把图书馆书弄丢了？没关系，还一张猫猫照片就行！

Worcester Public Library in Massachusetts has promised to forgive fees on lost or damaged books all month long on one condition: people need to show the staff a photo of a cat. It doesn’t have to be their cat, either. It could be any cat, really, as the library said it would “accept honorary cats as well, so you may show us a picture or drawing of a dog, raccoon, orca, capybara, or any other animal.”

“Today is the day! We’ve got one month of fee forgiveness for lost or damaged WPL items! Show us a picture of your cat, a famous cat, a picture you drew of a cat — any cat, and we will forgive WPL fees on your account,” the library shared in a post online.

There are a few rules, though. For example, the lost or damaged items must be owned by the Worcester Public Library and considered lost for at least two months before any fees can be waived. Additionally, the library explained that some items would be excluded (排除) from the promotion and that forgiveness “will be given at the discretion of library staff,” among other notes in a full statement shared on its website.

Along with the dropped fees, the library scheduled programs for people to get involved with two local animal rescues — Worcester Animal Rescue League and Second Chance Animal Services — by setting up a day to de-stress and interact with shelter cats and organizing another dedicated to making DIY cat toys that participants could either bring home to their own pet or donate to the Worcester Animal Rescue League. Of course, the library also encouraged readers to “check out some cat titles” to continue learning about the adorable creatures.

So far, the “Felines for Fee Forgiveness” has helped about 400 people restore access to their library accounts, according to Jason Homer, the executive director of the library. Homer also told local news media on Monday that the staff is “feline good” about this initiative.

1.In which condition can people’s WPL fees be forgiven?

A Showing the staff a photo of their cat.

B Bringing a famous cat to the staff.

C Showing an animal picture to the staff.

D Donating their cats to the library.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。根据第一段的“on one condition: people need to show the staff a photo of a cat”和“accept honorary cats as well, so you may show us a picture or drawing of a dog, raccoon, orca, capybara, or any other animal”可知，人们可以用猫猫照片来抵换书籍丢失和损坏的费用，且不管是不是自己的猫都可以，图书馆甚至愿意接受“荣誉猫猫”的照片，不管是狗、浣熊、虎鲸、水豚，或者任何其它动物的照片都行。故选C。

2.What does the underlined word “waived” mean?

A Forgiven.

B Purchased.

C Accused.

D Fetched.

解析：选A。A词义猜测题。根据划线部分前文“There are a few rules, though.”可知，丢失或损坏的物品必须归图书馆所有，并被视为丢失至少两个月，这样才能免除（forgive）任何费用。故选A。

3.What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A Interactions with shelter cats.

B Ways to increase fees.

C The library’s programs.

D The program’s rules.

解析：选C。C段落大意题。该段主要讲了图书馆安排了一些项目，让人们参与当地的两项动物救援活动。故选C。

4.What’s the staff’s attitude to the program?

A Neutral.

B Uncaring.

C Opposed.

D Positive.

解析：选D。D推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Homer also told local news media on Monday that the staff is ‘feline good’ about this initiative.”可知，荷马周一还透露，工作人员对这一举措“非常满意”。故选D。
