  How long can I keep borrowed material?

  Each time you borrow a book or a video, a date due card will be put in the book or video pocket, telling the day you should return the items to the library. Check this date carefully.

  Some items-such as Hot Video and Hot Book can be kept for one week with no renewals.

  You can keep most other items for three weeks, with two renewals allowed only if there are no holds or bookings on them.

  How can I renew books?

  You can renew items 3 ways:

1.Call the service line at 21226274444.

2.Renew the items yourself on the Internet. Items can be renewed twice if there are no holds on them.

3.Being the item(s) to any branch and take to the Circulation Desk. Most materials except Hot Book and Hot Video copies may be renewed twice for the same period as the original loan, unless another reader has placed a “hold” on the item. You cannot renew the item if it is overdue.

  These two letters appeared in a newspaper. Both writers have their own ideas on zoos.

Zoos Do a Good Job

  It is good to keep animals in zoos. I know a lot of people think it is wrong to keep animals in zoos. However, I believe that zoos have many good points.

  Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds of animals from all the world. Without zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.

  Secondly, zoos look after the animals very well. The animals are given food and cleaned regularly(定期). In the wild, it is not always possible for an animal to find food, so sometimes it goes hungry. But animals kept in zoos never go hungry.

  Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they look after. They offer them safe places to live in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of becoming extinct(灭绝). But zoos give these animals a chance to live on. Without zoos, there would be fewer kinds of animals in the world.

Maria Smith

Zoos Are Unnatural

  In Maria's letter, she says that zoos are good for animals. I'm afraid that zoos are not good for animals, they are only good for people.

  It is unnatural and unfair to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel freely. In zoos, they can't do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad.

  Most cages are not very clean, either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but this is not natural. Wild animals are used to looking for their own food. We should treat animals in the same way that we treat other people-with respect. Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn't. And animals don't like it, either.

  One Friday morning in San Francisco, Robert Parley, a baby, was sleeping in his bed. The family pet, a dog, was asleep on the floor beside the baby's bed. Mrs Parley was busy with her housework. Suddenly an earthquake rocked the city.

  Mrs Parley said she felt as if she was in a storm at sea. She tried hard, to reach the baby's room, but the house broke in two, dropping her to the first floor and leaving the baby's bed hanging on the edge of the two-story house.

  Mrs Parley tried to climb to the second floor, but she couldn't because she had broken her leg. She shouted to the dog, Cody, to get the baby. The dog jumped into Robert's bed and carefully grabbed the baby in his mouth. The dog then jumped out of the bed with the baby, just as the bed crashed to the first floor.

  Mrs Parley called the police on her mobile phone and half an hour later, they climbed to the second floor to get the dog and the baby. The police said baby Robert didn't cry at all.
