in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have bee “beat and sad” slowly and secretly.Some people even called it “the Beat Culture”The “Beat” youths dont want to do anything.They have no purpose, no desire and they are totally depressed so that they only want to live an aimless life.The “Ge You slouch (葛優(yōu)癱)” and the song I feel like having been drained are the examples.Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into embracing positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence.This is really a kind gesture.However, we dont have to worry too much about this “Beat Culture.” In fact, its not a negative thing.“Beat” never means despair, but a way of selfmockery (自嘲) and pressure relief.In general, the youths in China are not “beat”According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold positive attitude towards the future.29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard, you can have your own day”Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and puter.pared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic (悲觀的)Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of “the Beat Culture”As urbanization develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never encountered before.Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get hold of the young people.Without proper care, they could threaten our mentality and cause many social problems.These problems probably need our attention

And do we really still need libraries now weve got the Internet in our hands?Reporter Ian Clark has the answer.“Libraries are not declining in importance people are simply changing the way they use them，” he wrote on the Guardian website.What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the havenots”， according to website Libraries Are Essential.Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone knows how to search the Internet correctly and efficiently, its public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.And one of the pitfalls that e with online materials is that theyre not always reliable.“Google doesnt tell you what youre not getting, so people need to evaluate the quality and pleteness of what they see on their screens，” Sarah Pritchard, dean of libraries at Northwestern University, told Northwestern Research Magazine.And libraries are usually where that “evaluation happens”But all of these practical functions aside, we still need the physical space that a library provides.Its something thats called a “third place”， according to the Seattle Times.This is a place in which we can fully concentrate on our study and work without easily getting distracted.And pared to other “third places” like coffee shops, libraries have a “nonmercial nature” that allows you to relax pletely.“Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library.There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices，” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University in New Zealand, wrote on the Newsroom website.“There are few other spaces that you can just be without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”語篇解讀：天津濱海公共圖書館成了網(wǎng)紅。各大媒體爭相報道，并解釋為何在當(dāng)今數(shù)字時代，實體圖書館依然需要存在的原因以及意義。8Which of the following words best describe “Tianjin B
