3、e active, he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it duringindependent reading classes.It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Rideprogram to the entire school.

11、pendent reading classes.BRecently, when I was reading a book in a caf, a man came to talk to me. This had happened to me several times before. I dont know when reading a book in public has become a signal that were desperate for attention and conversation. But nine times out of ten, its the exact op
12、posite. As strange as it is to hit on someone much younger than you, interrupting them while they are out reading is rude, selfish, and hateful behavior.来源:Z.xx.k.ComYou are dong this under two false thoughts: that the person isnt doing anything important, and that you desire to talk is more importa
13、nt than their desire to read. If someone is out reading in public, it means that they specifically spare this chunk of time out of their day to dedicate to a book. It could likely be the only part of their day when they are able to sit quietly and do something entirely for themselves. Even if they a
14、re reading on the metro, it is a decisionthey could stare out the window if they want to. But they dont.The worst part is that almost every time Ive been approached in public while reading, the person uses my book as a conversation starter. Theyve clearly noticed that I am preoccupied, but chosen to
15、 ignore it. Theyve made the conscious decision that their desire for conversation and entertainment is more important.Im sorry, but your failure to bring anything to entertain yourself is not my fault.

19、Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom. However, he arrived at school dirty every morning, and along with his outward appearance, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways, too. His home was a mess and his parents never settled
20、 in one place. He had yet to live a full year in any one place.Every time when it was Ronnys turn to read, he would sit close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled to sound out “Bud the Sub.”It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech
21、 impediment and his difficulty with the alphabet.The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level.
