  I took home a briefcase full of troubles.As I sat down on that hot and damp   1  , there seemed to be no   2   to the problems thrashing(翻腾)around in my brain.So I picked up a book, settled into a comfortable chair and   3   my own special therapy(疗法)-  4   reading.

  I   5   three or four hours on two short chapters of Personal History by Vincent Sheean-tasting each paragraph, staying over a sentence, a phrase, or even a single heat-wave night.Enjoying every word, I   6   foreign correspondent(通讯记者)Sheean on a mission to China and another to Russia.I   7   myself in the author’s world.And when finally I put it down, my mind was totally   8  

  Next morning, four words from the book-“take the long   9  ”-were still in my mind.At my desk, I had a long-view look at my   10  .Once more, “super-slow” reading had given me not only   11   but perspective(视角),and helped me in my everyday affairs.

  I discovered its   12   years ago.Previously, if I had been really interested in a book, I would   13   from page to page,   14   to know what came next.Now, I decided, I had to become a miser(守财奴)with   15   and stretch every sentence like a poor man spending his last dollar.

  I had started with the practical object of making my book last.But by the end of the second week I began to realize   16   I was getting from super-slow-reading itself.Sometimes just a particular phrase   17   my attention, sometimes a sentence.I would read it slowly, analyze(分析)it, read it again-perhaps changing down into an even   18   speed-and then sit for 20 minutes thinking about it before moving on.I was like a pianist   19   a piece of music, phrase by phrase, practicing it, trying to discover and   20   exactly what the composer was trying to convey(传送).

In the southern part of America, when somebody has a birthday, often family or friends, or both, will arrange a party. The party could be elaborate(精心准备的)and include a meal or may be simple with a birthday cake and drinks. One does not plan, nor give, one’s own birthday as is the custom in some cultures. At a party there is usually a decorated cake, often with the words “Happy Birthday” and with the name of the person written on the top of the cake. Sometimes there is also one candle for each year of the person celebrating the birthday before the cake is cut. While blowing out the candles, the person makes a wish for something pleasant.

Usually those invited to a birthday party will bring a gift for the person honored. Gifts given by friends do not have to be expensive, but the family of the birthday person will spend whatever they can afford on a gift.

Christmas parties also are very popular in the South. Often this is the only time during the year that some people see acquaintances(熟人). These parties can be elaborate or simple, ranging from a buffet(自助餐)to a reception called “open house (家庭招待会)”. If you are invited to one of these, you don’t need to take a Christmas gift, as it is not customary to take the hostess a gift every time you are invited to a party or a meal. However, if you wish to take a gift, it should only be something useful and inexpensive and should be given to the hostess at the door as you enter the party. Usually gifts of Christmas food treats are the most appreciated.

B.For a birthday party, neither friends nor the family will buy expensive presents.

C. It’s customary to take the hostess a gift when you are invited to a party.
