The unemployment is down four-tenths of a percent; another candidate has declared his inte
32、ntion to run; the space shuttle completes a successful mission; guerrillas claim responsibility for an attack on a refugee settlement. We rarely question such information; instead, we accord it the status of fact by making two crucial assumptions: that such stories could be verified if we wanted to
33、check into them and that the sources who deliver them have no intent to deceive us.Yet behind the simplest news stories lie definitions, perceptions, and categories that could become sources of different views by equally competent hearers and observers, that could, in other words, spawn arguments ma
34、intaining different views of reality. We can make this point more clearly by looking at our sample news items cited above. The unemployment rate, for example, is an extremely complex indicator; reporting procedures can and do change such a figure. If, for instance, only those actively looking for wo
35、rk are counted among the unemployed, then the figure will not indicate those who have despaired of finding work and those who have never tried. Those who are working part time and wish to be working full time also may not be included. Thus the fact “of an increase or decrease in the rate of unemploy

My name is Kathy Smith, Id like to give you a brief introduction about the library system. Every good student should learn how to use the library. If you have to do a
40、 research project, the library is the place to go to for information. Libraries contain books and periodicals, magazines and newspapers on many different subjects. To find the information you need, you must know how to use the library. All libraries are organized in much the same way.Every library h
41、ouses a collection of books. Many libraries also have periodicals, films and records. All the books in a library can be classified under two main categoriesfiction and nonfiction. Books of fiction contain stories that were made up by the author. Books of nonfiction contain factual material. When doi
42、ng research, you use nonfiction books, because you are looking for factual information.All the fictional books in a library are grouped in one section. They are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the author. Many libraries also label the spines of all books of fiction with the letters Fic o
43、r F.All libraries have a system for organizing and classifying nonfiction books. The most widely used system is The Dewey decimal system. It was designed by an American librarian named Melvil Dewey. It is called a decimal system because it divides all nonfiction books into ten major categories. Thes
44、e are further divided into subdivisions. For example, all science books are numbered from 500 to 599. Each different field of science has a number within the 500 category. For example, astronomy is 520, and chemistry is 540. The Dewey decimal system provides a category for every type of nonfiction b
45、ook.Tile best way to locate a book in the library is to use the card catalog. The card catalog is an index of all the books in the library. Information about a book is listed on cards. All the cards are filed alphabetically and stored in drawers in large cabinets. The card catalog can help you locat
46、e a particular hook, a book on a certain subject, or a book by a particular author.In the card catalog, each book has three cards, an author card, a title card and a subject card. The Author card is alphabetized under the authors name. The title card is filed alphabetically according to the title of
47、 the book. The subject card is filed alphabetically under the name of the subject of the book.In many university libraries, they use their own Biblitas cataloguing system or the Micro-fiche system. Both of them list publications under author and title and both are very easy to use. Now, let us see the reference books. We all know that reference books make up an important part of a librarys nonfiction books collection. They contain fact
