SAN FRANCISCO—The "Reading Wizard" (阅读巫题) , an 11-year-old boy, whose offer to read to children without being paid at a local library was refused by libraries will get to read to younger
kids after all.
Mayor Willie Brown last Wednesday ordered San Francisco Public Library officials to allow John O'Connor to read to preschool children to get them interested in books and stop them from watching television and video games.
"I didn' t expect this kind of attention." John said, "It's just shocking."
John has chosen his first book, "The king' s Giraffe", and made up fliers inviting neighborhood children, aged from three to six, to the Presidio Branch every Wednesday afternoon. He planned to call himself the "Reading Wizard" and wear a special hat, fake glasses and a black coat.
But his idea was refused on the phone, in person and finally with a letter from Toni Bernardi, the chief of the library's children and youth service. Using terms like "appropriate material"(适龄读物), she wrote that only library workers are allowed to read to children.
John then went to a member of the city board of supervisors(督导董事会) ,who advised him to write letters to the library officials.
Who is the "Reading Wizard"？
A．Presidio Branch.
B．The King's Giraffe.
C．John O'Connor.
D．Toni Bernardi.

Calling for Safe Celebrations
Last Fourth of July, Pete, a 14-year-old boy, was enjoying the lit-up skies and loud booms from the fireworks(烟花) being set off in his neighborhood Suddenly, the evening took a terrible turn, A bottle rocket shot into his eye, immediately causing him terrible pain. His family rushed him to the emergency room for treatment. As a result of the injury, Pete developed glaucoma(青光眼) and cataracts(白内障). Today, Pete has permanent vision loss in his injured eye because of his bottle rocket injury.
June is Fireworks Eye Safety Awareness Month, and through its EyeSmart campaign the American Academy of Ophthalmology(眼科学) wants to remind consumers to leave fireworks to professionals(专业人员). "There is nothing worse than a Fourth of July celebration ruined by someone being hit in the eye with a bottle rocket", said Dr John C. Hagan, clinical correspondent for the Academy and an ophthalmologist at Discover Vision Centers in Kansas City. "A safe celebration means letting trained professionals handle fireworks while you enjoy the show".
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, more than 9,000 fireworks-related injuries happen each year. Of these, nearly half are head-related injuries, with nearly 30 percent of these injuries to the eye. One-fourth of fireworks eye injuries result in permanent vision loss or blindness. Children are the most common victims of firework abuse(伤害), with those fifteen years old or younger accounting for 50 percent of fireworks eye injuries in the United States. Dr Hagan estimates that his practice sees more than 30 injuries each year from fireworks.
Even fireworks that many people consider safe represent a threat to the eyes. For children under the age of five, apparently harmless sparklers(花炮) account for one-third of all fireworks injuries. Sparklers can burn at nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit(华氏).
What happened to Pete last Fourth of July？
A．He was burned in a house fire.
B．He was hurt in a fight.
C．He was caught in a heavy rain.
D．He was hit in the eye.

What Makes a Soccer Player Great？
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world， but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way was it through training and practice， or are great players "born， not made" ？ First. these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate. In the history of soccer， only six Countries have ever won the World Cup three from South America and three from western Europe. There has never been a great national team or a really great player——from North America or from Asia. Second. these players have all had years of practice in the game.
Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player， as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally. many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood a poor， crowded area where a boy"s dream is not to be a doctor， lawyer， or businessman， but to become a rich， famous athlete or entertainer. For example， Liverpool. which produced the Beetles， had one of the bestEnglish soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a "ball" made of rags. AndGeorge Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slumsof Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common， but that doesn"t explain why they are great.
Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets， but only one became Pele. The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.

One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncle's car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shrieked. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, "That's all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here." In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a hu- miliated man, without power or standing.
When I was sixteen a girl in the next building had her nose straightened; we all went together to see Selma Shapiro lying in state, wrapped in bandages from which would emerge a person fit for life beyond the block. Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his application he wrote "Anold Brown" instead of "Anold Braunowiitz." The newsswept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A nose job？ A name change？ What was happening here？ It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasn't standstill. Things felt lively and active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were going to experience challenges. That's what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.
But who exactly do I mean when I say we？ I mean Arnie, not Selma. I mean my brother, not me. I mean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. "The girl goes to college, too," she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my brother's going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan. But for me？ From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what？ I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would brave the perils of class and race, and somehow I'd be there alongside him.
