals (期刊): weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies. But you should take good care of your eyesight (视力). In the reference library there are encyclopedias (百科全书), dictionaries, and other useful books. But you can only use these books, you can’t take them out.

A plant makes its own food in its leaves. Water comes to the leaves through the roots (根). Air gets into the leaves through very small holes. The green coloring in the leaves uses the water and air to make food for the plant. It also needs sunshine because a plant can make food only when the sun is shining.
Animals and people could not live without green plants. They both eat plants. People and some animals also eat the meat of some animals, and these animals eat plants.
