In 1638, John Harvard donated some money and about four hundred books to a new university. This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University. The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard.

Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. He set up more than 30 or these libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin Franklin and some friends started the first subscription library in the United States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they may borrow the books without paying again.

In the United States, every child had a free education. This idea soon led to free libraries. One of the first libraries that used tax money to buy books was a library in Peterborough, New Hampshire. This library was set up in 1833.

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school. He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students， “Who would like this ￥100 bill？” The students began to put up their hands at once.

Then he said， “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you， but first， let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said， “Who wants it now？” The hands went back into the air.

“Well，” he said， “What if I do this？” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty， crumpled bill and said， “Who still wants it？” Hands went back into the air.

“My friends，” he said， “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter （无论） what I did to the money， you still wanted it because it did not go down in value （价值）。 It was still worth ￥ l00！”

Many times in our lives， we are dropped， crumpled， and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember， no matter what has happened to you， you will never lose your value： you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know， but WHO YOU ARE.

You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it！

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose（组成）sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs, so as to write a good letter or composition.

There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is of great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meaning. We learn words not by ourselves, but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

46. The word “confidence” here probably means _____.

A. use        B. eyes      C. need     D. feeling sure of ourselves

47. The writer advises us to _______.

A. speak more and write more

D. use a dictionary

48. The first step in learning a language is ______.

A. reading       B. speaking       C. writing      D. listening

49. Words should be learned _____.

A. from a dictionary                                  B. from a textbook

C. in sentences                                 D. from a good grammar book

50. “Learn through use “is to say that ______.

A. we must practise speaking and writing
