19．You have probably heard it before，most likely from your English teacher．If you want to become a good writer，read good writing．Unluckily，you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience．
As you start reading a book，poem，or story，do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing．Just read for pleasure to begin with，or to learn．As you progress through the work，think about whether it is"easy"reading or not．Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it，or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected？The second situation is a chance to learn from the writer's mistakes．In fact，the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does"his thing"…he should be able to just enjoy and learn．Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen，stop to consider why it has this effect．Also，do not spend a lot of time analyzing （分析） the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole．
Another thing I do，particularly with nonfiction （非小说） books，is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work．Once again，read as a common reader rather than a critic （批评家）．For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level，however，nothing is more suitable than devoting yourself to reading poems．A poet is often trying to put a book's worth of meaning and feelings into lines，and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft （工艺）．
As you can see，there is no simple way of reading to improve your writing．The key is not to make it boring．Select writers you admire or like most，and enjoy their works as anyone else would．As long as you are reading，you are improving yourself as a writer．

Improving Your Writing by Reading
Facts	•Reading good writing （62）helps you become a good writer． •You don't understand the （63）advantages of reading and what to get from reading．
Ways	•Read not to learn but for （64）fun． 1）Develop a great （65）interest in the subject and flow of the writing． 2）Learn from the writer's （66）mistakes if possible． 3）（67）Time shouldn't be spent in analyzing the passage but in enjoying the passage from the whole．
Ways	•Read as a common consumer rather than a critic． •（68）Devote yourself to reading poems and enjoy the lines．
Conclusions	•Don't make yourself （69）bored with reading． •Select your （70）favourite writers and enjoy their works． •You are sure to make （71）progress during reading．

18．Did you notice the number on the book in a library？That number is part of the system used by libraries to organize their collections of books．And it's used in many countries．The number on each book tells you exactly what kind of book it is．This system is also useful for knowing where to go in the library to find a book．
In this system，there are ten large groups of books．Each of these groups has its own number，such as 100，200，etc．So，for example，any books about language will have a number 400．On the other hand，any books about history will have a number 900．So，a number in the hundreds place tells you what general group a book is in．If you find a book that has a number in the 500s，you know it is a book about science．
However，science is a big group，so the tens place is used to make a more detailed set of science books．For example，math books are included in the group of science books．Math books all have numbers between 510and 519．Books about the history of Africa have numbers between 960and 969．
The system uses the ones place to give a more exact limit for the subject of a book．A book on the history of South Africa will have the number 968．
As you can see，it is a simple system to use as long as you understand what the numbers mean．With this system，the library can keep its books well organized，and people can easily find the book that they want．

16．ARE you busy preparing for final exams？How do you memorize（记忆） English words or text？Some readers share their ideas with us．
Hu Ziwei，13，Nanjing
Some long English words are hard to memorize．I usually stop work and read ancient （古代的）Chinese poems．When I start work again the English words are easier to remember because my brain （大脑） is relaxed after reading Chinese．
Sun Weize，12，Xi'an
To remember an English text，I read it carefully first．Then I divide （分割） it into different parts．One for each idea in the text．Then I memorize each part．I also note down keywords for every part I have to memorize．
Xiao Xia，13，Beijing
I stick （粘） word notes on things．For example，I'd stick"television"on TV or"air conditioner"（空调） on the air conditioner．Imagination helps you memorize words too．Take scar （伤疤） as an example．The letter"s"looks like a snake．If a snake is hit by a"car"，it will get hurt and have a scar．
Huang Xiaoyu，14，Guizhou
Memorizing English words on the morning of the test is a good way．Another way is to"cut the word up"．For example，the word"vegetable"can be cut into'"vege"and"table"．The parts are both shorter and easier to memorize than"vegetable"．

15．A seabird named Lydia recently made a 26-day nonstop（不间断的） journey of about 2，500miles，just to search for food for her baby．She is fitted with a satellite tracking device（卫星跟踪仪）．Her trip started on Oct.18from Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean．The trip is known as the longest nonstop journey by one of these endangered seabirds．Before that，this kind of birds was known only to fly a few hundred miles from where they live，staying away for just a few days at a time．They usually fly over the sea．The scientists feel it strange that Lydia made such a long，nonstop journey and flew overland．So the above facts raise some serious questions about efforts to stop the decline（减少）of the birds．The number of the birds has fallen by 10percent over the past 20years．
Besides，the scientists are surprised that she was away from her baby for such a long time．They wonder why she needs to go that far．Maybe it shows that fish resources around Christmas Island are not large enough now．That might explain the slow decline of the bird-sea pollution is serious．
