Question

【题目】第二节阅读填空

Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language. 【1】

【2】Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words that are difficult to understand. Children's books are a great place to start. Dr. Seuss's books are sure to make you laugh. Dr. Seuss writes his books in rhyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.

For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien. 【3】 If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm ' I am David is a good read.

If you're not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes? 【4】 Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves's Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.

My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English. 【5】

A. For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple.

B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.

C. The book isn't too long and it may be easier to follow if you've seen the film.

D. This way, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.

E. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.
