Our library is so large that it covers a wide range of subjects. Various kinds of i
3、nformation can be got in it. Information about society, economy, politics and sciences will give you a fresh mind. Of course, library isn t the only source of information. I can learn much information by other means. Even when talking with my friends I can get a lot of useful information.But informa
4、tion is so immense that we haven t ample energy and time to deal deeply with it. Moreover, some of the information might not be true. So, how to select information is also significant to me.

7、ays, however, it has reached every part of the world. It is the same case with telephone, TV, and a lot of others, which were all luxuries years ago.Anything, no matter how luxurious it is, will become a necessity when it is widely used.

8、 phones, cars, computers and many other things. It is known to all that the purpose of the development of science is to make things easy for the mankind, not for only a small number of people. Therefore, the first thing to do after a new invention occurs is to spread it so as to benefit as many peop
9、le as possible. In the course of the spread, the luxury becomes decreasingly luxurious until in the end it becomes a necessity. This is an objective law, nothing can be an exception.With the quick development of science and technology, the process for many things to become a necessity from a luxury
