April 27 brings Independent Bookstore Day, the biggest bookstore celebration of the year when bookstores
around the country host events and offer discounts. Here’s a selection of bookstores we love writing about.
Books on Main
Books on Main feels like you’re reading inside a tree-house in a Wisconsin forest. It opened in June 2023. Local
residents have a welcoming place decorated with wood, leaves and comfortable furniture to gather and discover new
and beloved books.
Off the Beaten Path Bookstore
First opened more than 30 years ago, Off the Beaten Path has been through three sets of owners and three locations.
Current owners Mike and Danielle Skov say one thing has never changed: The promise to be a welcoming and
inclusive （ 包 容 的 ） space. They partner with local schools, libraries and nonprofits to reach as much of the
community as possible.
Changing Hands Bookstore
Too popular to be called a hidden gem （宝石）, this Arizona jewel recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. It
first opened in a 500-square-foot space in 1974. It hosts author events, poetry discussion groups and offers a Trade
Counter where customers can bring in gently used books for store credit.
The Last Chapter Book Shop
The Last Chapter is an all-romance bookstore in Chicago that opened in 2023. The store hosts author events
along with community mixers like Blind Date with a Book, where you wrap one of your favorite books and “trade” it
with a fellow book fan in hopes of finding a new favorite and a new friend.
17. Why Off the Beaten Path Bookstore is different from other bookstores?
A. It collects gently used books B. It creates a welcoming atmosphere.
C. It works with local schools. D. It remains in the same place.
18. Which bookstore has the longest history?

C. Off the Beaten Path Bookstore. D. Changing Hands Bookstore.
19. What can people do at Blind Date with a Book?
A. Buy their favorite books. B. Exchange books with book-lovers
C. Receive wrapped gifts. D. Communicate with authors.
B
Sia Godika was 13 when she noticed the barefoot （赤脚的） children of construction workers at a building site
near her house in the upscale Koramangala district of Bangalore, India.
“They were just walking around that building site with their feet bare, hard, dirty and bleeding, as though it was
an everyday practice for them,” reflects Sia, now 17. And it was in that moment that Sia realised the troubling contrast
（对比） to her own life.
She went back home, looked at her feet and opened her wardrobe doors, seeing shoes—many of which hadn’t
been worn for months or years—piled up high. She headed to her mother’s wardrobe next, dusting off cobwebs from
some shoes. Then she rushed to give them all for free to the same children she saw at the building site.
Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity
dedicated to providing footwear to those in need, epitomised by its motto: “Donate a shoe, save a soul.”
The idea, which started as a dinner conversation with her parents, quickly grew. After she spread the word with
posters and social media, emails from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the
organization runs distribution （分送） drives in which Sole Warriors collects used footwear, refurbishes （翻新）
it and donates the finished products to people in need.
That need, says Sia, is endless. In a world where the poorest half of the population owns just two per cent of the
wealth, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford footwear. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year,
shockingly more than 90 per cent end up in landfills （废物填埋场）.
In its first distribution drive, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number stands at
around 28,000 across four countries, including the United States, China and Liberia, thanks to the hard work of a core
team of about 80 volunteers.
But the organization’s growth wasn’t without its challenges. When it came to looking for partners, such as a
company that would do the refurbishments （翻新） free, Sia faced one difficulty after another before finding a
partner in India’s Pressto Cobbler.
To honor her impact, in 2021 Sia was given the Diana Award, one of the most prestigious （声誉高的） honors
a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million
feet,” she says.
20. ________ inspired Sia to donate shoes to the children at the building site.
