15．If you put all the books you own on the street outside your house，you might expect them to disappear immediately．But one man，Hernando Guanlao in Manila，tried it and found that his collections grew．
He's a lovely man in his early 60s，with one ever-lasting love-books．They're his pride and joy，because，whether he likes it or not，they seem to be taking over his house．Guanlao has set up a"library"outside his home in central Manila．Readers can take as many books as they want，for as long as they want．As Guanlao says，"The only rule is that there are no rules．"
You might consider it would end very quickly．But in fact，in the 12years he's been running his library．He's found that his collection has grown rather than become smaller，as more and more people help the activity．"It seems to me that the books are speaking to me，"he says with a smile，"The books are telling me they want to be read．"
Guanlao started his library in 2000，shortly after the death of his parents．He was looking for something to honor their memory，and that was when he hit upon the idea of promoting the reading habit passed on to him from his parents．So he put the books outside the door of his house to see if anyone wanted to borrow them．They did，and they brought the books back with others to add to the collection．The library was born．The library is not advertised，but somehow，every day，a steady stream of people find their way there．
To help the poorest communities in Manila，Guanlao doesn't wait for them to find him on his"book bike"．He wants to set up a"book boat"，traveling around the islands of Sulu and Basilan．As we sat outside Hernando Guanlao's house in the midday sun，watching people look through his collection，he thought it was worth spending all his time．

解答 答案：41-45 DCCBD
41．D 細節推理題 根據第一段"But one man，Hernando Guanlao in Manila，tried it and found that his collections grew．但是，在馬尼拉，一個名為Hernando Guanlao的人，試著將他的書放在家門外的大街上，發現他的收藏品（書）變多了．"可知，"D．put all his books in the open air他將書放在了露天里"符合此處的表達，故選D
42．C 細節理解題 根據第二段"Readers can take as many books as they want，for as long as they want．As Guanlao says，"The only rule is that there are no rules．"讀者想拿走多少書或想拿走多長時間都可以．正如Guanlao所說：唯一的規則是沒有規則．"可知，在那里讀者可以自由地閱讀；故選C
43．C 推理判斷題 根據第三段"You might consider it would end very quickly．But in fact，in the 12years he's been running his library你可能會認為這很快就會結束．但事實上，12年里他一直運作著他的圖書館"可知，圖書館能持續存在這么長的時間是超乎人們想到；故選C

45．D 段落大意題 文中最后一段講到Guanlao想通過為馬尼拉最貧窮的地區送書來幫助他們閱讀，他認為值得用他一生的時間來為讀者服務．因此選項可知，"D．Guanlao's efforts for his library．Guanlao為圖書館付出的努力"符合文中的意思；故選D
