It’s such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it’s pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.

It’s a library built with love.

A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”

Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses, and made a door of glass.

After adding the library’s final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.

They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids’ favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.

Since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.

The project’s best payoff, says Peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” (317 words)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Is bottled water better for you than tap? Or should you choose vitamin-enriched water? Experts say, skip it all. None of these products is likely to make you any healthier. Below, we look at four major myths about the benefits of drinking water. 1.Experts say there’s an easy way to judge. If you are not thirsty, your fluid intake is likely “just right”

Myth No 1: Drink eight glasses each day.

Scientists say there’s no clear health benefit of drinking so much water a day. 2. “Nobody really knows,” says Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University.of Pennsylvania.

Myth No.2:Lots of water equals healthier skin.

The body is already 60 percent water. 3.Adding a few extra glasses of water each day has a limited effect. “It’s such a tiny part of what’s in the body,” says Goldfarb. “ It’s very unlikely that one’s getting any benefit.”

Myth No.3: 4.

A more accurate statement may be: Drinking water is a helpful tool for dieters. “Water is a great strategy for dieters because it has no calories,” says Madeline Fernstrom of the University of Pittsburgh. “So you can keep your mouth busy without food and get a sense of satisfaction.” But water is not magical, she adds. “Other zero-calorie options such as diet sodas are fine, too.”

Myth No. 4: It’s easy to get dehydrated(脱水的) during a workout.

Dehydration sets in when a person has lost 2 percent of his or her body weight. 5. “It’s also obvious that individuals in hot, dry climates have an increased need for water,” says Goldfarb. “But for a walk in the park, no water bottle is necessary.”

A.So where does the standard advice come from?

B.But it’s unclear whether these changes are clinically significant.

C.So for a 200-pound man, this means losing 4 pounds of water.

D.Drinking extra water leads to weight loss.

E.Drink as much water as you can.

F.So, if you take a 200-pound man, he’s 120 pounds of water.

G.But first, how do you know if you’re drinking enough water?
