问题     Henry Richardson s working in an important library. His job is to give new life to old books.
    Richardson has saved(挽救) the lives of many books.His first job is to wash the pages. He takes off the old cover, and places each page in water. Then he carefully puts each one between sheets(纸张) of paper to dry. Some of the pages may be very thin or have missing parts. Richard-son mends these while they are still wet. He places each one on a heavy sheet(块) of glass. Then he carefully puts small pieces of paper on the places which need mending. These pieces of paper are very thin.They look like part of the old paper.
    The washed pages are now white and clean. The pages are put together again in the old cover. At times, only the front and back parts of the old cover can be used. Sometimes a whole new cover must be made. Now the stronger, cleaner, and "newer" book s returned to the library, once again ready for use.
Why should old books be saved?

选项 A、Because they give us a lot of information.
B、Because they are very interesting.
C、Because they may be the only copy.

答案C

解析 句意:为何要拯救旧书?细节题。从原文第一段最后一句“Many of these books are very old or are the only copy in the world.”可知拯救旧书的原因是许多书相当古老,或者是世上仅有的孤本。C项符合题意。
