Question

【題目】The holiday’s upon us．After months of study, you have some time to yourself．So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒體) that offer a lot more colorful programs．Books are history!”

But don’t be fooled．There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible．

(1) One clear reason is that a well-chosen ______ is a wonderful collection of ______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course．Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet．

(2)But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The webpage（網(wǎng)頁）is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible．

Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level．For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品)for a book．

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself．You can choose what you want to read．It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure．Reading can bring us pleasure.

【解析】

【2】翻譯這句話的意思：第一個that引導(dǎo)的表語從句，第二個that modern media simply cannot.引導(dǎo)定語從句修飾something，更重要的一點是書可以給你現(xiàn)代媒體不能給予的東西。

【3】文章第三段的句子，One clear reason is that a well-chosen 第四段的句子：But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply cannot.和第六段的句子：But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself．可知是三個原因：Three.
