I.阅读理解
A
I have a special place in my heart for
libraries.I have for as long as I can remember.
I was always an enthusiastic reader,sometimes
reading up to three books a day as a child.
Stories were like air to me and while other kids
played ball or went to parties,I lived out
adventures through the books I checked out
from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah
Library when I was 16 years old.It was a
dream job and I did everything from shelving
books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother,the
library took on a new place and an added
meaning in my life.I had several children and
books were our main source of entertainment.
It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the
local library,where my kids could pick out
books to read or books they wanted me to read
to them.
I always read,using different voices,as
though I were acting out the stories with my
voice and they loved it!It was a special time to
bond with my children and it filled them with
the wonderment of books.
Reading Club(自修课)
Now,I see my children taking their
children to the library and I love that the
excitement of going to the library lives on from
generation to generation.
As a novelist,I've found a new relationship
with libraries.I encourage readers to go to
their local library when they can't afford to
purchase a book.I see libraries as a safe haven
(避风港)for readers and writers,a bridge that
helps put together a reader with a book.
Libraries,in their own way,help fight book
piracy(盗版行为)and I think all writers
should support libraries in a significant way
when they can.Encourage readers to use the
library.Share library announcements on your
social media.Frequent them and talk about
them when you can.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
How to read more and learn more
Today,more and more Chinese people
enjoy sending and receiving messages on the
phone.It can help them to get the latest news
and communicate with friends.But I think I
should read more books besides the textbooks,
the more,the better.It can open my eyes and
improve my language skills.1.Do you
know how to read more and learn more?Here
are some tips for you.
Clear your purpose for reading
2.Most people read for two main
reasons,pleasure or knowledge.Clearing about
your reading purpose can not only help you
choose the books you really need to read,but
also remind you why reading the book is
important to you,so you will keep reading and
complete the book faster.
◆3
No matter what you are reading,it is
important to enjoy what you read.Your friends
may tell you the books they love,but those
books might not necessarily be the ones you
enjoy.
Give up books that you don't enjoy
You may have chosen books that you are
interested in,and they are right to your
purpose.But while you are reading them,there
may still be some books that you don't enjoy
reading.Whenever you realize that you aren't
enjoying the book you are reading,give it up.
4
◆Set a reading goal
It is interesting that I read the books
borrowed from libraries faster than those I
bought.The reason is the books I bought don't
have a due date!I don't need to return those
books.5.Before you read each book,ask
yourself what time you need to complete this
book by.
A.Read only what you are interested in
B.Read the books borrowed from others
C.Remember reading shouldn't be a chore
D.Of course,it also can help me to get
good grades

communicate with friends
