Liyuan Library
Liyuan Library (篱苑书屋), known as one of China's most beautiful bookstores, is located in a small hillside village near Beijing.
The project, designed by architect Li Xiaodong, was built with 40,000 wooden sticks. In the village, Li found large amounts of wooden sticks piled around each house. The villagers gather these sticks all year round to fuel their cooking stoves (炉子). Thus they decided to use this o___1___ material in a special way.
“This project is about the relationship of a building to the surroundings and i___2___ role (角色) in serving the community (社区), rather than a building as an individual object,” Li told the visitors.

A new bus s___3___ has opened close by for the frequent visits by thousands of people, including local villagers, tourists from the Beijing urban area, and many international visitors as well.
“Everybody is f___4___ to visit,” explained Li. “However, visitors are encouraged to bring two books to the library, and take one back home from the collection in order to keep the place a center of k___5___ exchange.”
Instead of adding a new building in the village, they chose this site in the nearby mountains, a pleasant five-minute walk from the village center. In doing so, they could p___6___ a place for clear thoughts when one takes the effort to head for the reading room.
Li described his practice in the following way: “We try to m___7___ technology, community, local materials, modern thinking and a traditional sense of identity together.”

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:（12分）
Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a coffee shop to drink a cup of coffee. It was a tiny store with little round tables and chairs.
As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a table near the door. Her back was so badly twisted that her face nearly touched the table-top. I sat down facing her two tables away.
“Poor woman,” I thought. “What does she get out of life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime(鼎盛时期)?”
As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were talking about childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years… In minutes the two of them were trembling (颤抖) with laughter.
I looked again at the first woman, then in the mirror on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself.
I was wearing a dirty shirt.
She was well dressed in white, gold rings on her fingers.
I was in low spirits. She was laughing, smiling.
I was putting the pieces of my life together. She had millions of wonderful memories to recall.
She was old but it wasn’t hurting her.
As I left the shop, I thought of my foolish questions about God letting People past their prime. Why, that woman was more alive, more sensitive than I was. Age has not bent her spirit (精神).
