Question

【题目】阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Do you know how to choose a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.

Start with Your Interest. 【1】 You can choose something that you love to read, not for school. They can be computers, or fashion design.

What’s your Type? Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books, like novels, can lead you to another world. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 【2】

Many of them read like novels from start to finish.

Read the Description. The quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you choose future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praised the book. 【3】

Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 【4】

Find out and give them a read — then you can share your thoughts about the book.

Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book. 【5】 You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!

A. How about your brothers and sisters?

B. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.

C. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can focus on it.

D. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors, too.

E. Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school.
