will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper when the TV news can bring you the
information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read a novel when a play on television can tell you the
same story with color, pictures and action? Why read the biographies of famous men and women when a
one-hour-long television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers and magazines sell in very large numbers.
And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and
entertainment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are published today as
paperbacks, which are reasonably cheap. A paperback novel, for example, is always cheaper than an evening
at the movies or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.
Books in the home are a wonderful source of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be
in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. Every home should have an atlas (地图集) of the
world, with large clear maps. It might be expensive, but a good encyclopedia is useful, too, because you can
find information on any subject. In addition, it is useful to have on your bookshelves other non-fiction books
such as history books, science textbooks, cook books, books about medicine and health, etc. it is equally
important to have some fiction (小说) on your shelves, too. Then you can relax with a good story, or from
time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read thoughts and feelings of your favorite
poets.

“ Cool ” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
“ Cool ” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool . ” You may think, “He’s so cool，”when you see your favourite footballer.
We all maximize（扩大）the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “ new ”or “ surprising ”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall （瀑布）they had visited.

We spent a few days in Paris last week. We visit the famous city quite regularly. After all, it only takes three hours from London to Pairs. It’s always a pleasure visiting places we really like, exploring areas we’ve never been.
The only unlucky thing this time was the weather. As soon as we got there the temperature reached almost 35 degrees C (which lasted until we left). It was so hot that Matthew just couldn’t stand it — for him, it wasn’t the most enjoyable trip. I felt sorry for him because every time we go there he has to put up with (忍受) my endless shopping spree (狂欢) …
Because of the heat, we ended up just having lots of ice-cream and drinks most of the time, although we managed to pay a few visits to the new Herme shop on rue de Vaugirard at least. It’s not as busy as the shop on rue Bonaparte so you can choose whatever you like without worrying about a queue behind you! I really enjoyed his bread this time as well as the cakes. And I must say that his Croissant aux Amandes and Bostock were simply the best I’ve ever had.
