Rereading is a guilty pleasure for many readers. How can a keen reader abandon his to-be-read list and waste time with a book he already knows? At the same time, according to many experts, the act of rereading     1     (regard), without doubt, as the only way to understand a text.

Academics most often discuss the benefit of rereading as a way to gain deep understandings of complex texts and of the self. Teachers of early reading-age children agree that rereading improves understanding beyond     2    (base)words. For adults, rereading is necessary to understand a text well so that good critical arguments can     3    (make).

Rereading helps to build a better understanding of a book. Without rereading, many readers find     4     impossible to appreciate a writer’s subtle talents or to comprehend a text’s inner ideas and themes.

Rereading is also an act of self-reflection. The practice of purposeful rereading in itself creates a kind of self-consciousness. Since the book never changes, it functions as a constant (恒量)     5     can be used to measure the reader’s growth. It is a way to re-examine the reader himself and the changes he     6    (experience) since the initial reading.

Of course, there are possible drawbacks to rereading as well. Rereading takes time,     7    (draw) the readers away from their to-be-read list. And it’s hard to imagine     8     frustrating it can be if a beloved book falls short of your rosy memories in rereading.

According to David Galef, emotions like pleasure, excitement, and curiosity cause the reader     9    (rush) through a story and pass over the inner complexity appreciated in re-readings, and yet they are also important elements that may be dulled by those repeated readings. Furthermore, unless your rereading is focused and intentional about gaining new thoughts, it may not result     10     better understanding.

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s     1     makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative. The     2     (beautiful) of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s about the now and what     3     (contribute) to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. There are three books I reread     4     (annual). The first, which I take to reading every spring is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast.     5     (Publish) in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on     6     ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm. The     7    (three) book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight.   While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts,     8     might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open    9    (far) as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has     10    (grow) and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.

The Silk Road was a network of ancient trade routes that extended from East Asia all the way to the Mediterranean. A key section of the extensive Silk Road network is the Chang’an-Tianshan corridor(走廊),    1    stretches over a distance of around 5,000 kilometres,     2    (cover) a total of 8,700 kilometres of trade routes.

The corridor began to develop in the 2nd century BC.     3    (assign) by the emperor, the ambassador Zhang Qian    4    (journey) from Chang’an to Central Asia, seeking to build bridges between the Han Dynasty and the Western Regions. Following Zhang’s efforts, trade routes took shape and relationships    5    (strength) between the major powers of the time, with the routes network reaching as far as the Roman Empire. The network expanded    6     (gradual), playing an important role in world history between 6^th and 14^th century,     7     it remained in use until the 16th century.

At the initial stage of the Silk Road development, silk was the main item in the trade list thanks to    8    (it) light weight and high value. In addition to trade exchange, the network served    9    a bridge for cultural exchange which shaped the evolution of science, art, technology and many other areas in societies. In the modern age, through the Belt and Road Initiative, the Silk Road is once again connecting the    10     (country) along the ancient trade routes and promoting the exchanges of different civilizations.
