How to Turn Your Child into a Lifelong Bookworm

Literacy is one of the most important skills we will ever develop over our lifetimes. Most small children love books, looking at the pictures and hearing the story, but as they get older they often move away from books.     1    

Join the library

Libraries have changed a lot in recent years.     2     Take your child regularly and encourage them to take out books on whatever subject interests them.

Not just novels

Many parents think that reading counts if the child is reading a work of fiction or a novel.     3     Non-fiction books are particularly attractive to boys. Kids especially love the sorts of books which allow them to make a decision between various paths and choose their own endings.

Set an example

If your child never sees you reading, they aren’t going to pick up a book either.     4     Having plenty of books around the house makes reading more accessible and the normal thing to do when bored. If you struggle with reading and literacy, do something about it by going back to college or attending a special adult literacy course.

Make their own books

If your child dislikes reading, think about encouraging them to start writing their own stories and novels. Buy them a special notebook. Allow them to write whatever captures their imagination, and don’t worry too much about messy handwriting or poor spelling.     5    

A.So how do you keep your kids interested in books?
B.As long as a child is reading, it doesn’t matter what they are reading.
C.Libraries will have a great range of books for children.
D.There are newspapers printed especially for children.
E.Reading and writing are often thought of as two separate issues.
F.The idea is to cause an interest in books, reading and fiction, and the rest will develop over time.
G.Next time pick up a newspaper or a book and encourage your child to sit with you and read too.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了盆景植物的种植方式,将植物种在很小的容器里,并以抑制其生长的方式种植。如果护理得当,盆景植物可以活得很久。

【推荐1】Imagine walking by a maple (枫树) tree that is no taller than a ruler. You may think that this is a special type of miniature tree, but it actually isn’t! Creating a tree like this is a form of art called bonsai. Bonsai are tiny trees grown in small pots. Bonsai can be any kind of tree. They just need to be planted in a small container and cultivated in a way that stunts their growth.

Cultivating, or taking care of, a bonsai tree requires patience and care. Pruning — removing branches, leaves, and roots — is an important part of raising bonsai. It keeps the trees small, and it also controls their shape. Pinching off new buds (嫩芽) and tying wire around branches help create a beautiful design. These processes allow the grower to control what shape the bonsai tree will take as it develops.

People who raise bonsai want their trees to look like they belong in nature. Even though it is contained in a pot, a bonsai tree should look similar to its larger counterpart (相对物,参照物). For example, the bonsai maple should have the same forked branches and vibrant leaves as the full-sized maple. This makes the bonsai a tiny copy of the full-sized maple that towers overhead.

Like other plants, bonsai need water and food from the soil. In order to keep bonsai the proper size, you need to carefully control the amount of water and fertilizer you provide. If you want to grow a bonsai, it is best to start with a species that grows in your area. Most bonsai do best when kept outdoors, so they need to be able to survive the weather. If kept indoors, the bonsai must be placed near a window. Interestingly, with proper care, bonsai can live for a hundred years or more.

1. Why does a bonsai tree need pruning frequently?
A.To control its size.
B.To help it grow well.
C.To save fertilizer and water.
D.To create a shape as designed.
2. What example does the bonsai maple in Para. 3 serve as?
A.One of a larger counterpart.
B.A tiny copy of the full-sized maple.
C.One looking like its counterpart in nature.
D.One with forked branches and vibrant leaver.
3. What advice is given to a bonsai beginner?
A.To keep the bonsai indoors.
B.To start with a native species.
C.To keep bonsai the proper size.
D.To control the amount of water.
4. Which would be a best title for this passage?
A.Bonsai — a special hobby
B.How to be bonsai grower
C.What does bonsai refer to?
D.Why is bonsai so popular?

文章大意:本文是应用文。文章主要介绍如何成为一名旅行作家这一冒险职业的方法。

【推荐2】For most people, traveling through the mountains or sampling French cuisine is a rare treat.     1     If you intend to become a travel writer, here is how you can get on your professional adventure.

Learn to be a descriptive writer.

People come to travel writing from all walks of life, and publications tend to be concerned with your ability to deliver a great piece over any advanced degree. It’s important to learn skills to describe places so that your readers can feel as if they were personally on the scene.     2    

Immerse readers with your descriptive writing.

Readers want you to take them on a journey with you.     3     What you need to do is evoke (唤起) the five senses using descriptive writing techniques. The use of simile and expressive language brings the piece to life and makes the readers feel like they’re traveling along with you.

Cherry-pick the details that will tell the best story.

    4     To make a stronger piece, you need to focus on the right stories and details, which means knowing what to add and what you can leave out. Identifying what’s most important and most interesting to your audience makes for more absorbing writing.

    5    

You might be asked to write about a topic you aren’t familiar with or you might need to learn more about a place’s history or background to give your piece greater context. Doing research in advance will allow you to create an accurate and well-informed story.

Travel writing allows you to satisfy your strong desire for travel and make a living of it. It is also a way to connect people across cultures and great distances and build an appreciation for the uniqueness and diversity around us.

A.Preparation is key.
B.You don’t necessarily pay for their trip.
C.Make a living by working as a travel writer.
D.A descriptive piece should leave out the details.
E.For travel writers, it might just be another day on the job.
F.To achieve this, you might as well take a travel writing course.
G.Though you may have recorded many interesting details, you can’t include everything.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些快速建立友谊的方法。

【推荐3】Many people desire stronger, more authentic friendships as an adult.     1     . How do you skip the awkward chit-chat phase and hit the fast-forward button on a potential friendship? I’ve learned a few things.

Give yourself permission to bore people

We all know the safe topics to broach when you first meet someone. But this tendency to play it safe can delay knowing whether you are compatible with a potential friend.     2    . “What do you think is the best television finale of all time?” This is a great conversation starter as long as it interests you. And if the other person slowly backs away, then you’ve just saved yourself hours of chatting.

    3    

Often our friendships feel superficial because they are built on a foundation of gossip. This is because it’s human nature to focus on a third person when we are anxious. We share spicy updates about former classmates with our high school friends, or grab a drink with colleagues and complain about the boss. But a friendship built on gossip can leave both people feeling exhausted and depressed after they hang out.

If a friend starts to give you updates on other people you know, it can be helpful to say, “I want to hear about what’s going on with you.” Or you can ask yourself, “What would I share about myself if I were with my best friend right now?”     4    

Be curious about who people are, and who they want to be

    5    . They are also able to share their struggles without fear of judgment. A great way to deepen a friendship is to ask someone, “What has been challenging for you the last year?” Or “What’s a belief you have that has changed over the course of your life?” These are questions we rarely ask each other, but they reveal so much about who we are, and who we’re trying to be.

A.Focus on the gossip
B.Cut back on the gossip
C.Then jump to the heart of things
D.Rather than sticking with superficial chatter, go straight to what excites you
E.True friends strive to know each other’s thinking about difficult subjects
F.But the process of building these relationships can prove slow and frustrating
G.Ask yourself what’s worth sharing about yourself and knowing about others
