Nobody likes to be watched while they’re reading a book，but we’ re willing to make an exception (例外) if it means getting to visit this very splendid new library in China， because the building structure has a big object in the middle that looks just like a big eye.
Located in the Binhai Cultural District in Tianjin，the five-storey library, which was designed by a Dutch design firm together with the Tianjin Urban Planning and Design Institute, has since been called “The Eye of Binhai〞. It covers 34,000 square metres and can hold up to 1.2 million books.
But there’s a catch： its swirling (旋转的) bookshelves don’t actually hold thousands of books. Look closer and you’ll notice that the shelves are printed with digital book images. About 200,000 real books are available in other rooms of the library, but the main room is mainly designed for socialization and reading.
Taking just three years to complete, the library includes a reading area on the ground floor, lounge areas(公一共休息区) in the middle sections and offices，meeting spaces, and computer/audio rooms at the top. Although we’re not sure how much studying we’d get done, we’d be far too busy appreciating the awesome architecture!

The world of flamenco(弗拉门柯舞) interests me greatly. That is why I decided to find out more about it, to discover more about where it comes from.
Flamenco is originally from Andalusia，a region in southern Spain. It was originally the dance of Spanish gypsies (吉普赛人) who came to southern Spain through Iran, Iraq, Greece and Turkey. The gypsies used all of these different cultures to create the flamenco dance and music.
The gypsies were very different from the Spaniards. They spoke their own language. Their clothes were also different，and for these reasons Spanish society tried not to accept them.
The gypsies used Moorish，Jewish and African influences to form flamenco. Flamenco music
However, it was in Jerez de la Frontera that the gypsies managed to find their place. They managed to integrate(交融) into society and were more accepted by the Spaniards.
I spent a year in Cadiz, a city famous for its flamenco. There were so many opportunities to see flamenco shows. Their style of flamenco is known for having a more cheerful style, which I enjoyed.
What I really like about flamenco is the beautiful clothes the women wear. They are often red and flowing and the women often wear a red flower in their hair. The flamenco movements show lots of passion and energy, and I like the way the dancers’ shoes make a “clacking〞sound on the floor as they dance.

A. They were influenced by different cultures.
B. They refused to make any change in Spain.
C. They made a living in Spain by doing music.
D. They were accepted by Spaniards immediately.
33. What does the underlined phrase “get by〞 most probably mean?
A. Move abroad.
B. Manage to survive.
C. Dance around.
D. Become richer.
34. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?
A. Flamenco music was very joyful.
B. Flamenco is famous for its clothes.
C. Flamenco is a product of Spanish culture.
D. Flamenco was rooted in gypsies’ daily life.
