课时提能练(十九)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2019·长春质检)Lately a popular bookstore in Hefei,Anhui Province,has risen to fame because it becomes the world's first shared bookstore,in a move meant to encourage more reading among Chinese citizens.
It comes to people's attention as more than 200,000 visitors flooded into the store on its first day as a shared bookstore on July 16 this year,a record high since it was reopened to the public in 2013.Some 4,000 books were brought home on the first day,Thepaper.cn reported.
Customers are allowed to borrow up to two books valued under 150 yuan per visit after registering with an app and paying the 99 yuan deposit(押金).
All books on sale in the bookstore are available for sharing.Returned books that are damaged are sold at a discount.The bookstore also provides a bonus for bookworms.People who finish reading 12 books in three months receive eight percent of their deposit back,and members can be rewarded with one yuan for every book read.
“We want to bring down the cost of reading so people could read more books,”Xu Xinwei,who helps run the bookstore,told Thepaper.cn.
Some parents buy a lot of books for their children,but they usually end up collecting dust as their children grow up.Similarly,some popular novels for young people also fall out of fashion,according to Xu.“Books are more effectively circulated when they're shared.”

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的概要。
For most of us,social media,like Twitter and Facebook,is a part of our everyday lives—at work,home or both.But a lot of people are still figuring out when to use it and how.This is especially true in high school,where many teachers are unsure of how it fits in the classroom.
Dan Krutka,a high school teacher,is an advocate for using social media in the classroom,and is an enthusiastic user of Twitter himself.Krutka says it's a great way to communicate with his students during non-class hours.“You can continue to learn together outside the classroom,”says Krutka.“So when
students are posting on Twitter—say they post something inaccurately or they make a really good point—I can go ahead and respond to them before class.”
Krutka says tweeting with his students isn't just about convenience,it's a lesson.He says students need to learn how to use social media properly.“People use social media irresponsibly and school should be a place where we're talking about that and how to use it responsibly,”he says.“As a teacher,I think part of my job is to help students understand how best to make use of it as thoughtful learners.”
But Krutka is among the few educators who feel this way.Many schools,including those in Western Massachusetts,are still struggling with whether or not Twitter or Facebook should be used as teaching tools.Many teachers believe that social media in general can easily distract students.Sean Kavanagh,a ninth grade world history teacher,tried using twitter in class,but was distracted by all of the non-class related“noise”.
Besides,it seems that some students don't feel this way either.Ray Lynn is in Kavanagh's history class.“I'd rather keep my school and my personal social media life a little more separate,”she says.“I'd rather not have my teacher on my Twitter or Facebook.”
