【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In the first bk-giving event, mre than 300 children frm William Wells Brwn Elementary gt their wn cpies f LeBrn James’ I Prmise, which was read at the schl each mrning. “Mst f the bks are well received by teachers and students,” the headmaster f the schl tld Nice News.(在第一场赠书活动中，来自威廉威尔斯布朗小学的300多名孩子得到了自己的LeBrn James写的《我保证》一书，这本书每天早上都会在学校里朗读。该校校长在接受《Nice News》采访时表示：‘大多数书都受到了老师和学生的欢迎。’)”可知，这一次赠书活动中大多数书都受到了老师和学生的欢迎；由此推知，这位校长对这次赠书活动很满意。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The rganizatin als hsts a prgram called BAM, which cmbines bks, art, and music. “What if we shw hw literacy gives yu the ability t write sngs r understand music lyrics better?
