My 7?year?old daughter Leeny always has her nose in a book. She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp， which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been overeducated， but we were poor. I didnt own books. I borrowed books. However， my daughters have more books now than I owned in my whole childhood， and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks（堆）. So its probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book， she shrugged（耸肩）. “Sorry. I cant find it，” she said. “Its only $20， right？ Whats the big deal？”
I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to help me clean the chicken coop （笼子） in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime and dust floated in the air. But my girl， my animal?loving mini?me， thought shoveling chicken poop （铲鸡粪） was the most fun shed had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She didnt feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact， she looked as if she might lose another on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood， somewhat dumbfounded， watching her.
It took me a while to realize what had happened， why my punishment had failed so completely and why I didnt care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there， too， shoveling chicken poop， fetching the clean straw and feed. Leenys little sister， Vicki， was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born， and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I didnt know what she learned about responsibility， but I found that I didnt care about the book any more. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together： mother， daughter， and chicken poop.
4. How does Leeny find reading？
A. It is very challenging.
B. It is better to be done in a library.
C. It is full of enjoyment.
D. It costs a large fortune.
5. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to the fact that
