Mr．James Wood，their English teacher，said，"The students （3） the idea themselves after seeing photos of hungry children．They organized the whole thing．I'm very proud of them．"

In recent years，mobile phones and e﹣readers have become more common．Some people worry that the days of paper books will be gone．So we did a survey about paper books Here is what we have got．
In the UK．sales of e﹣book& are dropping while Miles of paper books are rising．More surprisingly．It's young people who are buying the most paper books．Another survey of university students from the United Stales，Japan and Germany also showed that 92percent of them preferred paper books．
The most popular reason was：I like to hold the product．It's true that paper books bring a very different reading experience．Some students said that they liked the smell of paper books．Other students said that they got a sense of accomplishment（成就感） when they finished reading a paper book and they enjoyed seeing it on the bookshelf．
Paper books can also be very personal objects to readers．Many people like to sign their names on the inside cover．If the cover gels bent （弯曲的） or there's a stain （污点）made from coffee or food，it will make the book even more personal．It's more like the readers'old friends．
This friendship between people and books isn't just sentimental（情感的）．Studies have shown that readers remember more information from paper books．People also more easily have sore eyes while reading e﹣books．
It seems that paper books still have an attraction（吸引）力So why not pick up a book and start reading？
