The holiday's upon us. Finally, after months of study, you have some time to yourself. so, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, "Why bother with books? We have the Internet and other media that offer a lot more colorful entertainment. Books are history!" But don't be fooled. There's still a lot to be said for reading.

    One clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful source of vocabulary, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. Believe me, it's far easier to get new English words and phrases from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet.

    But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The average webpage is picture-heavy and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. While "easy" may be attractive, unfortunately it's little use for many long-term development of reading skills and the general language level. For that, there's still no substitute (替代品）of a book.

    But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it independently means that it's something you do by yourself. You can choose what you want to read. It's hard work, but something down the line, you will find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure. We asked three bookworms -- an English teacher, a book editor and a film critic - to pick some favorite reads for you.

How many reasons for reading a book does the author mention in the passage?

  A. One   B. Two      C. Three      D. Four

According to this passage, we basically need a ______ in reading.

  A. computer  B. dictionary    C. notebook    D. pencil

In the author's opinion, reading on the Internet may ________

  A. develop long-term reading skills    B. improve the general language ability

  C. not take the place of reading books  D. be an effective way of reading

The passage is written mainly to ____________.

When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is filled with swimming，camp，and family vacations，it can be a challenge to find time for learning. But kids’ reading skills don’t have to grow cold once school’s out. Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun：

Explore your library. Visit your local library to borrow books and magazines that your kids haven’t seen before. Many libraries have summer reading programs, book clubs, and reading contests(比賽) for even the youngest borrowers. With a new library card，a child will feel extra grown­up by borrowing books.

Read on the road. Going on a long car trip？Make sure there are some books at the back seat. When you stop driving，read the books aloud. Get some audio books in libraries and listen to them together during driving time.

Make your own books. Pick one of your family’s favorite parts of summer—whether it’s baseball，ice cream, or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines. Stick(粘貼) the pictures onto paper to make a booklet(小冊子)and write text for it. When you’re done，read the book together. Reread it whenever you like!

Keep in touch. Kids don’t have to go away to write about summer vacation. Even if your family stays home，they can send postcards to tell friends and relatives about their adventures(冒險經(jīng)歷). Ask a relative to be your child’s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.

Keep up the reading habits. Even if everything else changes during the summer，keep up the reading habits around your house. Read with your kids every day—whether it’s just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon. And don’t forget to take a book to the beach！Just brush the sand off the pages — it’s no sweat!

A. taking away the sand on the book is very difficult

B. a special book is needed when you’re reading on the beach

C. one can remove the sand on the book with a brush easily

D. there’s no trouble reading even on the beach

4.Who are the possible readers of the passage?

A. Parents.                         B. Students.                                 C. Teachers.                       D. Editors.

C. With a library card，a child will feel extra grown­up by borrowing books.

Dear Customers,

I love slipping (滑落) into a comfortable chair for a long read—as I relax into the chair, I also relax into the author’s words, stories and ideas. The physical book is so elegant that it disappears into the background, and what remains is the author’s world.

Today, we at Amazon are excited to announce Mindle, a wireless, portable reading device with instant access to more than 90,000 books, magazines and newspapers.

We’ve been working on Mindle for more than three years. Our top design objective was for Mindle to disappear in your hands—to get out of the way—so you can enjoy your reading. We also wanted to go beyond the physical book. Mindle is wireless, so whether you’re lying in bed or riding a train, you can think of a book, and have it in less than 60 seconds. No computer is needed—you do your reading directly from the device.

We chose the same wireless technology used in advanced mobile phones. But unlike mobile phones, there are no monthly wireless bills, no service or data plans, and no yearly contracts. There is no software to install (安裝，設(shè)置)。 We want you to get lost in your reading and not in the technology.

Mindle uses a new kind of display called electronic paper. Sharp and natural with no strong light, reading on Mindle is nothing like reading from a computer screen. Mindle weighs only 10.3 ounces—less than paperback—but can carry two hundred books.

Enjoy learning about Mindle and many thanks!

                                           Jeff Bezos Founder & CEO

1.This passage most probably is a(n)________.

A. advertisement

B. news story

C. lab report

D. letter of thanks

2.From the passage we learn that Mindle is a device which ________.

A. has neither wires nor weight

B. is operated by a computer

C. disappears while you read

D. can find a book within one minute

3.With the device, the reader is able to ________.

A. enjoy reading when driving a car

B. improve reading skills

C. gain access to free software

D. get rid of heavy books made of paper

4.Different from mobile phones, Mindle________.

A. has a much more friendly screen

B. can work in the absence of electricity

Indians are the world’s biggest bookworms, reading on average 10.7 hours a week, twice as long as Americans, according to a new survey.

    The NOP World Culture Score Index surveyed 30,000 people in 30 countries from December 2004 to February 2005.

    Analysts said self-help and desirable reading could explain India’s high figures.

    Time spent on reading meant fewer hours watching TV and listening to the radio—India came fourth last in both.

    The NOP survey of 30,000 consumers aged over 13 saw China and the Philippines take second and third place respectively in average hours a week spent reading books, newspapers and magazines.

    Britons and Americans scored about half the Indians’ hours and Japanese and Koreans were even lower—at 4.1 and 3.1 hours respectively.

    R. Sriram, chief executive officer of Crosswords Bookstores, a chain of 26 bookshops around India, says Indians are extremely entrepreneurial (有開創(chuàng)精神的) and reading “is a fundamental part of their being”.

    “They place a great deal of emphasis on reading. That’s the reason why they do well in education at home and in universities abroad,” he said.

    “People educate themselves and deal with change throughout their lives. And the way to do that is to update themselves with books.”

    Mr. Sriram says social changes have also made a difference: “Earlier people could turn to their parents and grandparents for advice．Now they turn to books.”

1. According to the time spent on reading, which of the following answers is right?

A. Indians>Americans>Chinese>Koreans

B. Americans>Chinese>Philippines>Japanese

C. Chinese>Indians>Americans>Philippines

D. Indians>Chinese>Philippines>Americans

2. The sentence “India came fourth last in both.” in paragraph four means_____.

   A. Indians have no time to watch TV and listen to the radio

   B. Indians are busy with their work every day

   C. Indians spent more time on reading so that they have fewer hours watching TV and listening to the radio

   D. People in other countries spent more time watching TV and listening to the radio

3. The time that Chinese spent on reading may be______ a week.

   A. 5.35 hours                               B. less than 10.7 hours but more than 5.35 hours        

C. more than 10.7 hours           D. 10.7 hours

4. The Indians do well in education and universities abroad because_____.

A. they have excellent teachers in every school

B. they have qualities that are needed to succeed

D. they live in a developed country

5. Which of the following is not mentioned in this passage?
