　　　 My favourite great book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri.He's a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures (冒险).He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave.And finally, they find a box of gold.

　　　 My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral.He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they're also pleased to see him alive.

　　　 Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters.Huck is an outsider (外来者) and every?one is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom's best friend, and Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

　　　 The theme of the story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished (惩罚) for bad behaviour.

　　　 Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it's only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real.Today it's thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on—read it! I know you'll enjoy it, too.

　　The following rales will be used for the Reading Club:

　　1.All books must be read from page one to the last page.

　　2.The parent or the teacher will initial (write the first letter of one's name) the booklist after a student has finished reading a book. Teachers will initial the booklist only for the books read at school, and books read outside school must be initialed by the parent. And it is the duty of the parent to write the number of pages of each of the books that have been read by the child on the booklist.

　　3.All books read must be of the student's reading level or above. For example, a third grade student should not read first grade books if he or she is able to read at a third grade or higher reading level.

　　4. All the books the student finishes during the school year (including the textbooks read at school) will be counted towards the 100 books. Comic books and the like will not be counted. Books of good quality(质量）read from the school library, public library, classroom, home, etc. will be counted—including story books.

　　5.When a student has finished a club booklist—one sheet(一份）of 25 books or 1,500 pages，he or she should bring the sheet to the office.
