If you happen to find “On the Road” at a gas station or “Who Moved My Cheese?” in your grocery store, it might not be and accident. You could be the unwitting beneficiary of a “bookcrosser”---- a person who on purpose leaves books in public places hoping they’ll be found by strangers.
The idea o leaving a book for someone else to find and enjoy is not new ---- some people have been leaving just-finished books in airports and on buses since the dawn of the hurry-up-and-wait. Creating a system for book-leavers to find out what happened to those books adds a new way to the practice. Bokcrossing.com, the website that encourages books to be “released into the wild”, has more than 18,000 members since its start last year, and averages 112 new participants daily.
Its members have scattered(分发) more than 42,000 novels, self-help books, memoirs, technical manuals and biographies in 45 countries, leaving them in public restrooms, movie theatres, coffee studios or anywhere that they can imagine. The result: a worldwide living library.
Peri Doslu, a California yoga instructor, has dropped three--- one on top of a telephone booth, one on a rock wall at remote Mono Lake in the eastern Sierra Nevada, and another in one of the studios where she teaches.
“I’m always looking for paces to pass on books,” said Doslu. “To think my book’s going to go off and have this future, and I might even get to know a little bit about it down the road.”

how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The
book tells us that when facing changes in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead,
use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing
from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs
and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese.
The four are in a maze (迷宫) looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like
moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't
change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people,
however, can't do this. They are afraid of changes so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move m a new direction
quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school
or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.
B. read across the world
C. sold only in America
D. loved only by teens

D. readers
B. little people
C. Chris
D. Spence Johnson
B. There are three terms in every school.
C. Most teens don't understand Chris' story.
D. The book tells teens how to face changes in their lives.
