19、 message were hand-delivered to the offices of all the major news companies. One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just
20、 a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the cards and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.” The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Tao Bao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytimes market
21、ing had worked it was a household name before itd even made a single sale.

22、ivered: within one, ten, or twenty-four hours. Bloggers were the first to test the service. And their reviews were glowing. Within weeks, Anytime had become a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster. Chris still wondered what ex
23、actly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small country that did not require such information to be made public.

Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After work
26、ing through the night, an exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 a.m. When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled.

These studies show that girlstypically read more frequently than boys, and have a more positive attitude toward reading.T
31、here are several reasons that help explain these gender-based differences. Parentsread morewith their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls, as well as equipping girls with a significant advantage. Recentresearchhas found even though boys read less frequently than
32、 girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys reading?To improve boys reading performance, parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion a
33、bout the importance of promoting so-called “boy-friendly” books that boys supposedly “prefer”. These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction. But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more
34、likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability. Besides encouraging mo
35、re fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. Firstly, dont assume that boys of the same age have the same interestsor that their interests stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have regular discussions about reading for ple
36、asure in order to keep up with their interests. Schools should also provideaccess to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during class.Acce
37、ss to booksfor boys is essential to promote reading. In addition, we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being a role model. Let yourchildrenorstudents

When should schools give students additional library access according to the author?A. Before and after class
40、.B. At any time of the school day.C. At regular times during class.D. When they are in the lower grades.15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show students ways to improve their reading.
