President John Adams started the library in 1800 for members of Congress.He wanted them to be able to red books about law.The first 740 books were bought in England. They were simply set up in the room where Congress met. Then Thomas Jefferson sold Congress many of his own books He felt Congress should have books on all subjects, not just on law. This idea changed the library fundamentally. The library grew and grew. Now it covers acres of land. It has 20 million books as well as scores of pictures,movies, globes and machines. Experts in every field work there. Hundreds of people call every day with all kinds of questions. Many of them get answers right over the phone.
The library is a huge storehouse. Thomas Edison's first movie and Harry Houdini's magic books reside there. And it is the proud owner of the world's best collection of comic books.

The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in a test. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. (3) ___ According to their scans, friends who watched the same video reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation(动机), learning and memory.(4)
"Seeing one's friends have similar behaviors will reinforce(强化)one's own values,opinions,and interests, "lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.(5) ____ Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany,found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone.The scientists did a test with first﹣year college students the first time they met in class. In this test, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.
A. Now, there is some science behind this idea. B. If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person. C. Friends share a lot of similarities, though there are some differences. D. But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship. E. However, people who weren't friends had different reactions to the same videos. F.
