UNIT 2 课时跟踪检测(二) 语言运用综合练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 Sidney Keys, 14-year-old, has started a youth-led book club program, with the support and help of his mom, to help both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature. “I used to have a really bad stutter (结巴) and perform badly in school and I would get laughed at for it，” Sidney Keys, the founder of the book club Books N Bros said.“Reading was kind of my escape from my stutter because in my head I was able to imagine things and play out all the events clearly.” He said, “I wanted to start up Books N Bros so that I could talk to other people, especially boys, about books I love in a relaxing way because it's like brotherhood.” The reading club that he started at just 10 years old now has over 250 “bros” aged 7 to 13 from the US and Canada, most of whom are changing actively and positively.Marvel's Hero Project, which discovers the remarkable, positive change young men make in their communities across the country and turns them into superheroes, selected Keys to be featured in the Disney series. “I always wanted to read books that had characters that looked like me, but now I see a comic book with me in it，” Keys said.“It's unbelievable that my friends and teachers all call me my superhero name.” As for the future of Books N Bros, Keys and his mom hope to expand the program's reach throughout the country.“Getting Books N Bros in schools across America, we don't want transportation to be a problem for getting that physical brotherhood and connection.It just benefits so many people, and it keeps me going，” Keys explained. 语篇解读：本文讲述了14岁的Sidney Keys在母亲的支持和帮助下，创办了一个由年轻人主导的读书俱乐部项目，通过文学来帮助自己和其他有精神或身体问题的男孩。 1．What's the main reason for Sidney Keys to build the club Books N Bros A．His mother's support.
