The New York Public Library, in the heart of the city at 42nd Street and 5th Avenue, may have to close its door. The library is a very special place. Even though it is in the busiest part of the city, it has grass and trees around it, and benches for people to sit on. Even more unusual in crowded New York, its rooms are very large. The roof of the main reading room is fifty-one feet high. Here, the readers can sit and think and work in comfort. The library has over thirty million books and paintings. It owns one of the first copies of a Shakespeares play, a Bible printed by Gutenberg in the 15th century and a letter written by Columbus in which he told the finding of the new world. Every New Yorker can see and use the librarys riches free. But the cost of running the library has risen rapidly in recent years, and the library does not have enough money to continue its work. In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays. Now it is closed at those times to save money. The library is trying in every possible way to raise more money to meet its increasing costs. Well-known New York writers and artists are trying to help it, so are the universities, whose students use the library, and the governments of New York City and New York State. But the problem remains serious. Yet a way must be found to save the library because as one writer said, “The Public Library is the most important building in New York City — it contains all our knowledge.” 1．When is the library open now? A. Its open every day from morning to evening. B. Its open every day except Sunday from morning to evening. C. Its open every day except weekends from morning to evening. D. Its closed every evening. 答案与解析　C　细节理解题。第五段第二句“In the past, it was open every evening and also on Saturdays and Sundays.
