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.

1.What can we know about the little free libraries in America?

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.

D. They should be supported by the government.

Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest．But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults．

Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health．That’s true for both teens and adults．The finding inspired Joseph Allen，a psychologist at the University of Virginia，and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health．

So they followed 171 teens，starting when the kids were just 13．They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoke to these teens’closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships．The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25，26 and 27．This time，the questions surveyed each person’s overall health．When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health．Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults．Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health．Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults．The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health．Weight，family income and drug use were all examined．So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression．And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did．

Going along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also drawbacks．Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work．And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior，such as smoking，drinking or using drugs．Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges．“Finding the right balance is the key．Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy．”And，he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”

For many of us, the real stress begins when a test actually starts. Here are some important ways to manage the stress and do your best on an exam.

Show up on time. Get the test off to the best possible start by getting there on time. 1.. However, arriving too early could give you time to sit there and worry about things.

Stay focused and relaxed. Focused and relaxed? Does that sound impossible? Well, what we mean is this: keep your mind on the test, but don’t tighten up. 2.. If you feel so nervous that you are afraid you might actually snap your pencil in your hand, try that deep-breathing thing for a moment. Then get right back to the test questions.

3.. Don’t worry if you still have some stress while you begin the test. Almost everyone feels this because you want to do your best and get a good grade. The key is to accept it and not let worrying about the stress make you even more stressed.

Read the directions. Take a minute to read the test instructions before you get started. 4.. And you won’t have to waste time going back and redoing any work because you don’t understand the directions.

And finally --- one more important thing. Once the test is over, try not to think about it for a while. Instead of worrying about what grade you might get, reward yourself for making it through the test. Hang out with your friends, or spend an afternoon doing something that makes you happy.5.. And more tests will come along soon. So just enjoy the fact that you’re finished with one!
