Week Five 第5周 晚练 的阅读理解A Sidney Keys,14-year-old,has started a youth-led book club program,with the support and help of his mom,to help empower both himself and many other boys with mental or physical problems through literature. Keys'idea to create Books N Bros was born from his own setbacks and struggles."I used to have a really bad stutter 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 im- agine 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 a brotherhood." The reading club that he started at just 10 years old now has over 250"bros"aged 7 to 13 from the U.S. and Canada,most of whom are changing actively and positively.Marvel's Hero Project,which reveals 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 delightedly."It's really awesome,especially when I hear my friends and teachers call me my superhero name at school." As for the future of Books N Bros,Keys and his mom hope to expand the programs reach throughout the country."Getting Books N Bros in schools across America,we don't want transportation to be an issue for getting that physical brotherhood and bond.It just benefits so many people,and it keeps me going,"Keys explained.
