The games have grown enormously in scale and reached unprecedented heights. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about their standard. Instead of Olympia, the modern games are now held in different cities all over the world. Inevitably politics and commercialism get involved as countries vie each other for(为...而互相竞争) the to hold the games because of the political his Nazi propaganda.

A bookless life is an incomplete life. Books influence the depth and breadth of life. They meet the natural desire for freedom, for expression, for creativity and beauty of life. Learners, therefore, must have books, and the right type of book, for the satisfaction of their need. Readers turn naturally to books because their curiosity concerning all manners of things, their eagerness to share in the experiences of others and their need to escape from their own limited environment lead them to find in books food for the mind and the spirit. Through their reading they find a deeper significance to life as books acquaint them with life in the world as it was and it is now. They are presented with a diversity of human experiences and come to respect other ways of thought and living. And while establishing their own relationships and responses to life, the readers often find that the characters in their stories are going through similar adjustments, which help to clarify and give significance to their own.

Books provide abundant material for readers’ imagination to grow. Imagination is a valuable quality and a motivating power, and stimulates achievement. While enriching their imagination, books widen their outlook, develop a fact-finding attitude and train them to use leisure properly. The social and educational significance of the readers’ books cannot be overestimated in an academic library.
