Meals and drinks are served on the trains, and there are common areas for socializing.

Jose started rescuing books from the trash almost 20 years ago, when he was driving a garbage truck at night through the country’s wealthier neighborhoods. The rejected reading material slowly piled up, and now the ground floor of his small house is a temporary community library piled from floor to ceiling with some 20, 000 books, ranging from chemistry textbooks to children’s classics. He says books are luxuries for boys and girls in low-income neighborhoods such as his, with new reading material at bookstores too expensive. There are 19 public libraries in Bogota, but they tend to be located far away from poorer areas. “Books are our salvation and that is what Colombia needs,” says Jose. The 53-year-old Jose has a love of reading he attributes(归因于) to his mother, who always read to him even though she was too poor to keep him in school. “She used to read me stories every night,” said Jose, “To me, books are the greatest invention and the best thing that can happen to a human being.” Jose still searches through the rubbish for additions to his library though he is very famous in Columbia. Jose is also a greedy reader of works by famous authors. He says he doesn’t reject technology that allows books to be read digitally, but says he prefers to read the printed word on paper. “There’s nothing more beautiful than having a book in your pocket, in your bag or inside your car,” he says. 24. How did Jose start his library? A. By receiving textbooks from kids. B. By collecting rejected books from garbage. C. By rescuing used books from public libraries. D. By getting donated books from local communities. 25. What is the barrier to public libraries in Bogota for kids in poorer areas? A. High cost. B. Limited access. C. Bad location. D. Long distance. 26. Why did Jose quit school? A. He hoped to found a library for poor kids. B. He loved to stay at home studying alone. C. His family couldn’t afford his tuition fees. D. His mother taught him at home every night. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Jose gains fame for collecting trash. B. Jose has become a well-known author. C. Jose takes an objective attitude to digital books. D. Jose prefers to read pocket books inside
