Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题)
Every Saturday morning, Helen Myers opens the door of the little library in Ellisville, Illinois. She raises the flag outside, sits down with a book and waits for people to come. “If I have two people come in, it’s a big crowd,” says Myers, 77.
The old lady has kept the library for more than 40 years in an old small building. It all began in June 1966, when Myers opened her library with 400 books from her home shelves. At that time, she took care of a boys’ community service group. “One of the boys noticed that I had a lot of books, and he said, ‘I sure wish we could have a library here in town.’” Myers remembers. That’s all she needed.
Today, people don’t read much. They watch TV and play video games. But that doesn’t stop Myers from opening her library every Saturday to share her love of books. The library has always been Myers’ favorite project. In the 1970s, when the old building was too dangerous to stay in, she began saving money for a new building.
She sells homemade cookies, and the money pays the bills for the library. As the news about the country’s smallest library spreads, donations began coming in. With the donations and her own savings, Myers built Ellisville Library II, which opened in October 2003. The new library has 3500 donated books, new and used.
Many times, Myers opens and closes the library and sees no one. “My daughter said, ‘Mom, why don’t you give up?’” Myers says, “I said, ‘No. Somebody, some day, may read. Who knows? A future president of the United States may come in and get a book.’”
The library doesn’t have a lot of readers, does it?
How many books did the library have when it opened in 1966?
What does Myers do to pay the bill for the library?
Why did she need a new building for the library?
Where did the money for the new building come from?
If you are Myers, what will you do? Why?

It is one of my favourite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is hardly ever crowded, because people know about it, so it is not usually necessary to book a table. In any case, Thursday is not a busy evening as a rule.
When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised to find it completely . I looked around but not a single table was free. One of the waiters recognized me. He came across and explained the situation. “A party of tourists came in about half an hour ago.” he said. “ It was like an invasion (入侵)! the place was full! We can hardly manage.”
The waiter then pointed to a table in the corner. “The people there are about to leave,” he said, “Just hold on and you’ll find a place there.” He was right. Fifteen minutes later, the people at the corner table paid their bill, got up and left. I led my friends across and we all sat down.
Unfortunately our table was almost out of sight. We to attract the attention of the waiter who sent us there, but he, like all the other waiters, was kept busy with the party of tourists. They ordered lots of food. But at last, an hour later, the tourists were finishing their meal and looking very pleased with life. The waiter now very tired, appeared at our table, I advised my friends about the best dished and finally the waiter went off with our .
