初三英语阅读

One of New York’s most beautiful and useful buildings is in danger . The New York Public Library , in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue , may have to close its doors .The library is a very special place . Even though it is in the busiest part of the city , it has grass and trees around it , and chairs for people to sit on . Even more unusual in crowded New York , Its rooms are very large . The roof of the main reading room is fifty-one feet high . Here , a reader can sit and think and work in comfort . And what books there are to work with . The library has over thirty million books and paintings . It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeare poem , a Bible printed by Gutenderb in the 15th century , and a letter written by Columbus in which he tells if finding the new world . Every New Yorker can see and use the free library’s riches .But the cost of running the library has risen fast in these years , and the library does not have enough money to continue its work . In the past , it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays . Now it is closed at those times , to save money . The library is trying in every possible way to raise more money to meet its costs . Well known New York writers and artists are trying to help . So are the universities , whose students use the library , and the governments of New York City . But the problem is still serious . Yet a way must be found to save the library because , as one writer said , “The Public Library is the most important building in New York City --- it contains all our knowledge .”
