山西运城市2016高考英语阅读理解二轮训练（5）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项。some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. i would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the days events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. i did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but i gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. after all, isnt accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?when i was thirteen years old, i went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. during the trip, i was busy recording every incident, name and place i came across. i felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. on my last night there, i wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. the sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. i automatically took out my penat that point, i understood that nothing i wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds i allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. all i remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations i had set down in my diary.now, i only write in my diary when i need to write down a special thought or feeling. i still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. i take pictures, but not very often-only of objects i find really beautiful. im no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when i grow old. i realize that life will simply pass me by if i stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.i dont want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. maybe i wont have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe ill forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. i dont live to make memories-i just live, and the memories form themselves.26. before thirteen, the author regarded keeping a

and sheltered from the florida sun by its own roof. about the size of a microwave oven, its pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in palm beach country estates, along the northern boundary of palm beach gardens.its a library built with love.a year ago, shortly after janey henriksen saw a brian williams report about the little free library organization, a wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “thats what were going to do for our spring break!”son austin, now a 10th-grader, didnt see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. but janey insisted, and husband peter unwillingly got to work. the 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that hed built years earlier for daughter abbies toy horses, and made a door of glass. after adding the librarys final touches (装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book,” and making the henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only little free library in palm beach county.they stocked it with 20 or so books theyd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids favorites. “i told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again,” said janey, a stay-at-home mom.since then, the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. the library now gets an average of five visits a day.the projects best payoff, says peter, are the thank-you notes left behind. “we had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.” 31. in what
