Just as a famous saying （1）g ， "Reading is to success what water is to fish．" Reading is very important for all humans． It can open many （2）d and can lead you into a path to success． It's quite clear that every successful person has a good （3）h of reading． This is （4）b reading is an important way to get the information required to understand something． For example， a good doctor has to know the latest development in （5）m by reading．
Then， how can you develop an interest in reading？ There is only one way． Let me explain this to you． If you want to learn how to ride a bike， you have to get on the bike as many times as possible （6）u you can ride skillful． It works the same way with reading． If you want to improve your reading， try to read as （7）m as you can． When you finish reading your first book， take another book and do the same． If you are going out， take a magazine， a book， an article or something （8）e to read． When you are reading， try to understand （9）w message the writer is giving to you．
So， parents should help to get their children to read as early as possible． Studies have （10）s that reading to your unborn child is very good． In this way， your child will like reading later．
Reading is always a wonderful time． Good books are good friends．
As you've just found out， opening a book doesn't require much effort． However， even that would be （1）i if you spent the night on the streets．
After lying for hours on cold ground， with only a thin sleeping bag to protect you from rain or ice， your fingers would probably be so numb（麻木的）that you could hardly （2）m them． You'd most likely spend the day trying to find something to cat and somewhere to shelter from the freezing cold．
You might be surprised to hear that the number of people sleeping rough（露宿）in London has doubled in the last five years and has （3）i by 30% across the rest of the country during the last two years．
Once we bring a homeless person out of the freezing cold， we need your help to give him a （4）w welcome at St Mungo's very much．
Will you please give a Christmas gift of £25， which could （5）p a homeless person with a St Mungo's welcome pack？ It could have a towel， shampoo， soap（肥皂）， so a homeless person can have a hot （6）s and a proper clean up． The difference you could make won't end there． You see， welcoming someone into warmth and safety is just the （7）b ． You really could enable someone to change their life for good．
For Harvey， it was losing his job that led to him becoming homeless． Since Harvey was welcomed into St Mungo's， he has received （8）t for his health and so much more． After he took courses in useful life skills， he recently moved into his own flat．
With your gift， you could help us offer a warm welcome to someone （9）l Harvey who's come in from the freezing streets． I'm sure you'll a（10） that's a wonderful present to give at Christmas． I hope you will send £25， or as much as you can， today．

On Sunday morning， we're going to Hyde Park，and we're going home by p（10） in the afternoon．
It's my dream trip ﹣and it's happening!

Every year in Bath，English，there is a special（51）f ．People（52）d up in old clothes and have concerts and dancing parties．It is（53）c the Jane Austen Festival．
Jane Austen is an English writer．This year，the subject is about her book Pride and Prejudice （《傲慢与偏见》），which has a（54）h of 200years．
Born in Steventon，English，1775，Austen was（55）f for her humorous words and clever ideas．Most of her novels are about women in 18th century England．At that time，if a（56）w wanted to have a happy life，she had to marry a rich man．But Austen said that a woman should（57）m for her self，not for money．So her characters were often strong enough．
Pride and Prejudice is the（58）m famous novel by Austen．It tells a romantic story（59）b a young woman Elizabeth and a tall，rich and handsome man，Mr．Darcy．There are many（60）d art forms of it：films，televisions and musicals．
All of Austen's novels are about a small part of English country life．But they tell us that small things can still be beautiful，too．
Is it stressful and boring working at Google？Not at all!In fact，Google has the （71）b working environment among the big companies（公司）in the United States．
The working environment is quite relaxing at Google．The company encourages employees（雇员）to do （72）w they want in the office．They can write down their ideas on the wall．When they are （73）t ，they can take breaks on the sofa．Animal lovers can （74）e bring their pets to work．
Google is home to every employee．There are game rooms，hair salons（店，厅），restaurants and gyms．（75）A work，employees can have a swim in the swimming pool or enjoy a massage （按摩）．The company （76）a encourages them to learn new things．It offers a number of interesting free courses such as sign language，cooking，drawing and playing the piano．
There is an interesting rule at Google﹣no one should be 35meters away from （77）f ．
Coffee bars and open kitchens are everywhere．All food is free．There are thousands of different dishes in the main restaurant．One of its managers says，"We care for our employees'（78）h ，so we encourage them to have healthy food．Our research shows that if people are provided with enough food，they make better choices．"
To work hard and work well，you need to （79）l what you are working on and where
you are working．Google believes that an interesting and pleasant （80）s helps people think more creatively．So it is trying hard to keep its title（头衔）as the happiest workplace in the world．
Sometimes we fall in love with something at once and sometimes it takes long．The same is true with poems．If we're lucky（1）e ， we open a book and find a poem that attracts us at once．But usually we need to spend a little（2）t or make a little effort to truly understand a poem， Today I′d like to talk about reading poems in ways that make the experience better．
Reading a poem repeatedly will deepen your understanding of it．Sometimes a poem that seems（3）b on first reading becomes interesting with more reading．A poem that feels meaningless becomes deeper and more meaningful．
And sometimes you′re just not in the right mood the first time you read a poem， but（4）l it touches your heart．
Keep a（5）d at hand when you are reading poems． Poets like to use unusual words．Instead of skipping over（跳过） these words or trying to（6）g their meanings， look them up．
Read aloud and listen to the poem．Reading aloud will make the poem′s thythm clear．Besides，a poet′s reading is very helpful（7）b we can understand the poem's meanings from where the poet places emphasis（强调） or pauses（停顿）．
After you finish reading a poem， take a few moments to consider（8）w it is saying．Sometimes its meanings are better understood（9）t repeated reading．Other times they need our careful and deep thought on a poem．
It is（10）h to say whether there's a right or wrong way to read poems， but reading practices will enrich your experience， increase your enjoyment， and deepen your understanding of any poem．
One day， when a boy named Ted returned from school in a hurry， his mother complained， "It is six o'clock， and your school c（46） at four ﹣ where have you been？"
"Oh， mom，" said Ted， "when we play ball games， we f （47） everything else． We don't think of the time． Is supper ready？"
The boy's mother believed him． Ted's a（48） led her to think that he had been playing with his classmates． But he hadn't been playing at all．
He had been "kept in" by the school librarian， because he had made the l（49） in a complete mess． He didn't like to tell his mother about that． He wished her to think that he had been playing．
"What a s（50） it is for you to try to deceive（欺骗） your mother!" said something in Ted's heart， as he q （51） sat down to his supper．
"I don't care，" said the boy to h（52） ． "I don't care． I didn't tell a lie ﹣ I didn't say that I was playing．"
"But，" said the voice， "you used words which m（53） your mother think that you had been playing， and that was s （54） to what you had said so．"
"I didn't tell a lie．" said Ted．
Did Ted tell a lie， or did he not？ What do you think？
If we use words which can deceive others， we tell a lie； and Ted's lie was a bad one， for it sounded so like the t （55） ． A lie that sounds true is the worst kind of lie．
A young couple decided to go c（1） in the mountains to celebrate their first year of marriage（结婚）． They took with them the t（2） they would need ﹣ warm clothes， food and a tent．

His wife said："That's right． W（8） does that mean to you？ "
The husband said："Well， if there are so many stars out there ， that means there might a（9） be a planet just like ours． And if that's true， then there could be life on one of those planets． That's kind of e（10） !"
His wife said："You are wrong． It means that someone has stolen our tent! "
