After nearly 50 years of separation，an elderly woman has been reunited with the

family that she feared was lost to her forever.

Celestine Thompson left Mississippi when she was 14 years oid and eventually settled

in New York，where she spent more than 30 years of her life，according to WLOX 13

News. After surviving a fire in 1992，Thompson was in a coma（昏迷）for two years and

has since experienced memory loss. The 90-year-old found it difficult to recall details about

her family.

But later she remembered the name of her nephew Clarence Woodway. Then another

woman who knows Thompson in Mississippi was able to track Woodway down and help

reunite Thompson with her large family.

“In our minds，my brother and I were talking that she wasn’t here anymore，because

we hadn’t heard from her for a very long time，”Donald Davis，another one of Thompson’s

nephews，told the media.“You know，we were overjoyed when we found out that we had

gotten in contact with her.”

A few of Thompson’s relatives visited her in New York，and then arranged a larger

reunion which was held this past Saturday in Gulfport，Mississippi，the Associated Press

reported.

Thompson now lives in Greensboro，Alabama，with a caretaker，and，although she is

yet to meet them all，she has regained quite a sizeable family of 23 nieces and nephews，64

grand nieces and nephews，66 great-grand nieces and nephews and 34 great-great-grand

nieces and nephews，according to the Associated Press.

B. She’s lost contact with her family since she left her hometown.

C. She had a larger reunion with her family members in Mississippi.

D. She lives with a caretaker and her relatives in Alabama at present.

36. Who helped Thompson get contact with her family?

A. People from WLOX 13 News. B. A woman who knows her.

C. The Associated Press. D. The caretaker she's living with.

37. How many generations are there in Thompson’s large family?

Summer time is in full swing，which for many kids means being happily removed from

the classroom strictness and the stress of daily homework.

But as kids and parents enjoy their well-deserved break from school work，we can all

take a more active role in ensuring their minds don’t simply melt away into a mess of video

games，texting and social media.

Summer is the perfect time to encourage children to read. A recent study，conducted

by Common Sense Media，has found that the older kids get，the less likely they are to read

for pleasure.

There has been a drop in reading among all kids，especially adolescents over time. And

reading for fun drops off dramatically as children grow. The study found that more than

half of all nine-year-olds read daily for fun. But those numbers drop to just 27 percent

among 13-year-olds and even lower for older teens. In 1984，31 percent of 17-year-olds said

they read every day for pleasure. But that number has dropped to a disturbing 19 percent

today.

It’s not just the kids who are reading less. Parents also read to their children less than

ever. A recent survey shows this busier generation of parents read to their children just an

average of 30 minutes per day- down from an average of 45 minutes per day in 1999.

In today’s world，there are more distractions for children，and reading doesn’t always

stand high on that list. Part of the decline is surely due to the technology impact on

children. But the digital revolution also means opportunity. There are more platforms than

ever for children to read：from tablets to e-Readers. In this brave new world，we must find

more creative ways to engage our kids and ensure that we are r
