The holiday’s upon us.After months of study, you have some time to yourself.So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media(媒体)that offer a lot more colorful programs.Books are history!”

    But don’t be fooled.There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible.

    One clear reason is that a well-chosen _________is a wonderful collection of _______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course.Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet.

  But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply can not. The webpage(网页)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed(设计) to make it as easy to read as possible.Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level.For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品)for a book.

But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself.You can choose what you want to read.It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.Reading can bring us great pleasure.

The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s wildest shopping day. Closed all day on , shops all across the country open early on Friday. Some open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some lazy ones , like Target this year ,don’t open their doors on Friday 6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make 25% of their whole year’s revenue (收入). This season puts many businesses “in the black”that is, into profitability(盈利)—for the year.

Reporters from local TV stations people who camp out in front of shops before the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in line to get products that are discounted 50 percent or more. “Oh, we have fun”, said one camper.” We bring games to play, we watch TV and we meet interesting people .And, most of all, we save big dollars! ” Each store has plenty of goods reduce from 10% to 50%.

Not all Americans like this crazy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to the name of Black Friday. “We want to call it Remember Jesus(耶稣) Friday. People should start the season the right attitude(态度).Christmastime has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of .And we don’t mean giving IPods, DVDs, flat screen TVs ,and so on .We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady her house.
