所HUHAN LIBRARYWhy do you go to the library？ For books， yes--but you like books because they tell stories． You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life． At one type of library， you can do just that--even though there's not a single book． At a Human Library， instead of books， you can "borrow" people． Individuals volunteer as human "books" and participants in the event can "read" the book--meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual's experience． "Books" are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination （歧视） based on race， religion， class， gender identity， age， lifestyle choices， disability and other aspects of their life For a certain amount of time， you can ask them questions and listen to their stories， which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book． Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype． You can speak with a refugee （难民）， a soldier suffering from PTSD， a homeless person or a woman living with HIV． The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs-to truly get to know， and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about． According to its website， the Human Library is "a place where difficult questions are expected， appreciated and answered．" It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community． The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen， Denmark in 2000． Ronni Abergel， his brother Dany， and some colleagues hosted a four-day during a major Northern European festival， hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth． After the success of this event， Abergel founded the Human Library Organization， which has been growing ever since． Though there are a few permanent human libraries， most aren't places at all， but events． Though many do take place at physical libraries， you don't need a library card-anyone can come and be part of the experience． There have been human library events all over the globe， in universities and in pubs， from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio． The stories these "books" tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between． And that's the very point of the organization--to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word． It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover---or by its title or label．（1）The "books" in human libraries are ____ ．A． long-held beliefs attracting individualsB． inspiring stones motivating people in troubleC． events in which people can talk to volunteersD． unfairly-treated people sharing their experiences（2）The event in Copenhagen is significant because it ____ ．A． aimed to help the young suffering from violenceB． attempted to replace traditional physical librariesC． laid a foundation for the Human Library OrganizationD． led to a pleasing development for the community with racism（3）In human libraries， the readers are likely to ____ ．A． deepen their understanding of peopleB． enrich their own personal experiencesC． hear the stories from all over the worldD． make quick judgments about the "books"（4）The main purpose of the passage is to ____ ．A． compare and evaluateB． inform and explainC． discuss and persuadeD． analyze and suggest

Why do you go to the library？ For books， yes--but you like books because they tell stories． You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else's life． At one type of library， you can do just that--even though there's not a single book．
    At a Human Library， instead of books， you can "borrow" people． Individuals volunteer as human "books" and participants in the event can "read" the book--meaning they would have a one-on-one conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual's experience． "Books" are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination （歧视） based on race， religion， class， gender identity， age， lifestyle choices， disability and other aspects of their life
    For a certain amount of time， you can ask them questions and listen to their stories， which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book． Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype． You can speak with a refugee （难民）， a soldier suffering from PTSD， a homeless person or a woman living with HIV． The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own long-held beliefs-to truly get to know， and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about．
    According to its website， the Human Library is "a place where difficult questions are expected， appreciated and answered．" It provides the opportunity for the community to share and understand the experiences of others in their community．
    The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen， Denmark in 2000． Ronni Abergel， his brother Dany， and some colleagues hosted a four-day during a major Northern European festival， hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth． After the success of this event， Abergel founded the Human Library Organization， which has been growing ever since．
    Though there are a few permanent human libraries， most aren't places at all， but events． Though many do take place at physical libraries， you don't need a library card-anyone can come and be part of the experience． There have been human library events all over the globe， in universities and in pubs， from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio．
    The stories these "books" tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between． And that's the very point of the organization--to prove that no person can be summed up in just one word． It seeks to show people that you truly can't judge a book by its cover---or by its title or label．
