I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themes—anything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a "complicated (復(fù)雜的) idea" until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲諷) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. ( How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. ( Could anything shorter be a book?)

There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the "hundred most important books of Western Civilization. " "More than anything else in my life," the professor told the reporter with finality , " these books have made me all that I am . " That was the kind of words I couldn’t ignore (忽視). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Plato's The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.

On hearing the teacher's suggestion of reading, the writer thought________.

A. one must read as many books as possible

   B. a student should not have a complicated idea

   C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand books

   D. students ought to make a list of the books they had read

While at high school, the writer________.

   A. had plans for reading                    B. learned to educate himself

   C. only read books over 100 pages     D. read only one book several times

The underlined phrase "with finality" probably means

   A. firmly     B. clearly                     C. proudly         D. pleasantly

The writer's purpose in mentioning The Republic is to________.

   A. explain why it was included in the list

   B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list

   C. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand

   D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word

The writer provides two book lists to ________.

   A. show how he developed his point of view

   B. tell his reading experience at high school

C. introduce the two persons' reading methods

   D. explain that he read many books at high school

When Steve Maxwell graduated from college, he had an engineering degree and a high tech job — but he couldn’t balance his checkbook. “I took one finance class in college but dropped it to go on a ski trip,” says the 45-year-old father of three, who lives in Windsor, Colorado. “I actually had to go to my bank and ask them to teach me how to read my statement.”
One of the biggest obstacles to making money is not understanding it: Thousands of us avoid investing because we just don’t get it. But to make money, you must be financially literate. “It bothered me that I didn’t understand this stuff,” says Steve, “so I read books and magazines about money management and investing, and I asked every financial whiz (能手) I knew to explain things to me.”
He and his wife started applying the lessons: They made a point to live below their means. They never bought on impulse, always negotiated better deals (on their cars，cable bills, furniture) and stayed in their home long after they went for an expensive vacation. They also put 20 percent of their annual salary into investments.
Within ten years, they were millionaires, and people were coming to Steve for advice. “Someone would say, ‘I need to refinance my house — what should I do? ‘A lot of times, I wouldn’t know the answer, but I’d go to find it and learn something in the process,” he says.
In 2003, Steve quit his job to become part owner of a company that holds personal finance seminars for employees of corporations like Wal Mart. He also started going to real estate investment seminars, and it’s paid off: He now owns $ 30 million worth of investment properties, including apartment complexes, a shopping mall and a quarry.
“I was an engineer who never thought this life was possible, but all it truly takes is a little self education,” says Steve. “You can do anything once you understand the basics.”
【小題1】The underlined part “l(fā)ive below their means” (in Paragraph 3) probably means “______”.

A．take effective measuresB．live a miserable life
C．spend more money than they hadD．spend less money than they had
【小題2】Since Steve Maxwell became a millionaire, he ______.
A．has been unwilling to help others
B．hasn’t stopped learning from practice
C．has been willing to follow others’ advice
D．has stopped to invest in houses
【小題3】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A self made engineer
B．How to balance your checkbook
C．Don’t avoid investing
D．Educate yourself to become a millionaire
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A．self education is very important to one’s life
B．everyone should learn how to invest in their life
C．Steve Maxwell was quite interested in finance classes in college
D．Steve became rich because he saved every penny he had earned

Reading is the key to success in all school subjects. With a bit of creativity, you can help your child enjoy reading more, and encourage him to do more!

        Buy or borrow a lot of “fun” books. Choose books that are slightly below his level of reading ability. Don’t forget what your child likes to do when choosing books for him. Don’t comment about the books. Simply leave the books lying on the table where your child is sure to see them. Computer games are not as harmful as most parents usually think them to be. Instead, you should take advantage of your child’s love of computer games to purchase those that require a lot of reading and avoid those that are simply computerized video games.

Buy your child a bedside reading lamp, or a tiny book light. Tell him that from now on, he must be in bed by a specific time (say 8:30) and that he can either sleep or read. Most kids will do anything else rather than go to sleep, so there’s a chance you’ll create a new bedtime reading habit.

Many children will read when they are sitting alone having a snack, or when they have a few minutes of unplanned free time. Put a box of books and magazines near the kitchen table so that reading material is accessible.

Often, once children learn to read independently, parents stop reading to them. This change of routine causes great sadness to a child who has come to love falling asleep as you read. Even a teenager will enjoy being read to if you pick books that interest him. Select books together, and make sure they’re ones you enjoy as well, so your enjoyment will come through as you read to them.

1.In order to make children become interested in reading, what should parents do?

A. Tell them what they can learn from these books.

B. Choose books based on their interest.

C. Choose the easiest books for them to read.

D. Always read books together with them.

2.Which of the following is NOT what parents are advised to do?

A. Reduce children’s sleeping time.

B. Read to children when possible.

C. Have reading material available.

D. Pick the right computer games. 

3.What attitude do most parents hold towards children playing computer games?

A. Supportive.            B. Negative.             C. Neutral.               D. Doubtful.

4.What’s the main purpose of the passage? 

A. To help children succeed in school subjects.

B. To give parents advice on how to educate children.

C. To remind parents of the importance of reading.

D. To teach parents how to encourage children to read.

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and full of burn holes.

Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.
