On my way home,Mom’s words came back to me,“One day your luck will change,Son.And when it happens,you’ll feel doubly(加倍地) good because of all the hard work you’ve done.” At that moment I knew just what she meant.

24、When I was a boy my mum used to say I would read the back of a medicine bottle if I didn’t have a book in my hand. It was true, and even now that reading habit has been with me, I always have at least one book being read, sometimes I might have two or three. And I’m talking about real books, books made out of paper, books that you can hold in your hand, to read, at the table, on the subway or my favorite place to read-in the bath.

But the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77 printed books a year on average and in the US, 25 percent of the population say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading?

The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life. Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads? For younger people, books may not be as exciting as online games. With stories you have to work at it, closely follow the turns of the plot (情节). There are no shortcuts with a book. You have to turn page after page.

But you can still get lost in a book. We all have this thing called imagination. It’s much more powerful than any computer; in fact, it’s worth remembering that any online game was first written in words as a story by its writer. It’s all about his or her or their imagination.

So we need to read-if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely, to have an imagination. Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past. If you do not read, this will not only influence your study, but also your social life in the future.

So why not follow me from now on? Run a hot bath, or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours-there are quite many, for free, in your local library.

【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?

A．The writer used to enjoy playing with a medicine bottle.

B．The writer has had the reading habit since his childhood.

C．The writer always has two or three books in his hand.

D．The writer often reads books at a table on the subway.

【2】The number of people reading books is dropping because ______.

A．books are becoming less interesting

B．technology has greatly influenced our life

C．25% of Americans don’t read books

D．there aren’t enough printed books to read

【3】What does the word “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean in Chinese?

A．捷径

B．理念

C．缺点

D．短文

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A．Reading can help to develop our imagination.

B．All online games were first written in words.

C．We need to think a lot while reading a book.

D．Younger people prefer books to online games.

【5】In the last paragraph, the writer mainly suggests that we should ______.

A．run a hot bath to read books

B．borrow books from the library

C．read more books in our life

D．read books in a comfortable chair
