A librarian, she read to her three children every day. Until we went to college, Williams told , a local news site. When Williams, now 54, became an elementary school teacher in Danville, Virginia, she wanted her students to fall in love with reading just as she had. But early on, she realized that some kids had limited access to books. Its very obvious to teachers of young children which kids are read to and which are not, she said.

In 2017, as part of a city event called Engage Danville, she gave away 900 used childrens books over three days. Most people would be satisfied with that. Most. “I was like, ‘Anybody could do that’,” she said. “I wanted to do something thats going to stretch my faith, my work principle, my everything.” So she raised the number considerably by setting a new goal for herself: Give away one million books. It sounds like an unreachable number, but as Williams posted on Facebook: “Dont complain in the bleachers（露天看台）if you arent willing to work hard out on the field.” So she got to work, first by roping in friends to donate books or money to buy books. Before long, as news of Williams project spread, strangers started leaving collections of books on her doorway. As quickly as the books come in, Williams gives them to local schools—only 92,000 more to reach her goal! And shes not slowing down. Its too important for kids with few options. Reading can take you anywhere, she told CNN. You can travel in time and space. If you can read, you can learn almost anything. 21. What made Jennifer Williams fall in love with reading? A. Her teachers help. B. Her mothers influence. C. Her desire for knowledge. D. He
