As digital media(媒介)is important to its_idea，the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies. Brian Gambles，the LoB project director，says it is about giving people the right tools for learning：“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital，providing 24－hour services which can be used through many different ways.It is important to enable us to reach more people，more effectively.” The digital library will，he says，be as important as the physical one，allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public. Even before the LoB is complete，the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟的)LoB，designed by Baden，the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists.Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB，but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens. Two other small Birmingham－based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects.Substrat，a digital design company，is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project.It is about the use of an exciting smart phone， an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development.And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots，in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material. Gambles says：“Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before” 【语篇解读】 本文是一则新闻报道。即将落成的 Library of Birmingham(LoB)将是伯明翰市 接受日常生活数字化的标志。 1．The underlined part“its idea”in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of ________.

Now，a breathtaking new exhibit at the Asia Society in New York suggests that the earth’s Third Pole is sounding a similar alarm.David Breashears，a mountaineer and cinematographer，and his team have travelled the high Himalayas on a special search in the past few years.Armed with old photographs of the world’s highest peaks， he has tried to duplicate those shots exactly. The result is both breathtaking and deeply frustrating.That is because his photos show a dramatic decline in glacial ice.Whether it is the forward edge，the vertical height or the mass balance of these rivers of ice，the pictures make it clear that something strange is happening.
