2016高考阅读理解
Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people (who belong to book groups). They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website Book Crossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.
Members go on the site and register the books (they own and would like to share). Book Crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and widewith each new reader who finds it.
Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book Crossing, says, “The two things (that change your life) are the people (you meet) and books (you read). Book Crossing combines both.”
Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.
People (who find a book) can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the Book Crossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. zxx.k
