25、It was Jennifer Williams’s mother who made her interested in books lifelong. As a librarian (图书管理员), she read to her three children every day. “Not until we went to preschool” Williams told vadogwood. com, a local news site. “Until we went to college.”

When Williams, now 54, became a teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had little chance to develop reading habits.

“It’s very easy for teachers of young children to find out which kids read and who do not,” she said. “It’s clear at the end of the first day of school.” To Williams, the way to solve the problem was simple: Give kids books. In 2017, as part of a civil (市政的) event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used children’s books over three days. Most people would be satisfied with that.

“Anybody could do that,” she said. “I wanted to do something that’s going to go with my faith (信仰), my work rules, my everything.”

In order to realize her dream, she set a new goal for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Don’t complain in the bedrooms if you aren’t willing to work hard out on the field.”

So she got to work, first by roping in friends to donate books or money to buy books. Before long, as news of Williams’ project spread, strangers started leaving boxes of books at her front door. As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools—free of charge—and also gave away books to little free libraries around her city of 41000 just over the North Carolina border (边界). She also hosts a book club for people in the local jail (监狱).

In the four years, she’s been doing all this, the Book Lady, as Williams has come to be known, has given away more than 78, 000 books—only 922, 000 more to reach her goal. And she’s not slowing down. It’s too important for kids with few choices.

“Reading can take you anywhere,” she told a reporter. “You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything.”

27、】阅读理解  阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项.

You can’t always know when there’ll be a heavy rain or when to take an umbrella with you. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather report before going out should cause you to get wet in the rain. That’s why he created the Lampbrella—a lamp post (灯柱)with its own “umbrella”.

The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once， I was driving on a Saint Petersburg street and saw people trying to hide from the rain under the street lamps. I thought it would be a good idea to have a Lampbrella built into a street lamp.” he said.

The Lampbrella is a street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy(遮蓬). It has an inside electric motor(电动马达) which can open or close the umbrella freely. The Lampbrella will offer people cover whenever it starts raining. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.

According to the designer， the Lampbrella would move at a very low speed in order not to cause harm to people. What’s more， it would be grounded to protect from a possible lightning hit. Each Lampbrella would offer enough cover for several people. Being 2 meters off the ground， it would only be a danger for the tallest man.

While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production(生产)， Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow company， and insists his creation could be on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide cover.

【1】According to the passage， for what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?

A. To know when there’ll be a heavy rain.

B. To check the weather report.

C. To protect people from the rain.

D. To remind people to take an umbrella.

【2】What can we learn from Belyaev’s words in Paragraph 2?

A. His creation was encouraged by an experience.

B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.

C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.

D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.

【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The designer will open a company to produce his creation.

B. The Lampbrella could be put into production at once.

C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.

D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.

【4】The best title of this passage is .

A. A special umbrella - Lampbrella

B. Why Belyaev created the Lampbrella

C. A special light - Lampbrella

D. Where the Lampbrella first appear

“Well done! You are a very good Timon!” I 【8】 (cry).

As we walked into the dressing room, we saw more than 1,000 sets of different clothes. “Because we have 【9】 (little) than 200 actors, we have to 【10】 [tʃeɪndʒ] our clothes many times during the show to play other animals,” the actor said.
