Larry Walters wants to be a pilot. He wants to fly an airplane. But Larry is not a rich man. He doesn’t have an airplane. He has only a lawn chair.

Larry ties 45 big balloons to his lawn chair and then sits in the chair. The lawn chair goes up.

For a few minutes, everything is fine. The view from the lawn chair is beautiful. Larry can see houses and trees below him. He is happy. He is flying!

The lawn chair goes up very high. Larry is afraid. “I don’t want to go very high,” Larry thinks. “I want to go down a little.” With a small gun, Larry shoots 10 balloons. Then something terrible happens. Larry drops the gun, and it falls to the ground. Larry can’t shoot more balloons. The chair goes up and up.

Larry is three miles above the ground. Airplanes are flying over him and under him. Larry has a small radio. “Help! Help!” he says into the radio. “I’m flying in a lawn chair, and I want to come down!” People hear Larry, but they can’t help him.

Larry flies in the lawn chair for 45 minutes. Then the balloons begin to lose air. Slowly, the lawn chair comes down, and Larry is back on the ground. He is not hurt.

Larry says, “For 45 minutes, I was a pilot – the pilot of a lawn chair.”

World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. The UNESCO set it up （設(shè)立） in 1995 to help people, especially teenagers, to enjoy reading. It is also the day to remember great writers, for example, William Shakespeare, born or dead on that day.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take UK as an example. On that day, millions of schoolchildren can buy half-price books in any bookshop. It has been done every year since 1998. We also celebrate World Book Day in China. Wen Jiabao, Premier of China, is so interested in reading that he does reading every day though he is very busy. On World Book Day of 2009, he called on（號(hào)召）people to do more reading. He told us that we could change the world by changing ourselves through reading.

Reading can help people in many ways. Reading helps us know a lot and become smarter. It helps us to follow the latest developments of science and technology. It gives us information about other cultures and places of the world. When we read, we may find many things that we don’t understand well. We would have to think about them or do more reading to find out the answers. The more we read, the more we know. The more we know, the smarter we become. Reading is also one of the most important ways to learn a foreign language like English. We all know that it is difficult to learn everything in the classroom, for example, the ways English people are speaking and writing today.

All in all, reading can help us know more about the world and perfect ourselves. So it is necessary for us to do some reading every day.

1.Why did the UNESCO set up World Book Day?

A. To let people learn English.

B. To help people enjoy reading.

C. To make teenagers become writers.

D. To help teenagers know Shakespeare.
