课时作业(十三)
[限时30分钟]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I can't remember a time when my bedroom didn't have a bookshelf. From Dr. Suess to Mother Goose,I had all kinds of books that progressed in size as I got older.
My earliest memory of books was sitting on my bed at night with my mom reading to my older brother and me from C.S. Lewis,J. R. R. Tolkien,or Madeleine L'Engle.And my first beloved book that was all mine was a children's book about being a chosen child. As an adopted(收养的) child,this book helped me learn that my family was my very own because they chose me. As I got older,the books got thicker and more difficult. The first set of books I ever bought with my own money was L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables.
When in elementary school,there was a book catalog(目录) that would come out. We could take it home and have our parents help us order new books. Then the books would be sent to the school. There was nothing better than getting my little bag of books.
My love for science fiction was deepened by my older brother's love for it. Beyond being the person to introduce me to Star Trek and Doctor Who,it was his copy of The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks that got me really interested in science fiction.
I read classics in high school. The first time I had the thought that I wanted to be a writer was after reading Edgar Allan Poe's work. And his use of words floored me.I remember using his word “phantasmagorical” for a senior paper. Yeah,it's no wonder I ended up an English major and English teacher passing on my love for the written word and the books students could hold in their hands.
