According to research, an average (普通的) American kid watches TV for about 3
to 4 hours a day. That means he or she spends more than one and a half months a year
in front of the TV. But some American kids are just saying “No” to TV.
Take Meghan Kelley from Pembroke, Massachusetts for example. She used to
spend a lot of her free time in front of the TV. But several years ago, Meghan gave up
her TV habits. Her days of watching TV ended when she and her classmates took part
in Screen-Free Week. Screen-Free Week is on the first week of May every year. It is
an event where children, families and schools are encouraged to turn off their TVs,
computers, DVD players, iPads and so on and “turn on life” — read, enjoy nature,
and spend time with family and friends.
After the first week, Meghan decided to test herself further (进一步). “I wanted to
see how long I could go without TV,” said Meghan. “Could I do it for a year?” The
answer was yes!217 网
Although sometimes she misses TV, Meghan finds life without TV more
interesting. She joined two soccer clubs and now plays basketball. Because Meghan is
studying more, she’s also getting much better grades.
根据材料内容判断正（T）误（F）。
( )1. An average American kid watches TV for more than 20 hours a week.

( )3. Screen-Free Week helped Meghan Kelley give up her TV habits.
( )4. Meghan Kelley found it hard to live without TV at first.

Jim Davidson said reading played a “very, very important role” in his children’s
lives as they were growing up. During his twenty years as a writer, the father of four
became worried about illiteracy (文盲) in America and decided to do something about
it.
Davidson started “Bookcase for Every Child” project (项目) in his hometown of
Conway, Arkansas, USA in 2005. The project provides low-income (低收入的)
children with bookcases, and a starter set of books to encourage reading.
Davidson’s project is different from other projects. Instead of raising money from
the public, he gets many people personally to take part in the project.
“We decided to build 50 bookcases each year and give them to low-income
children,” said Davidson. “I can promise you this is the nicest piece of furniture (家
具) in most of these low-income children’s homes.”
Today, the project has spread to eight communities (社区) in five states. He said
the project’s early success belonged to the community members. “I knew a lot of
people all over the community and was able to choose a group of people to do the
job,” said Davidson. The group included members such as librarians and a workman.
Davidson’s love for the project grew deeper after his wife died in May, 2013. For
him, spreading the bookcase project all over the country is the best way to remember
her. And he hopes to have at least one project in every state in his country.
