假如你是某杂志社编辑Mr. Knowledgeable,根据中学生 Bob的来信内容，给他写封回信，帮助解决他所遇到的问题。字数80—100，开头已给出。
Dear Knowledgeable,
My problem is that I can’t get on with my family. My parents always say “no” to my ideas without any reason. So I often quarrel(吵架) with them. Also, my brother is not very nice to me. He always refuses to let me watch my favorite TV show. Instead, he watches whatever he wants until late at night. I don’t think this is fair. At home, I always feel lonely and nervous. Is that normal? What can I do?
Bob
Dear Bob,
Knowledgeable

Things are going great in Cannes(戛纳), France. I have an exciting experience here. I have only been here at the film festival for two days, but I have already seen four films. When the films are not on, I like to go to watch the fashionable people on the beach. Everywhere you look, there are famous film stars and directors. I saw three of my favourite stars hanging out at the festival yesterday. However, I was too nervous to talk to them.
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, about twenty films are competing for the main prize, the Palme d’Or(金棕榈奖). The films are from all over the world—Europe, Asia, North America, Africa…
There are also so many different types of films, and lots of them are from countries which are not famous for the film making business. For someone who loves films, this is heaven(天堂)!
If you come to the festival, the following suggestions will be helpful. First, you’ll need to remember to bring your invitation, because you cannot watch any of the films without one.
Second, you’ll need to bring some nice clothes. During the day everyone walks around in T-shirts and shorts. But in the evening, everyone has to wear formal(正式的) clothes. I am wearing a long dress all the time!

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.
Benjamin Franklin famously founded (创建) America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800’s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1,679 new libraries.
Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily find a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.
Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images(图像) from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧) are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!
