Many kids all over the world are reading Harry Potter books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in school libraries. Should school libraries keep books that some parents don't approve of？Should they take those books off the bookcases?

All over the USA, schools are wrestling with those questions. Read these arguments. Then decide for yourself.

Yes! Some Books Should Be Banned from School Libraries!

Many parents believe that there should be certain limits（限定）. Books that include violence(暴力）or bad words shouldn't be in schools. Some parents think Harry Potter books have no place in school libraries because they talk about wizards and magic.

Most parents know what's good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in school libraries.

Books should be checked before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read?

Is it full of violence? Does it have bad words or ideas kids shouldn't learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a school library.

No! Books Should Not Be Banned from School Libraries!

Why should a few parents stop all kids from reading stories like Harry Potter?

"Parents should decide what their own kids read," said Natalie Nicole, of Denver, Colorado.

Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the school's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't like a book, they should not let their kids read it.

Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a signed（簽名的）paper from their parents. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to read the book. Other kids can read the book if they are allowed.

Some books are not OK for all kids to read. But if more adults were careful about what their own kids read, they wouldn't have to ban books from the library.

1.The underlined word "approve of " has the closest meaning to "______________".

A.borrow B.accept C.read D.write

2.Some parents don't think Harry Potter books should be in school libraries because

A.they talk about wizards and magic B.this kind of books will bring bad luck

C.kids don't have a signed paper for the books D.they have nothing to do with children's studies

3.The underlined word "That" refers to

A.Reading books with kids B.Allowing kids to read widely

C.Signing before borrowing books D.Letting kids choose books themselves

4.Which of the following would Natalie Nicole most probably agree?

A.Schools should provide a reading list for the students.

B.All the kids should be allowed to read Harry Potter books.

C.Libraries should ban the books some parents don't support.

D.Kids' choices of books should be made by their own parents.

Inventions
 


Phone
 

The first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. It made communications easier. But the telephones were only fixed in post offices. People had to go there to make calls to faraway people and the fees were very high. Later, a cellphone was developed in 1973 in America. It was one of the most useful inventions. People can use cellphones to communicate with others much more easily. They can take them anywhere to make private calls, even vision calls (可視電話). Cellphones have many other functions, such as sending messages, taking photos and reading online.
 


TV
 

The first TV set was invented by an English scientist, John Baird, in 1926. The invention helped people watch films at home instead of going to the cinema as before. At first, TV sets only broadcast black - white pictures. Several years later, colored TV sets made the pictures lively. However, they were heavy and thick, so it was difficult to move them. Then, digital TV sets came into being. They are light and thin. Many TV programs are available (可獲得的) at any time. At present, people can use the IPTV( 網(wǎng)絡(luò)電視) to record and replay programs.
 


Computer
 

The first modern computer was invented in America in 1946. It was as big as a room. It improved the speed and exactitude of calculation (計(jì)算). In the 1950s, desktop computers were invented in the same country. They became smaller and could be put on the desk. Since then, they have become very important in many fields of work and leisure. Before the 1970s, the computers were single. It was the Internet that joined the computers into a big family, so they could share information with one another. Around 1985, laptops were developedin Japan. They were much smaller and could be put on people's laps. They were light and easy to take.
