【初中·完形填空·The Old Library】
阅读下面短文，从各题所给的四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

There was a small library at the corner of our street. It was ______, and few young people went there. But I loved it.
The librarian, Mrs Li, was over seventy. She always sat quietly at her desk. When I borrowed a book, she would write the date on a card and smile at me.
One winter afternoon it began to snow heavily. I stayed inside and read until it was dark. Mrs Li turned on a lamp for me and said, "Take your time. Good books are never in a hurry."
Years later the library was pulled down. But I still remember that lamp, and the quiet kindness of an old woman.
