1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

“If you are going to get anywhere in life, you have to read a lot of books.” Roald Dahl once said.1.阅读在我们生活中扮演着重要的角色, and no one can live without books. People always get what they want from the books. When people ask Elon Musk, the founder of Space X, how he learned to build rockets, he says, “I read books.” So 2.你想从书中学到什么呢?   Maybe you want to learn how to paint, or speak a new language? Maybe you want to learn how to stop procrastinating(拖延)? Or you want to know how to change your life? No matter(无论) what it is, reading can help.

3.One great thing about reading is that it can exercise your mind. When you are reading, your brain is working and it becomes active(积极的). Our brains have a “use it or lose it” rule. If we don’t exercise our minds too often, they may not give you useful information when necessary.

Reading is good for your memory(记忆), too. When you are reading detective fiction(侦探小说), for example, you’ll find it hard to understand the story if you can’t remember all the details(细节), so it is good exercise for your memory. 4.The more you read, the better memory you will have.

What’s more, reading makes you more confident(自信的), because reading can make you more knowledgeable—5.you can always have something interesting to talk about!

So what are you waiting for?

22、One Sunday afternoon, my father and I were waiting to buy tickets for the circus (马戏表演). Finally, there was only one family between the ticket office and us. This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children talked excitedly about the circus show. It was clearly (显然地) a very important day for them. The father and mother were also very happy.

The ticket woman asked the man how many tickets he wanted. The man answered, “Eight children’s tickets and two adults’ (成人的) tickets.”

The ticket woman told him the price.

There was no longer a smile on the man’s face. He quietly asked, “How much did you say?”

The ticket woman again told him the price.

It seemed that he didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?

Seeing what was happening, my father took out a $20 note (纸币) and dropped it on the ground. (We were not rich ourselves at all!) He then said to the man, “Excuse me, sir, you dropped this.”

The man understood my father was helping him. He picked up the note, looked into my father’s eyes, and said, “Thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

23、Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists don’t know why this happens.

Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones. If you watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.
