Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 27.
Hernando Guanlao loves books, but unlike most bookworms, Hernando has so many that they spill out into the street, where his bookcases and shelves line the road. The reason is that Hernando Guanlao has turned his home in Manila, the Philippines, into his very own public library. In this library for the poor, the only rule is that there are no rules!
The library is open all day and all night, seven days a week. Any passer-by who wants a book just walks up and takes whatever he or she wants. It's all free, they don't need a library card and there are no late fees if they don't return the books within two weeks. In fact, there is no pressure to return them at all! You might think that there would be fewer and fewer books each day, but, amazingly, after starting with around a hundred books, Hernando now has a collection of between two and three thousand - his readers are actually adding their own books to his library!
Hernando launched his Reading Club 2000 over a decade ago to honour his parents, who had recently died. His idea was to encourage reading and create a love of learning. So one day, he placed a small collection of battered books at the side of the road. Passers-by didn't know what to make of it in the beginning. What were all these books doing there? Were they for sale? They soon got the idea, though, and the library now has a steady stream of booklovers, watched over by a proud Hernando.
Hernando is so dedicated to the idea of books for everyone that you can order one and when he gets it, he'll even bring it to your house on his 'book bike'. In the future, he's going to take his collection out on the book bike to the poor villages that either haven't heard of him or can't reach him. In a country where there aren't that many libraries, and you might have to pay to borrow a book, Hernando is a true hero. As Hernando himself says, "You are wasting these books if you put them in a cupboard or a box. A book should be used and reused. It has a life, it has a message."
