Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre

They shape our lives in many ways. Often when they get old, torn or fall apart, we’re likely to throw them out or replace them. But one 85-year-old man is devoted to bringing old books back to life.
“I know how to do this. I enjoy doing this,” said Paul Reeder, a book repair hobbyist.
Reeder is changing the face of our textbooks, one book at a time, said Skyview High School Principal, Deb Black.
It all started just three weeks ago.
“There was an article that came out about the bad shape our books were in,” said Black.
Reeder read the article in the newspaper, and he soon appeared in Black’s office. It was the morning of April 5, 2016.
“He said,’I’m here to offer what I think may be a solution,’”?Black recalled (回忆).
Reeder has been repairing books since the 1940s.?Over the years, he’s worn many hats, yet his interest in book repair remained unchanged.
In the year 1992?when Reeder retired (退休), he went all in. He has repaired books for a number of organizations including the Montana Historical Society and the Billings Public Library.
Skyview’s students are not only thankful for Reeder’s help, but inspired (鼓舞) by his work.
“They have made him thank-you signs and cards. I have one girl who left me a note the other day.?She wants to learn to do what Paul does. What he does is a lost art. He has done great things for our kids and for our books,” said Black.
The worn-out books are brought to Reeder on Friday, and in most cases, he’s able to return the books as good as new by the following Monday, according to Black.
24. What does Reeder think of his work?
A. It is a pleasure.?? ???

Based on a true story, the novel?Safe as Houses?by Eric Walters is an amazing book. It is about a 13-year-old girl named Elizabeth Hardy who babysits the McBride children David and Suzie. One rainy, stormy evening they walk home from school. When they arrive home, water floods (淹没) the backyard, cuts the power and floods roads, which stops Mr. and Mrs. McBride from coming home. Soon the flooding begins to invade the McBrides’ home and Elizabeth, David, Suzie and their dog Daisy try very hard to escape and survive the flood.
My favorite character is David because I find him very funny and brave, and although he can be stubborn and rude at times, he is still a nice and friendly person. As much as I want to be like David I could never be like him. At least, I don’t think I could ever do something as brave as he does.
I think Eric Walters does a great job in describing the characters and telling the story. I really feel like this all just happened in front of my eyes. Ever since I started reading?Safe as Houses?I never wanted to put the book down, and considering I was not a big fan of reading that did not happen very often.?Safe as Houses?changed my opinion in regard to reading and now I enjoy reading very much.
Eric Walters’ writing career (生涯) all started in 1993 when Eric was teaching a grade 5 class. His students were not good readers and did not like reading, so Eric created a book called Stand Your Ground for his students and used some of the students’ names to create the story. Ever since Eric published (出版) that book he has become a big time writer and has published many amazing different books like?Camp X, Tiger Trap, Camp 30, We All Fall Down?and?Flyboy.
28. What happened on that particular evening?
A. A 13-year-old got lost.
B. A terrible rainstorm broke out.
C. Three children were trapped on the way home.
D. The McBrides’ home was completely destroyed by floods.
29. What does the author like about David?
A. His creativity.??? ??????????
B. His great skill.???
C. His personality.??? ?
D. His good behavior.
30. What can we infer about the author?
A. He is a man full of courage.??????
B. He used to enjoy reading very much.??????
C. He is very like David in?Safe as Houses.???
D. He has been greatly affected by?Safe as Houses.?
31. Why did Eric write?Stand Your Ground?
A. To record his students’ stories.
B. To encourage his students to read.
C. To state the importance of reading.
D. To teach his students they can be writers.

Will Hodson, a primary-school teacher in?London, was reading a superhero book to his students one day when a?thought?struck him. “We were talking about how we can all do something heroic every day — open a door for someone, say something nice to someone,” he recalled. “I decided not to use the day’s lesson plans and asked the five-year-olds to think about, ‘What are we all good at?’”
Hodson, 39, was good at cycling, and he ended up taking his lesson to an extreme: After saving up for two years, he left his job and set off on a five-year ride across seven continents (洲) to raise money for charity, including for Parkinson’s disease, which his father has. Calling himself Super Cycling Man, he tries to visit at least one school per country, to spread the message that “we can all be heroes.”
Starting last May, Hodson has hit 14 countries in?Europe. On the road, strangers have acted heroically — Turkish gas station attendants sheltered him from the snow, and people in?Serbia?made a huge pizza for him.
So far, he has raised about $19,000 of the $140,000 he hopes to raise. Antarctica, the most expensive continent to visit, is last on his list, after Asia,?Australia, the?Americas?and?Africa.
The hardest part of the trip has been?“just keeping my parents at manageable stress (压力) levels. You see so much bad news in the world, but I see a very different picture?—?people inviting me to their houses, people pouring me drinks on the street at night.”
Along with the superhero message, Hodson hopes to show people that?“life’s pretty good on two wheels”?—?particularly in places where cycling is less popular. Tbilisi, Georgia’s capital, with its shortage of bike lanes (自行车道) and its crazy drivers,?“is the toughest (最艰难的) city I’ve seen for cyclists, but even there, young people have been receptive.”
“The youth don’t want to necessarily have a big pot belly (大肚子) and drive around in a car.”
32. What does Hodson’s “thought” (in Para. 1) refer to?
A. Being a hero himself.
B. Giving up his teaching job.
C. Doing something heroic every day.
D. Reading more superhero books to his students.
33. Hodson’s cycling around the world _____.
A. is a charity ride
B. is intended for his father
C. will be finished in two years
D. began without any preparation
34. What’s the most difficult thing for Hodson on his trip?
A. Facing the terrible weather.
B. Finding cheap places to sleep in.
C. Winning his parents’ full support.
D. Keeping his parents from worrying about him.
35. What does Hodson say about the young in?Tbilisi?
A. They hate cyclists.
B. They are crazy drivers.
C. They are open to his idea.
D. They eat and drink too much.
