Off_came_the_suit_coat_he_had_worn_to_church_that_morning._Up_went_the_shirtsleeves._On_went_that_apron. For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing songs like“Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphys Chowder”？I suppose it was strange for a father to wear an aproneven one with race carsbut I never thought much of it until that Sunday when we walked home from church together.“Tommy”， he said，“There comes a time in every boys life when he must take on responsibilities” “Responsibilities？” I asked. “Yes. Its time you took a greater role in the household. Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can relax.” “The dishes？” “Anything wrong with taking over the dishes？”I started to say something about a mans job, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.I didnt taste a bit of breakfast that morning. My father announced to my mother, “Lets go to read the paper, honey.Our oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”So this was what my life had come to.People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. Itll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could do anything, he had put that apron on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper.

For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to the desktop that the present Internet may seem amateurish in retrospect. Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without denying access to those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the manuscript with three different light sources(revealing detail not normally apparent to the naked eye) and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to peruse(细读). Tokyos National Diet Library is similarly creating highly detailed digital photographs of 1，236 woodblock prints, scrolls and other materials it considers national treasures so that researchers can scrutinize them without handling the originals.A second benefit is convenience. Once books are converted to digital form, patrons can retrieve them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can simultaneously read the same book or view the same picture. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could conceivably use the Internet to land their virtual collections to those who are unable to visit in person.The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. Expanding library buildings is increasingly costly. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million booksan average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, in contrast, has fallen to about $2 per 300page publication and continues to drop.15The best title for this passage would be “_”AThree Benefits of LibrariesBLibraries Going DigitalCSpacesaving ElearningDSecurity of Electronic Reading16Which paragraph(s) in the text offer(s) further explanation of the central idea?AParagraphs 2, 3 and 4 BParagraphs 3 and 4CParagraphs 2 and 4 DParagraph 417Which one of the following is mentioned as an advantage of elibraries?AOld manuscripts can be moved more easily.BMaterials can be examined without being touched.CFewer staff will be required in libraries.DLibraries will be able to move underground.18What does the word “scrutinize” probably mean?AKeep for a while.
