Question

【题目】 Somerset Maugham, a famous English writer, says, to acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life. Here are several ways to develop a lifetime reading habit.

Set times. You should have a few set times every day when you'll read for at least 5-10 minutes, no matter what happens. For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch(and even dinner if you eat alone).

Always carry a book. No matter where you go, take a book with you. When leaving the house, make sure to have at least one book. You may keep the book in the car, or take it into the office or to anywhere you go, unless you're sure you won't have time to read. If there is a time when you have to wait, like at a doctor's office, take out your book and read.

Make a list. Keep a list of all the great books you want to read. You can keep this in a pocket notebook. Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book. Keep a running list, and cross out the ones you have read.

Find a quiet place. Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair with a good book. There should be no television or computer near the chair to distract you. There should be no music or noisy family members.

Set a high aim. Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year or some other number like that. You set about finishing reading them. Just be sure you' re still enjoying the reading.

这篇短文主要讲述了培养一生的阅读习惯的方法。

【1】根据文中“Here are several ways to develop a lifetime reading habit.” 以下是培养终身阅读习惯的几种方法。可知此处是“培养终身阅读习惯的途径”，此处是动词不定式做后置定语，修饰ways。develop动词，培养。根据题意，故答案为develop。

【2】根据文中“You should have a few set times every day when you'll read for at least 5-10 minutes, no matter what happens.” 不管发生什么事，你每天都应该有几个固定的时间阅读至少5-10分钟。可知，此处是“无论发生什么”。whatever无论什么。根据题意，故答案为whatever。

【3】根据文中“For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch(and even dinner if you eat alone).”可知，养成在早餐和午餐时阅读的习惯（如果你一个人吃的话，甚至是晚餐）。可知，此处是“养成在用餐期间看书的习惯”。meal饭；此处是指用餐期间，用复数形式。根据题意，故答案为meals。

【4】根据文中“When leaving the house, make sure to have at least one book.” 离开家时，确保至少有一本书。leave动词，离开，此处是when引导的时间状语从句，主句是祈使句，从句用一般现在时态。主要是you ，动词用原形。根据题意，故答案为leave。

【5】根据文章后“No matter where you go, take a book with you.” 不管你去哪，带本书去。可知，此处是“不管你去哪，带本书”， No matter where you go表示“不管你去哪儿”。根据题意，故答案为where。

【6】根据表格中“____7____ to it when you hear about a good book. Cross out the ones you have read.”可知，此处是“列个一个清单”。短语make a list列一个清单。根据题意，故答案为list。

【7】根据文中“Be sure to add to it whenever you hear about a good book.” 每当你听说一本好书，一定要加上它。此处是祈使句，动词原形开头，add动词，加上。故答案为Add。

【8】根据文中“There should be no television or computer near the chair to distract you.” 椅子附近不应该有电视或电脑来打扰你。根据题意，“television or computer”在这里是名词，可知此处缺少介词，without没有。可知此处是“坐在舒适的椅子上，附近没有电视或电脑。”故答案为without。

【9】根据表格中“Do your ____10____ to finish reading them. Be sure to enjoy the reading.”可知，此处是“定个高目标。”这里是祈使句，动词原形开头。set动词，设置；Set a high aim定一个高目标。注意首字母大写。故答案为Set。

【10】根据文中“Tell yourself that you want to read 50 books this year or some other number like that. You set about finishing reading them.” 告诉自己，今年你想读50本书，或者其他类似的书。你开始读完它们。可知，此处是“尽你最大努力读完它们”。短语do one’s best to do sth.表示“尽某人最大努力去做某事”，根据题意，故答案为best。
