　　One of New York’s most beautiful and valuable buildings is in danger．The New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, many have to close its doors．

　　The library is a very special place．Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on．Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large．The roof of the main reading-room is fifty-one feet high．Here, a reader can sit and think and work in comfort．

　　And what books are there to work with?The library has over thirty million books and paintings．It owns one of the first copies of a play by Shakespeare, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century, and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells of finding the new world．

　　Every New Yorker can see and use the library’s riches－free．

　　But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the library hasn’t enough money to continue its work．In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays．Now it is closed at those times, to save money．

　　The library is trying every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs．Well-known New York writers and artists are trying to help．So are the universities, whose students use the library, and the government of New York City and New York State．But the problem remains serious．

　　Nowadays, everyone tends to use EZ link card for transportation．

　　Normally, when you get on board the bus, you flash your EZ link card and move in and when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit door(located at the middle of the bus)．We all know that if we forget to flash the card, full fare will be deducted(扣除)from the card．

　　Below is something not known to public：

　　If you get off from the entrance door and you flash your card, the card will capture another entrance fare instead of exit fare, thus meaning that two full fares will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two entrances．For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris(where it stops at Jurong East)and decided to get down ten stops later from the door you had entered．If you flash your card at the entrance door without informing the bus driver, a second entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying two full fares(2×＄1.90＝＄3.80)instead of one fare．This is useful information．

　　Here’s the solution：

　　Go to the “big” machine(i．e．machine for you to top up the card)located at the MRT stations．

　　1)Insert your EZ link card

　　2)Press the function key “Check card”

　　3)Press “more”

　　The above function will show you Information of the last 20 transactions(交易)on the screen．Please pass this e-mail to people you know so that they will not pay extra charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets．

　　Last but not least, call the hotline：1800 767 4333 when the incorrect fares are deducted．

　　[1]Have you ever been offered an alcoholic drink? What about someone's saying “Don’t worry, just have one little sip”? Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13．That first drink can be the start of a troubled life．

　　[2]Drink can make teens feel good, but that feeling lasts only a short time．Alcohol clouds your brain and hinders your ability to make decisions．Excessive drinking literally makes your brain shrink and can cause serious damage．Over-drinking can cause learning disabilities and damage your memory．It distorts your vision and leads to blackouts．Teenagers often think that drinking will give them more energy, but alcohol isn’t an energy drink－it’s a depressant(镇静剂)

　　[3]Drunk driving is one of the top causes of __________ for teen boys．An alcohol-related motor vehicle crash kills one person every 33 minutes and injures someone every two minutes．The rate of teen drunk driving is so high that the government is trying to pass new laws to restrict teen driving．

　　[4]When we get to high school, friends start pressurising us to drink．High school students see alcohol as glamorous and a way to become popular．I conducted a survey at my school．24 of the 63 respondents predicted they would drink in high school．11 said maybe, and 28 said they didn’t plan on drinking．

　　[5]Regardless of what they say now, things can change．Teens starting high school want to fit in．They think that one drink won’t do anything harmful．A little bit of alcohol probably won’t kill you, but it can lead to poor decisions．High school is the time to experiment with what you want to do in life, but if you’re experimenting with alcohol you could hurt someone, including yourself．

　　Anger and bitterness may affect your health．According to research, forgiveness may help you keep healthy, both physically and mentally．

　　Forgiveness－giving up anger toward another－can greatly reduce your body's anger and stress responses, which affect your mental and physical health．Research conducted by the University of Michigan's institute for Social Research has showed that people who forgive themselves and others experience reduced feelings of restlessness, nervousness and hopelessness．Other researches have found forgiveness can also lower blood pressure and heart rates．

　　“Stress exacerbates pain, tightens muscles and interferes with the smooth running of the immune(免疫)system．” says Fred Luskin, director of the Forgiveness Project at Stanford University, “People think they have this unlimited storage of anger that will never do harm to their health, but they are quite wrong．”

　　And good news：You don't have to be Gandhi to forgive others or ask for forgiveness．“Forgiveness is a teachable skill, which you can learn it just like you learn to play the piano,” says Luskin．

　　Remember these tips when learning to forgive：

　　Commit yourself．Do whatever you have to do to feel better．Forgiveness is for you, not ________．

　　Get perspective．Recognize that your primary distress comes from the hurt feelings and physical upset you suffer now, not what offended or hurt you two minutes or 10 years ago．

　　Meet positive goals．Instead of mentally replaying your hurt, seek a new and positive future．

　　Live well．Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge．Stop focusing on wounded feelings－that gives the person who caused your pain power over you．Instead, look for love, beauty and kindness around you．

1．What's the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 8 words．)

①_____________
