【题目】How to Form a Positive Reading Habit

Books are a source of joy, learning, insight and imagination. How we choose what to read says a lot about our preferences and passions. 【1】

Give old favorites a re-read

There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. 【2】 It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters. You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.

Learn something new

If you are a lover of novels, think about what your favorites have in common.【3】 That can send you down a glorious rabbit hole of non-fiction books that will brighten your understanding of times, places and people who already live in your imagination.

【4】

Book clubs are positive on so many levels, not least of which is that they open your mind to books you might not otherwise have considered. If you don’t belong to one — and even if you do — try to think about your reading choices in a public way. Ask friends what they are reading and go with any recommendations that interest you.

Give yourself permission to move on

Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay. Just like living positively means acknowledging when it’s time to let go of something that isn’t serving you well, reading positively means giving yourself permission to close a book that isn’t keeping you interested or inspired. 【5】. The positive pleasure of reading is indeed unending.

A.Get social

B.Set up a book club

C.There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all

D.Here are some tips for making reading a positive habit in your life

E.Reading books that you enjoy helps maintain your habit and become a life-long reader

F.Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories

G.A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme

【答案】

【1】D

【2】F

【3】G

【4】A

【5】C

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍“如何养成积极的阅读习惯”。

【2】根据上文提示“打开一本破旧的书，翻看你以前翻看过的书页，也许是翻看过很多遍，会带来一种特别的快乐。”再根据下文提示“它可以把你带回到你生命中最后一次见到这些人物的时候。”承接上下文，F项 Re-reading favorite books can do more than bring you back into beloved worlds and stories（重读你喜欢的书不仅能把你带回到你喜欢的世界和故事里。）切题。故选F。

【3】根据上文提示“如果你是小说爱好者，想想你最喜欢的小说有什么共同点。”再根据下文提示“这会让你进入一个非小说类书籍的极好的爱的拐点，让你对生活在你想象中的时间、地点和人物有更深刻的理解。”承接上下文，G项A particular time in history, region of the world or type of character may become a new theme（一个特定的历史时期，世界的地域或人物的类型可能成为一个新的主题）切题。故选G。

【4】此空是小标题，应该用短小精悍的祈使句，在A、B中选择。再根据下文提示“读书俱乐部在很多方面都是积极的，其中最重要的一点是，它能让你敞开心扉，阅读那些你可能从未考虑过的书籍。”由此可知A项Get social（交际起来）切题。故选A。

【5】根据下文提示“阅读的积极的乐趣确实是无止境的。”承接下文，C项There are unlimited choices to turn to instead, after all（毕竟，我们有无限的选择可以去选。）切题。选C。

练习册系列答案

With the car traveling on a busy road, I activated the driverless mode. Soon, a traffic light turned red. For a split second, I prepared to get on the brakes. There was no need. The cameras and computers in the Volvo recognized the traffic conditions and smoothly began applying the brake.

If you're anything like most people, you're familiar with this anxiety. Almost 80 percent of Americans fear traveling in a self-driving car, a recent survey found.

Researchers at the University of Chicago have conducted some clever experiments studying the phenomenon. They asked participants to complete tasks and compare their performance with a computer system's. After the computer made a mistake, people were unwilling to use it again. After the people made mistakes, their self-confidence wouldn't change. It didn't matter that the human beings made more mistakes than the computer. So it is with driving. More than 37,000 Americans died in crashes last year, most from human error. The death count from cars goes beyond that from guns. So if you are shocked and angry by guns and want things to change, you should feel the same about car crashes.

Technology creates an opportunity to save lives. Computers don't get drunk or distracted by text messages, and they don't have blind spots. Just look at commercial airlines: Automation has helped all but get rid of deadly crashes among American air carriers. The last one happened in 2009.

The technology for self-driving cars still isn't good enough. But it is improving rapidly. Within a few years, many cars will have advanced crash-avoidance systems and driving will be revolutionized sooner than many people now understand.

【1】How does the author introduce the topic?

A.By offering a piece of news.B.By giving background information.

C.By describing an experience.D.By introducing a latest car.

【2】What can be learnt about the participants of the experiments?

A.They tended to accept the computer's faults.

B.They seemed to care little about their own mistakes.

C.They felt less confident after making mistakes.

D.They performed better than computer systems.

【3】The author mentioned commercial airlines___________.

A.to prove the advantage of technologyB.to assess the security of driverless cars

C.to find fault with computersD.to advertise for the commercial airlines

【4】What does the author expect of the self-driving car?

A.I'll avoid deadly crashes entirely.B.It'll occupy the market in a short time.

C.It'll be bettered in every possible way.D.It'll be popularized sooner than expected.
