Around six weeks ago, Kaileen came running into the house, just getting off the bus from school. She was excited about a story about homeless pets because of Hurricane （飓风） Katrina and all that was going on to help them. She said that this information came from her animal newspaper (your KIND News). Kaileen has a great love and compassion （同情心） for animals, so her excitement did not surprise me. Her next ideas, however, did. She said that we should go around right then to our neighbors and collect all their change to send to the animal shelters （保护所）.
I thought this was a school project, but in fact, it was not. This was what Kaileen wanted to do on her own! Well, it warmed me all over. To see your child so willing to help others just lets you feel that maybe you had done something right in raising （养育） her.
Anyway, I told her to make a card and send it out to our neighbors first. With the help of her older brother, Kaileen soon made a lovely card that asked our neighbors to help these pets by giving their spare change. She gave them a few days and a date she would come by to pick up any donations （捐赠）.
Well, I had to go out and buy a donation box. Kaileen collected $279.50!!! I just thought you would like to know how KIND News had touched a little one’s heart and given her the idea to show her compassion for animals. Thank you — we really enjoy your paper.

More than ever, kids today have given up reading for activities like watching TV, playing video games and surfing the Internet, but recently a new trend （趋势） has been catching on that will hopefully change that.
In fact, book clubs are becoming more popular among American kids. 11-year-old Kenya Debarros read about singer Lena Horne. “It was just amazing to see a black woman as the star and not just a mammy or a maid,” she says. But did all these kids come enthusiastically （热情地） No, not exactly.
“I like book club, uh, I don’t know, but I am just trying it out. My mom didn’t make me, but I just tried it out,” says 16-year-old Antonio Nash.
And if they’ll try it, the experts say, there are ways to get them to come back. Make it fun, serve pizza, serve chocolate cakes and have door prizes （门票对号奖）. It also helps to connect books to the real world. They talk about things that are happening in the community, so they can relate whatever they’ve read in the book to what’s happening now.
Here they have long talks about the books they have selected, which most kids don’t get to do when they’re in school, and these kids say, in book clubs they’re learning to love books and love reading.
“I feel like I’m actually in the book and doing what the actual main character is doing,” says 13-year--old Justin Woodard.
16-year-old Antonia McManus says reading gives her a nice break from the day, “Sitting down and reading a book gives me some time to get away from the world, and get my mind straight.”
（ ）58．What does the underlined phrase “catching on” in Paragraph 1 mean

（ ）59．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Book clubs develop very fast in America.
B．Book clubs are popular among American kids.
C．American kids’ habits are changing towards reading.
D．A new trend helps change children in America.
（ ）60．It can be known from the passage that ______.
A．book clubs are designed to improve kids’ study
B．book clubs are mainly to help kids forget the reality
C．kids like to go there for the silent surroundings
D．kids may get unexpected rewards in book clubs

A．She finds reading restful. B．She could get some sound sleep.
C．She likes the noisy conditions there. D．She can deal with her problems there.
D
As online learning becomes more common and more and more resources become digital form, some people have suggested that public libraries should be shut down and, in their place, everyone should be given an iPad.
Supporters of this idea state that it will save local cities and towns money because libraries are expensive to maintain. They also believe it will encourage more people to read because they won’t have to travel to a library to get a book; they can simply click on what they want to read and read it from wherever they are. They could also access more materials because libraries won’t have to buy physical copies of books.
However, it would be a serious mistake to replace libraries with iPads. First, digital books and resources are associated with less learning and more problems than print resources. A study done on table t and book reading found that people read 20-30% slower on iPads, remember 20% less information, and understand 10% less of what they read compared to people who read the same information in print. Additionally, staring too long at a screen has been shown to cause some health problems, including dizziness, dry eyes, headaches, shoulder and back pain and so on. We should not add to these problems by giving people, especially young people, more reasons to look at screens.
Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending. Libraries have more benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location. Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to communicate with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs and keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted community events such as play times for kids and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered and benefits iPads can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.
While replacing libraries with iPads may seem like a simple solution, it would encourage people to spend even more time looking at digital screens, despite the issues surrounding them. It would also end access to many of the benefits of libraries that people have come to rely on. In many areas, libraries are such an important part of the community network that they could never be replaced by a simple object.
（ ）62．Digital reading supporters may agree that ______.
A．the price is too high to maintain （保持） libraries
B．iPads make people’s learning less convenient
C．printed books are more efficient than digital ones
D．iPads encourage people to spend more time online
（ ）63．The author supports his idea in Paragraph 3 by ______.
A．listing figures and showing studying results
B．highlighting the differences between the two media
C．comparing reading efficiency through different media
D．showing advantages and disadvantages of reading with iPads
（ ）64．What is the author’s attitude towards the functions of public libraries
A．Unconcerned. B．Confused. C．Positive. D．Negative.
（ ）65．What is the best title of the passage
A．Why iPads Encourage People to Read B．Should Public Libraries Be Shut Down
C．Will iPads Take the Place of Public Libraries D．How Are iPads And Public Libraries Different

There is an English saying:“ 66 ”. Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body. 67 .
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laugher has similar effects to physical exercise. 68 . If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.
