Hernando Guanlao loves books, but unlike most bookworms, Hernando has so many that they spill out into the street, where his bookcases and shelves line the road. The reason is that Hernando Guanlao has turned his home in Manila, the Philippines, into his very own public library. In this library for the poor, the only rule is that there are no rules!
The library is open all day and all night, seven days a week. Any passer-by who wants a book just walks up and takes whatever he or she wants. It's all free, they don't need a library card and there are no late fees if they don't return the books within two weeks. In fact, there is no pressure to return them at all! You might think that there would be fewer and fewer books each day, but, amazingly, after starting with around a hundred books, Hernando now has a collection of between two and three thousand - his readers are actually adding their own books to his library!
Hernando launched his Reading Club 2000 over a decade ago to honour his parents, who had recently died. His idea was to encourage reading and create a love of learning. So one day, he placed a small collection of battered books at the side of the road. Passers-by didn't know what to make of it in the beginning. What were all these books doing there? Were they for sale? They soon got the idea, though, and the library now has a steady stream of booklovers, watched over by a proud Hernando.
Hernando is so dedicated to the idea of books for everyone that you can order one and when he gets it, he'll even bring it to your house on his 'book bike'. In the future, he's going to take his collection out on the book bike to the poor villages that either haven't heard of him or can't reach him. In a country where there aren't that many libraries, and you might have to pay to borrow a book, Hernando is a true hero. As Hernando himself says, "You are wasting these books if you put them in a cupboard or a box. A book should be used and reused. It has a life, it has a message."

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 28 to 34.
Few works of art have made such an impact on the world as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Yet why has this painting made such an impression on us? To many people's minds it's because of the lasting power of her unique and enigmatic smile. Smiling is a universal expression that captures our imagination and lifts our spirits; be it the Mona Lisa's mischievous smirk or a loved one's beaming grin, reaching from ear to ear. However, what's in a smile and why do we do it? Scientists are now examining this simple act to reveal its mysterious secrets and powers.
Smiles seem to be as natural to us as breathing. Smiling has been recorded in babies in the womb, as a reflex, just as making the motions of breathing and blinking are. And even blind babies smile when they feel happiness, for example at the sound of their mother's voice. In this context it's not surprising that smiles have a long history in our evolution. In fact, the roots of smiling go all the way back to our primate heritage. Primates often show their teeth to communicate fear or readiness to attack, but our ability to smile most likely developed from how primates also draw back their lips to show closed teeth as a sign of non- aggression.
And yet, smiles are not quite so simple. First of all, there are two kinds of smile involving totally distinct muscle groups. The polite 'social smile' involves muscles around the mouth and the cheeks. Some people think it is not as sincere as the smile that also engages the muscles around the eye area. This kind of smile, the Duchenne smile-named after the scientist who first recognized the difference between the two types-displays real emotional warmth.
While smiles might express various degrees of sincerity, it seems their beneficial effects remain the same regardless. This is because the act of smiling has proven therapeutic benefits and may even be essential for good health. It increases the level of reward neurotransmitters such as dopamine, releases mood- enhancing endorphins, and lowers blood pressure. Charles Darwin, the scientist who developed the theory of evolution, noticed this and postulated that smiling is more than a mere response to positive.
emotions, but is pleasure-inducing in and of itself. These transformative effects are also infectious and can be passed on to others. The people around you will return the smile you give them and then their bodies begin their own cycle of feel-good changes, too.
So, the next time you're unhappy or worried and someone tells you to 'grin and bear it, maybe you should follow their advice, and you might really feel your troubles fly away.
