四、阅读理解
What comes to your mind when you see the word "librarian"? Many people may say, "They are people who organize books in a library." But is organizing books the librarians' only job? What else do these people do? We spoke with Kathryn Bergeron, who works at a public library in America, to find the answer.
Q:
A: Librarians must make sure the books are on the right shelves. We also do things like ordering new books, helping readers find the materials they need and teaching people how to use new technologies.
Q: How long do you work every week?
A: Most librarians work 40 hours a week. Those in management often work more than that. There are day shifts(轮班)and night shifts.And we often have to work on weekends.
Q: How has your job changed over the years?
A: The internet is both our best friend and our worst enemy(敌人). Many people say librarians are dying out because the internet has become widely used. But not everything on the internet is true. I think people will always need libraries and librarians. I actually find the internet to be great for librarians. It gives us a chance to get rid of some books and play with our space. We can turn our library into a place for people to learn, communicate and create.
Q: What's the worst part of your job?
A: Librarians have to carry out the library rules. Often, this is a usual job. "Please put your shoes on, sir." "You can't sleep in the library." "Yes, you were snoring(打呼噜)." But some people are rude(粗鲁的)。They will shout at me when I tell them they have broken the rules. I know I am not a hero to everybody else in the room. However, it makes me feel really blue when some people call me names as I am doing my duty.

A. not everything on the internet is true

【分析】
1. 第1题：先观察答语内容，答语介绍了图书管理员日常要完成的多项工作，包括整理书籍、订购新书、协助读者、教授新技术等，所以问题应是询问日常主要工作，结合选项可判断正确答案。
2. 第2题：定位到文中关于“图书管理员是否会消失”的段落，找到Bergeron的观点表述，她提到“not everything on the internet is true”，并表明人们始终需要图书馆和管理员，由此确定原因。
3. 第3题：在最后一段的答语中，找到描述Bergeron感受的句子“it makes me feel really blue”，结合语境可知“blue”在这里表示难过的情绪，对应选项中的相关表述。

2. 第2题：根据文中“Many people say librarians are dying out because the internet has become widely used. But not everything on the internet is true. I think people will always need libraries and librarians.”可知，Bergeron认为图书管理员不会消失是因为网上的信息并非都是真实的，人们仍需要图书馆和管理员，对应选项A。
3. 第3题：文中最后一段提到“However, it makes me feel really blue when some people call me names as I am doing my duty.”，“blue”在此处表示“难过的”，与选项C“sad（难过的）”意思一致，故选C。
