A man accused of failing to return more than 700 children's books to five different libraries in the county was released from prison after a book publisher agreed to post his bond(保释金)of $1,000. The publisher said, "There's a story here. This is a man who loves books. He just can't let go of them. He hasn't stolen a single book. So what's the crime? We think that Mr Banish has a story to tell. We plan to publish his story."

When asked why he didn't return the books, Mr Banish said, "Well, how could I? They became family to me. I was afraid to return them, because I knew that kids or dogs would get hold of these books and chew them up, throw them around, tear the pages, spill soda on them, get jam and jelly on them, and drown them in the toilet.

He continued, "Books are people, too! They talk to you, they take care of you, and they enrich you with wisdom, humor and love. A book is a guest in my home. How could I kick it out? I repaired torn pages. I dusted them with a soft clean cloth. I turned their pages so they could breathe and get some fresh air."

"Every week I reorganized them on their shelves so they could meet new friends. My books were HAPPY books. You could tell just by looking at them. Now they're all back in the libraries, on the lower shelves, on the floors, at the mercy of all those runny-nosed kids. I can hear them calling me. I need to rescue them. Excuse me. I have to go now."

56. Why was the man put into prison?

A. Because the book publisher persuaded the police to do so.

B. Because he stole 700 children's books from the five different libraries.

C. Because he refused to return the books that he had borrowed.

D. Because he wanted to publish his story.

57. How did the man treat books?

A. He treated them as real people.

B. He treated them as his own children.

C. He treated them as his furniture.

D. He treated them as his job.

58. From the passage we can learn that the man is _______.

A. a thief       B. a writer       C. crazy about books    D. unfortunate

59. What might happen after the man was set free?

A. He might stop borrowing books.

B. He might start a library of his own.

C. He might go on borrowing books from libraries.

Most of us were taught that generosity (慷慨) is about giving freely, and putting others’ needs before our own. Although there is nothing wrong with this definition, it remains somewhat incomplete. To think of generosity only in terms of giving can limit us.

Being truly generous is also about being open to receiving graciously （落落大方地） from others. Allowing others to “give” to us whether it may be a compliment, emotional support or even material help in times of need is, interestingly, the same act of kindness as trying our best to give to others.

Besides, we need to be aware that giving can sometimes be a thinly disguised (伪装的) power trip! It’s time we began to understand generosity as a kind of two-way street.

With all the talk about how “selfish” we are today, it’s pretty amazing to see how many people have real difficulty being able to receive.

There may be at least four reasons why people have trouble receiving. Maybe they simply haven’t learned how to graciously receive a gift or help from others. Or it could be that they don’t want to feel under obligation to the giver. It’s also possible that they consider receiving a weakness, and want to always come across as the strong part of a relationship; to receive, for some, is to admit that they have needs, or are weak, and they find this very hard. Or perhaps, most sadly, they don’t feel they deserve what they receive.

Unfortunately, all of these reasons put the focus on the receiver rather than on the joy of the person giving the gift. But it helps to recall the joy we feel when we ourselves give and to allow others opportunities for experiencing the same joy.

67. The author thinks that receiving _____.

A. is more important than giving                       B. is seldom seen in our daily life

C. means as much as giving does                        D. limits us more than giving

68. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that people usually believe that giving _____.

A. is the obligation of the rich                           B. shows the giver’s powerfulness

C. determines people’s relationship                     D. usually needs to be taught

69. According to the passage, most people have trouble receiving _____.

A. mainly because of their own personality

B. mainly because of their own culture.

C. because they only think of themselves  

D. because they are addicted to giving

70. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Generosity: a two-way street

B. To receive, not to give

C. Give freely, receive occasionally

D. New definition of giving
