Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest（牧师）in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.
John Medcalf, the priest，was moved. He also realized that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books，they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.
But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other method could be used?
Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot（赤脚）doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians（图书管理员）first appeared in the villages of northern Peru，almost thirty years ago.
The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rura1 Library Network of Peru.
At first，they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village elders took on the job themselves.
Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.

3.The passage doesn't mention
A, when the barefoot librarians appeared
B. who worked as village librarians at first
C. where Medcalf met Chinese doctors
D. how many village libraries Peru has today
4.It can be inferred（推断）from the passage that ．

B. car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo's village
C. teachers were interested in bringing books to villagers
D. the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries
Cat cafes to open in Toronto and Montreal
THESTAR，TORONTO
Soon, people in Toronto may be able to enjoy a hot chocolate or a coffee in a "cat cafe". Two groups of people in the city are trying to raise enough money to open cat cafes.
The idea is simple： a cafe for humans一with lots of cats around. People will be able to pet the cats while they're sipping their coffee. There are already cat cafes in places like England, France and in Asia like in Japan, South Korea and China.
Jennifer Morozowich plans to open her Kitty Cat Cafe in September. She told The Toronto Star that it will have six to fifteen cats. Morozowich is a cat lover who says that cats help to reduce people's pressure（压力）．She is also planning to hold special "Litter-ature" events, with the Dundas West Animal Hospital, at her cafe, with kids reading to the cats.
Some experts（专家）say that reading to animals helps kids learn to read better because animals enjoy hearing the human voice and kids don’t have to feel worried about making mistakes while they're reading.
Another cat cafe, Pet Me Meow, will be open in autumn if Ashkan Rahimi and Jeff Ro have their way. They are trying to raise money to open a place where cats will live, and[people can come in and buy a coffee and hang out with the cats.
Both sets of possible tale owners will have to make sure their cafes are very clean. The City of Toronto has many rules that people have to follow who want to serve food to humans when there are animals nearby. For example, the animal boxes need to be in a separate space away from the eating area.
The cafe owners will get the cats from rescue shelters（救护所）．If the coffee drinkers fall in love with a certain cat, they may be able to take it home.
The Toronto cat rates won't be Canada's first. Happy Cat Cafe, is opening in July in Montreal.
