People read books less often these days. With the invention of TVs, computer games, the Internet and mobile phones, 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 a great wealth（财富）of learning and are at a cheaper price than taking a course（课程）. Books can make people cleverer, because heavy readers have greater knowledge of how things work and who or what people are.

Everything requires reading. Imagine trying to do something as simple as reading the notes on a medicine bottle without good reading skills. Someone may not understand them and become very sick.

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 our abilities（能力）. Reading is one of the greatest things we can do in our free 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 how old you are. So I think people should read books.

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

A．Reading books.	B．Shopping online.
C．Watching TV.	D．Playing computer games.

27. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A．Reading can improve your memory.

B．Reading can make your life interesting.

C．Reading can make you smarter.

D．Reading can make you relax.

28. Why do some people not read books?

A．They have already got enough reading skills.

B．Books are too expensive.

C．Reading books makes them lovely.

D．Reading books just wastes their time.

29. What does the underlined word “strengthen” probably mean?

A．Follow.

B．Improve.

C．Test.

D．Show.

30. What is the best title for the passage?

A．People Should Enjoy Themselves

B．How We Improve Reading Skills

C．Why People Should Read Books

D．What We Love Doing in Our Free Time

Nowadays, a new method is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow the rules and the behavior standards（行为标准）for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work in the exams? If you have, don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played online games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you were doing homework.

Learn to be loving and caring（体贴的）. Good students love animals and care for other people.

Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you get angry with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. You shouldn’t only think of yourself. You should also think of others.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you’ll discover Earth II someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Use the Internet carefully. We can do many things on the Internet, such as reading news, chatting with someone. Maybe we do not know who they are, but we can still play games with them. The Internet can also be very useful for your studies. Some websites aren’t for kids, so make sure to visit the good ones. Can’t you find any websites that are good for you?

1、2 题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下全文的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。
31. It would be ________ when more people work together.
32. We should welcome new ideas, because they ________ for everyone.
33. Write two things you can do on the Internet according to the passage.
