Many people love reading, but not everyone knows how to choose a good book. Here are some simple tips to help you find the right book for you.

One day, Mr. Finch handed her a worn-out book with a golden cover. “This one is special,” he said with a smile. “It’s called The Secret Garden of Dreams. I think you’ll like it.”
Lily took the book home and started reading. It was a story about a girl who found a magical garden where every flower held a memory. The girl in the book was very lonely at first, but as she tended the garden, she made wonderful friends.
The next Saturday, Lily returned to the shop. “Mr. Finch,” she said, “that book changed how I see things. I used to think I was alone, but now I know that there is beauty all around me.”

Have you ever heard of “World Book Day”? It is celebrated on April 23rd every year in many countries. The idea is to encourage people, especially young people, to discover the joy of reading.
World Book Day was first organized by UNESCO in 1995. April 23rd was chosen because it is the date when several famous authors, including William Shakespeare and Miguel de Cervantes, died.
On this day, many activities take place around the world. Schools often hold book fairs, reading competitions, and storytelling sessions. Libraries offer special events, and some cities give away free books to passers-by.
One of the most exciting traditions is “Book Crossing.” People leave books in public places—on park benches, in cafés, or on buses—for others to find and read. After finishing, the reader leaves the book somewhere else for the next person to enjoy.
World Book Day reminds us that books are bridges between cultures and generations. They connect us to the past, help us understand the present, and inspire us to imagine the future.
36. When is World Book Day celebrated?
A. On April 23rd. B. On May 1st. C. On June 1st. D. On March 21st.
37. Why was April 23rd chosen for World Book Day?
A. Because it’s a public holiday. B. Because it’s the date when Shakespeare and Cervantes died.
C. Because it’s spring time. D. Because it’s the longest day of the year.
38. What is “Book Crossing”?
A. Crossing the street with books. B. Leaving books in public places for others to find.
C. Selling books at a discount. D. Writing a book with a friend.
39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT an activity on World Book Day?
A. Book fairs. B. Reading competitions.
C. Storytelling sessions. D. Movie screenings.
40. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The life of Shakespeare. B. How to celebrate World Book Day.
C. The importance of UNESCO. D. The history of books.

Tom was sitting in his room, feeling bored. He had finished all his homework and didn’t know what to do. Just then, he noticed a dusty old book on his shelf that he had never read. It was called The Lost Treasure of the Forest.
He opened it and began to read. The story was about a group of children who discovered a hidden treasure in a mysterious forest. As he read, he felt as if he was right there with them, exploring the dark woods and solving riddles.
Suddenly, he heard a strange noise from the window. He looked up and saw a bird with a piece of paper in its beak. The bird dropped the paper on his desk and flew away. Tom picked it up. It was a hand-drawn map with a big ’X’ marking a spot in the park near his house!
Tom’s heart raced. Could it be real? He grabbed his jacket and ran to the park. Following the map, he walked past the old oak tree, across the bridge, and stopped at a small bush. Under the bush, he found a small wooden box.
He opened the box slowly. Inside, there was a note that read: “The real treasure is not gold or jewels. It is the adventure of discovering something new.” Tom smiled. He realized that the greatest treasure was the excitement of the journey itself.

42. What did the bird bring to Tom?

A. To the library. B. To the park near his house.
C. To his school. D. To the forest.

A. Gold coins. B. A note. C. Jewels. D. A photograph.

My Reading Habit
I have developed a good reading habit over the years. I usually read for about 30 minutes before going to bed every night. I enjoy reading different kinds of books, but I especially love adventure stories and science fiction.
When I read, I often take notes and write down new words I learn. Sometimes I share interesting passages with my friends and we discuss them together. This makes reading even more enjoyable.
Reading has brought me many benefits. First, it has greatly improved my vocabulary and writing skills. Second, it helps me relax and reduces my stress after a busy day. Reading opens up a whole new world to me, and I truly love this habit.
