   If you're a book lover,you will have a pile of books at your bedside,or a bookshelf in your library with a "to read" sign on it. Yet you can't stop yourself from adding to the pile. This can lead to feelings of guilt(自责)over your new purchases. But I'm here to tell you to stop worrying.

What you have is an antilibrary,and it's a very good thing. The term comes from writer Umberto Eco. He is the owner of a large personal library. He separates visitors into two groups: those who react with "Wow!What a library you have!How many of these books have you read?"and the others who get the point that a private library is not something to show off(发耀)but a research tool. Books you have read are far less valuable than unread ones. Indeed,the more you know,the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection an antilibrary.

If you think you already know everything about a subject,you're cutting yourself off from a stream of information at an artificial point. So a growing library of books you haven't read means you're consistently curious about the unknown. And that attitude is a great basis of a lifelong love of learning.

So don't feel guilty about your unread books. Those hooks will be there for you when you do want them,and as you build your library of books you have read and unread books,you can start using it as you would use a bigger library. Certain books may become references. Or you may find that a book you bought five years ago has special relevance(相关性)today. Letting the role of books evolve in your life is a healthy sign of curiosity. That's good for you and good for the world around you.

【小题1】What does the underlined word "antilibrary" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Feelings of guilt over new books.
B.A pile of books on the bookshelf.
C.The collection of unread books.
D.A large personal library.
【小题2】According to the author, more unread books mean ______________.
A.your wrong lifelong learning attitude
B.you limit yourself from the unknown
C.you have no interest in the new world
D.your strong desire about new information
【小题3】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Curiosity is a sign of high IQ.
B.Books are the ladder of human progress.
C.Unread books are surely relevant to the present.
D.We should read through every book.
