阅读以下短文,感知加颜色部分,并完成文后的练习
“What shall I read?” You might have asked yourself this question more than once.If you are not sure what to read,you can get ideas from different sources,but it is also important to develop your own taste.
To start with,ask your friends,parents and teachers to recommend what books you ought to read.Most people will be happy to share their favourite books with others.Teachers in particular can provide suggestions for interesting reading materials that can be found in the library or bookshop easily.You could also read book reviews in newspapers,in magazines or online.A book review can often tell you whether a book is worth reading or not.
These ideas should point you in the right direction.However,you must also decide for yourself what kind of books to read.You do not have to read a book just because everyone recommends it.Instead,look for books on topics that interest you.Take time to look through the collections in different sections of your local library,and you are likely to come across books you love to read.Over time,you may find yourself better able to seek out books to your taste and enjoy reading all the more.
