People read books less often in these days. With the invention of radio, television and most recently, the Internet and computer games, it seems that reading books is no longer a popular activity. However, I believe that books are an important part of our lives.

Books offer an outstanding wealth of learning and at a cheaper price than taking a course. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people were.

Everything in today’s society requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the directions on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone could not understand them and become very sick or even die.

Even something as simple as walking or driving through the city could become very dangerous without enough reading. Sometimes, you must be able to understand what is written and explain the meaning of them.

Some people say that reading is a waste of time and we can do better things with our time. Even if we don't read books, we still read every day, and reading books can strengthen (加強(qiáng)) our abilities. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our spare time.

With a book, you can travel anywhere you want, do anything you want, and talk to anyone you want. Reading is very important in our lives, no matter your age. So I think people should read books.

1.What activity is less popular these days than before?

A. Reading a book.

B. Listening to the radio.

C. Watching TV.

D. Surfing the Internet.

2.We can learn from the second paragraph that _______.

A. reading can improve your memory

B. reading can make you interesting and attractive

C. reading can make you smarter

D. reading can reduce stress

3.The underlined word "them" in the third paragraph refers to ________.

A. the books they are reading

B. the directions on a medicine bottle

C. the good reading skills

D. the words a doctor tells a sick person

4.Some people disagree to read books because they think _________.

A. walking in the city also needs reading skills

B. driving along the road is dangerous

C. reading books is very helpful for our abilities

D. reading books just wastes their time

5.The best title of the passage can be _________.

A. People Should Enjoy Themselves

B. How We Improve Reading Skills

C. Why People Should Read Books

D. What We Love Doing in Spare Time

1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.C 【解析】 本文就“為什么人們應(yīng)該讀書”提出了自己的理由，陳述了許多閱讀的好處、閱讀的作用。 1.句意：什么活動(dòng)在現(xiàn)在這些日子里比以前更不受歡迎？A.讀一本書。B.聽收音機(jī)。C.看電視。D.上網(wǎng)沖浪。原文“People read books less often in these days.”（在這些日子里，人們不經(jīng)常...

Once there was a baby eagle （鷹）living in a nest（巢）on a clif（山崖）.The baby eagle loved

his nest. It was warm, soft and comfortable. And even better, he had all the food and love that his mother could give. Whenever the baby eagle was hungry, his mother would always come just in time with the delicious food he liked. He was growing happily day after day. But suddenly his world changed.
