When you get up in the morning, do you find it hard to choose what clothes to wear? If so, you probably need help to make the bigger choices in your life, like what to do when you’re older. “Brave New Girls”, by American author Jean Gadeberg, will help you make such choices.

The more books you read, the better your life will be. If you don’t believe me, please consider these five reasons to read more books.
You will make your brain power better.
This shouldn’t come as a shock, but studies suggest reading makes you smart. Unlike watching television, which requires no thought process, reading is an active learning experience that will keep your mind sharp.
You will increase your chances of success.
The more books you read, the more knowledge you will have, the more ways and resources your brain will store, the more likely you will succeed.
You will have things to talk about at parties.
Reading more books will enable you to say the sentence, “Did you know …?” more often, making it easier to start conversations with strangers.
You will enlarge your vocabulary.
The more words you’re able to use, the better you will become at expressing your thoughts and feelings. I couldn’t imagine how I would write articles like this if I didn’t actively aim to enlarge my vocabulary, because using the same few words to express myself would get boring.
You will enjoy a good night’s sleep.
Your mobile phone or TV can make it difficult for you to get a good night’s sleep, if you do so late at night. You would be wise to cut off all electronics at least an hour before bed, and replace that with a good book, which is a much better choice.
The books can change your life. I firmly believe that if it wasn’t for books, I wouldn’t have achieved in my life; nor would I have the knowledge, imagination or creativity. I hope these reasons to read more books encourage you to unlock your power of reading.

The more books you read, the better your life will be.

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap, and drove a white truck. As a five-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer(硬幣兌換器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery, and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese and eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note, “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery,” and put it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There was a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr Basille even had a key to my house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we could box indoors, So that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr Basille from time to time, taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allow the production of cheaper milk, so making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere. And it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and fixed it on the back porch(門廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is, so I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milk man who brought us friendship along with his milk.
【小題1】Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer______.

A．to please his mother
B．to pay for the delivery
C．to show his magical power
D．to satisfy the boy’s curiosity(好奇心)
【小題2】If they needed to change their order, they should____
A．call the milkman
B．wait for the milk
C．leave a note in the box
D．leave a note on the door
【小題3】Why is there no longer milk delivery today?
A．It is not allowed by the law.
B．Its service is getting poor.
C．It has been driven out of the market.
D．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.
【小題4】Why did writer bring back home an old milk box?
A．He planted flowers in it.
B．He missed the good old days.
C．He needed it for his milk bottles.
D．He wanted to tell interesting stories.
【小題5】What can be inferred(推斷) from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house?
A．He was a funny person.
B．He wanted to have tea there.
C．He was fully trusted by the family.
D．He was treated as a family member.

Dear Liz，
My stay in Thailand has certainly been the experience of my life．
Life is busy and exciting．Bangkok is just like any other big city with a population of 10  million and heavy traffic．I'm very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside  the city．There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who  is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma．

Last weekend we visited some temples．We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok．I  thought it was great，but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket  Island，where the beaches are even more beautiful．The month after next，we’re going to travel  to Mr．Phairat，s hometown in the north of Thailand．The Phairats own land there，and they  have two elephants．I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them．Sanan and  Chinda say it’s really fun．

I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing(拳擊)lessons next time I write．
Love,
Mandy
