逐题讲解
新素材阅读时间！As the sun sets and the city is enveloped in the peaceful cover of night, a new trend(趋势) is rising quietly across China: the 24-hour library. In addition to staying open 24 hours a day, and featuring a wide variety of books, these libraries are equipped with comprehensive study facilities, including water, electricity, power outlets and restrooms. Some even offer soft drink services and dining options.
For Ye, a 25-year-old from Weihai, Shandong, the local 24-hour library is an invaluable resource as she is preparing for the civil service exam. Hired full-time, she finds that traditional library hours do not meet her study needs. “The traditional local libraries usually open at 9 a.m. and close at 10 p.m., which isn't convenient for working people like me. I can only devote myself to studying early in the morning or late at night,” Ye said.
Similarly, Ma, a 20-year-old university student from Anhui Province, often visits a 24-hour library in Huai'an. During long holidays such as the summer and winter vacations, she goes there almost every day, staying for up to nine hours each time to study subjects like computer science, English and law. “This library is very quiet as many people are studying. It encourages me,” Ma noted, although she thought that there is noise sometimes.
A social media user Luo often visits a 24-hour library in Beijing's Xicheng District. “The place is packed with more people reading than working, and others preparing for exams. The atmosphere is quite peaceful,” Luo told the Global Times. “There's a noticeable increase in visitors at night, including seniors with children and professionals, but most go there to read. It feels quite relaxing. Now, besides cafes, there's another place for me to go after work in the evening,” Luo added.
According to a national reading survey in April 2024, the average Chinese adult reads 4.75 physical books and 3.40 e-books in 2023. As of the end of 2023, China boasted 3,246 public libraries with a total collection of 1.44 billion books, marking a 5.6 percent increase from 2022.

A. It's an important part of public education.

2. What is the main reason why Ye chooses to study at the 24-hour library?
