Alvin Irby, a former kindergarten and first-grade teacher, was at a barbershop when he saw one of his former students sitting in the shop with a bored look on his face. That’s when Irby realized that by pairing barbershops and books, he might be able to inspire young black boys to read.

Four years ago, he launched Barbershop Books as a way to not just get books into the hands of young black boys, but to also create community reading spaces in a place where kids go frequently. Since its inception in 2013, the program has created kid-friendly reading spaces in 50 barbershops in 12 states throughout the United States.

Irby isn’t the first person to see the connection between barbers and books and boys. Hair stylist Courtney Holmes, launched a program a few years ago offering free haircuts to kids as long as they read to him while he cuts their hair.

That’s the kind of environment that Irby wants to promote with his program. The reading spaces created by Barbershop Books help to spark an interest in books by showing kids that reading is about more than just spelling and vocabulary skills, it’s about making reading a low-stress activity that can help them relax, laugh and have fun.

“Our belief is that if we can create positive reading experiences early and often for young black boys, then they will choose to read for fun because they will identify as a reader,” Irby noted, adding, “This is really what Barbershop Books is about, getting young black boys to say three words: I’m a reader.”

Irby’s idea is catching on, and it will continue to spread thanks in part to the National Book Foundation. Barbershop Books recently won the organization’s 2017 Innovations in Reading prize, which is given to Programs that use reading to make a social impact.

1.What happened to Alvin when he was at a barbershop?

A. He found it easy for black boys to get bored.

B. He offered a barbershop to his former student.

C. He thought of a way to make black boys readers.

D. He realized the importance of reading for black boys.

2.What is the function of Barbershop Books?

A. To attract more customers who love books.

B. To provide free haircuts to black book lovers.

C. To show the influence of reading on children.

D. To create a reading environment for children.

3.What can we infer about Irby according to the text?

A. His program has been recognized by society.

B. He is the first to connect barbers with reading.

C. He attaches great importance to school education.

D. All his life has been devoted to helping black children.

4.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “inception” in paragraph 2?

A. Discovery.　　 B. Success.

C. Popularity.　　 D. Beginning.
