“Your doctor will discuss the report with you, sir,” the nurse told me.

Two days later I had an operation, and I recovered quickly, but Mummy passed away soon. Except for the regular check-ups, life returned to normal. But a few months on, my doctor found cancer in my neck!

“What are my chances of survival?” I asked.

“Pick any number between one and hundred, ”the doctor replied.

I had another operation. This time my doctor said I also needed radiation therapy(化疗), which is very hard on a patient with cancer. But I was again not going to allow cancer to disturb my job and life.

I have been cancer-free for over three years now. I've been working, writing and columns and appearing on my TV shows. If the disease returns, I will be unhappy. But having experienced so much and enjoyed every day, I know I am also better equipped to deal with cancer or anything else.

President Barack Obama has complained about the loss of privacy that comes with being leader of the United States, regretting the loss of simple pleasures such as a long walk or a trip to the car wash or supermarket．

“I just miss---I miss being anonymous,” he said. “I miss Saturday morning, rolling out of bed, not shaving, getting into my car with my girls, driving to the supermarket, squeezing the fruit, getting my car washed, taking walks. I can't take a walk”

His dream, he said, was to “go through Central Park and watch folks passing by…spend the day watching people --- I miss that”.

Faced with angry criticism for playing more golf than most previous occupants of the White House, he explained that the sport was simply the best way of getting away from it all. “It's the only excuse I have to get outside for four hours.” he told Hearst magazines．

Though he said he enjoyed his life in the White House, he felt disappointed with some of the ways of Washington, which he has failed in his pledge to change, such as the "kabuki dance" among political parties before serious policy discussions begin． His comments may be seen as vindication（证实）by critics who have accused him of appearing too detached（漠然）, and being slow to engage in vital issues such as Libya and the near shutdown of the US government last week．

Since arriving at the White House in January 2009, Mr. Obama has already racked up 20 rounds of golf in office, more than George W Bush did in his eight years．In terms of ability, Golf Digest magazine has ranked Mr. Obama eighth out of the 18 presidents who played the game since it became established in the early 20th century．

【题目】In recent years, little free libraries of all shapes and sizes have popped up. Often built by community members, they could be found on street corners and the sidewalks across the United States, hoping to share their book collections with their neighbors. Minneapolis, Minnesota, even hosted the first Little Free Library Festival, where book fans came together to promote literacy (读写能力)in their communities．

For the most part, little free libraries have more in common with book sharing shelves in hotels, local parks, coffee shops and other public spaces than the traditional public library. Based on the rule of "take a book, leave a book," these little libraries can take many forms from birdhouse-like wooden structures to redesigned newspaper selling machines, Robert Wirsing writes for the Bronx Times.

The little free library organization began when a citizen of Hudson, Wisconsin, named Todd Bol built a little one-room schoolhouse, filled it with books and placed it in his front yard to honor his mother who passed away in 2009. Together with a local educator named Rick Brooks, the two began placing little free libraries across Wisconsin and sharing the idea with people across the country.

"Something we are eager for in this information age is that connection between people," Bol tells Margret Aldrich for Book Riot. "I want to show how Little Free Library is about readers inspiring readers. It goes on and on."

While Little Free Libraries seem like a harmless means to promote literacy by sharing books with neighbors, a few of the roadside landing libraries have caused minor legal problems. officials in Los Angeles and Shreveport, Louisiana, have told some citizens that their homemade libraries broke city roles and that they would have to remove them to avoid being fined.

Still, little free libraries have been well accepted by their commnunities. For anyone interested in making their own at home, the organization has posted helpful tips and guides for building the little book lending boxes in their neighborhoods.

A. They are state-owned.

B. They are popular nationally.

C. They are set up to sell books.

D. They help those with no books to read.

【2】What is a common character of little free libraries?

A. They lie in many public places.

B. They share a large collection of books.

C. They compete with traditional public libraries.

D. They exist mainly in the form of wooden houses.

【3】What is Todd Bol's primary aim of building, a library?

A. To remember his dead mother.

B. To help people form a habit of reading.

C. To set an example to other communities.

D. To share his knowledge, with other citizens.

【4】What does Todd Bol think of the little free libraries?

A. They cause minor legal problems.

B. They should continue to exist.

C. They mean a lot to community members.
