Julie enjoyed reading when young. She grew up in       key middle school in her city,       her parents both taught Chinese. That meant she was surrounded by either teachers who were busy teaching or students who        (devote) to their studies. So she developed her love of       .
Her interest       reading also benefited from the fact that       parents only let her watch half an hour of TV a day. She learned to use her mind and imagination to entertain      . It’s not really      (surprise) that reading became her vocation. When not reading she enjoyed watching films, walking and relaxing with her friends. Reading brought her much      (please) and she never wanted to stop learning. Not only did reading enrich her knowledge       it improved her learning scores.
