题目内容


The holiday’s upon us.After months of study, you have some time to yourself.So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒体) that offer a lot more colorful programs.Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled.There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible.
(1) One clear reason is that a well-chosen ______ is a wonderful collection of ______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course.Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet.
(2) But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply cannot. The webpage(网页)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.
Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level.For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品)for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself.You can choose what you want to read.It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.Reading can bring us pleasure.

解析【小题1】book, words
【小题2】翻译这句话的意思:第一个that引导的表语从句,第二个that modern media simply cannot.引导定语从句修饰something,更重要的一点是书可以给你现代媒体不能给予的东西。

The Guidance Department (教导处)at Berryville High School has a staff of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.
“Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram(图表).”says Mildred Freman, head of the Guidance. “This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May. ”
