Shelby sat at her desk and watched as her cIassmates came into the room.  She was always the first one in c1ass. Shelby kept on top of everything going on at Hayword Elementary School.

But this morning, Shelby saw a new face. A girl walked into the room wearing an old jacket that was two sizes big and a worn-out winter hat with holes in it. SheIby raised an eyebrow as she tried to work out the girl's story.
"Who's that?" Nicole asked.
"New girl,” Shelby said. "Total tomboy (假小子). I bet she bought her jacket in the boys' department. "
Mr. Ryan Ied the girl to the front of the c1assroom. "Quiet down, everyone. This is Amber Dresky. She's new, and I want you all to make her feel welcome." Amber stared at her feet instead of Iooking at the c1ass.
"Amber's family has traveled a lot, so I'm sure she has many exciting stories to share," Mr Ryan continued.
Amber shifted uncomfortably. "Maybe you- can tell us once we know each other better," Mr. Ryari said.  "You can take your seat now. "
Shelby watched Amber walk  back  to her seat.
"Shelby ，"Mr.  Ryan said, "since you are the eyes and ears of Hayword, I thought you could show Amber around.  Why don't you sit by Amber today?"
Shelby grabbed her books and moved to the back of the room.  She stared at Amber's jacket.
Amber foIIowed Shelby's stare. "It's my older brother's jacket. He's overseas in the army. I miss him. "
SheIby's stomach sank.  Amber wasn't a tomboy. She just missed her brother.
"That must be hard," SheIby said.
Amber nodded 
"Maybe we could sit together at Iunch.  You could teII me about your brother and the places you've been to. "
" Reallγ?”
"Yeah, " Shelby smiled. "Welcome to Hayword. "

          Are there Harry Porter books in your schooI library?  Many kids all over the world are reading J. K. Rowling's books in school. But some parents think their children shouldn't be able to find those and other books in schooI libraries.
Should schooI Iibraries keep books that some parents don't approve of? Should they take those books off the shelves?
  All over the country, schools are trying to find solutions to this problem. Read these arguments. Then decide for yourself.
Yes! Some Books Sould Be Banned (禁止) from School Libraries!
"We need certain limits (限定)，"said one student. He said some books have no place in school Iibraries.
Books should meet certain standards before they are put in schooIs. Is this a good book for kids to read? Is it fuII of violence (暴力)? Does it include bad words or ideas kids shouId not learn about? If a book is not good for all kids, it should not be in a schooI Iibrary.
Most parents know what's good for kids. They have a right to decide which books should or should not be in schooI Iibraries. If parents don't have time to find out everything their kids read, they should trust schooIs to do that for them.
No! Books Should Not Be Banned from School Libraries!
"Parents should decide what their own kids read, "said Natalie Nicol, a student. "But other parents shouldn't make that choice for them. "
Many experts say that it's the parents' job, not the schooI's job, to check out what their kids are reading. If they don't Iike a book, they should not let their kids read it.
 Why should a few parents stop kids from reading stories like the Harry Potter series?  Kids should be able to check out books their parents think are OK to read it.
Many schooIs Iet kids borrow certain books if they have a signed paper from a parent. 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 books if they have permission.
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.

53. What does the underlined phrase “approve of" mean?
A. borrow B.  accept C.  know D.  keep
