16.Icelanders have a beautiful tradition of giving books to each other on Christmas Eve and then spending the night reading.This custom is so deeply rooted in the culture that it is the reason for Christmas Book Flood,when the majority of books in Iceland are sold between September and December in preparation for Christmas giving.
"Books get attention here."Says Baldur Bjarnason,a researcher who has written about the Icelandic book industry.
The small Nordic island,with a population of only 329,000 people,is extraordinarily literary(文学的).They love to read and write.According to a BBC article,"The country has more writers,more books published and more books read,per head,than anywhere else in the world…One in 10 Icelanders will publish a book."
It seems there is more value placed on physical,paper books than in North America,where e-books have grown in popularity.One bookstore manager said,"The book in Iceland is such an enormous gift-you give a physical book.You don't give e-books here."The book industry is driven by the majority of people buying several books each year,rather than the North American pattern of a few people buying lots of books.
It sounds like a wonderful tradition,perfect for a winter evening.It is something that I would love to incorporate (吸收) into my own family's celebration of Christmas.

33.What do Icelanders do on Christmas Eve?A
A.They give books to each other and read books.
B.They buy a lot of books to read.
C.They check the mailboxes and send cards to friends.
D.They get together and sing Christmas songs together.
34.How many people in Iceland can be described as writers?B
A.329,000 B.32,900 C.3,290 D.3,290,000
35.What is the difference between Icelanders and North Americas on buying books?C
A.People in Iceland never buy e-books.
B.People in North America never buy physical books.
C.A few people buy a large number of books in North America.
D.In Iceland,everyone buys a large number of books each year.
2.Imagine that Mom and Dad have friends over,and you have to talk to adults all evening.Say the(41)Dthing and the parents might get mad.But,say (42)D,and they'll think you weren't friendly.So,(43)Acan you talk with adults?
It's(44)D.Just ask them questions about themselves."Many of them like to talk about what they do for a living,"suggests psychologist Tim Ursiny.
Kids can also talk to grown-ups about(45)A.Ask what the last good movie they saw was,because people at dinner parties"(46)B"when the conversation turns to movies,Ursiny says.If a grown-up is(47)CHarry Potter,it's OK to talk about your love for Harry.It's a(n) (48)A topic,one that both grown-ups and kids can enjoy,so(49)Cand talk about whether Dumbledore is really dead.
But(50)Bthe topic of video games."Adults don't want to hear about your video game  (51)B they play it,"Ursiny explains.
Adults also don't want to hear slang(俚语).Don't use language they don't (52)C.Ursiny says kids should learn to speak to other people in their own language.(53)Amost adults aren't into slang,they do remember what it was like to be a kid.Ursiny recommends asking adults what(54)B was like when they were your age."It might be a fun discussion if you (55)Byour 10th-grade experience with theirs."(56)Ayou chat with your parents in advance to find out which topics are off-limits (禁区).
Also,don't chat about the things that make your parents feel guilty.Don't mention (57)Cstuff such as how Dad has been sleeping on the couch,Ursiny says.And don't complain that Mom has been late preparing breakfast.
(58)B,Ursiny says,kids should try to put themselves in their parents'(59)A.Learning how to(60)Dthat type of understanding might help you out in the future."The most successful people can develop a sympathetic feeling for others,"he says.
