Many kids all over the world are reading Harry Potter books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in school libraries. Should school libraries keep books that some parents don't approve of?Should they take those books off the bookcases?
All over the USA, schools are wrestling with those questions. Read these arguments. Then decide for yourself.
Yes! Some Books Should Be Banned from School Libraries!
Many parents believe that there should be certain limits(限定). Books that include violence(暴力)or bad words shouldn't be in schools. Some parents think Harry Potter books have no place in school libraries because they talk about wizards and magic.
Most parents know what's good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in school libraries.
Books should be checked before they are put in schools. Is this a good book for kids to read?
Is it full of violence? Does it have bad words or ideas kids shouldn't learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a school library.
No! Books Should Not Be Banned from School Libraries!
Why should a few parents stop all kids from reading stories like Harry Potter?
"Parents should decide what their own kids read," said Natalie Nicole, of Denver, Colorado.
Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the school's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't like a book, they should not let their kids read it.
Many schools let kids borrow certain books if they have a signed(签名的)paper from their parents. That works fine. A parent doesn't sign the paper if he or she doesn't want the child to read the book. Other kids can read the book if they are allowed.
Some books are not OK for all kids to read. But if more adults were careful about what their own kids read, they wouldn't have to ban books from the library.
1.The underlined word "approve of " has the closest meaning to "______________".
A.borrow B.accept C.read D.write
2.Some parents don't think Harry Potter books should be in school libraries because
A.they talk about wizards and magic B.this kind of books will bring bad luck
C.kids don't have a signed paper for the books D.they have nothing to do with children's studies
3.The underlined word "That" refers to
A.Reading books with kids B.Allowing kids to read widely
C.Signing before borrowing books D.Letting kids choose books themselves
4.Which of the following would Natalie Nicole most probably agree?
A.Schools should provide a reading list for the students.
B.All the kids should be allowed to read Harry Potter books.
C.Libraries should ban the books some parents don't support.
D.Kids' choices of books should be made by their own parents.
