You love reading, and you're dying to get your hands on a book. With the right knowledge,

it’s easy to choose a good book！

Go to the library first. Answer these questions. What writers do you like? What are your interests? See if the library has computers. If it does, you can use it to find a certain book by a certain writer, or keywords of your interests. If you like a certain book, search the book up and read its summary(概要).That will help you decide if the book is right for you.

       Search your house next. Often good books are quietly collecting dust(灰尘) in your own house. Maybe you forget about one. Probably, you will find some books that you can read, and they won’t even cost you any money.

Then, ask someone to recommend a good book. You can ask your older brothers or sisters, your mom, your dad, your best friend, or even your English teacher. They have something in common with you and can often make excellent book recommendations. You should ask people that like the same type of books, so that you can get books that match your need.

Join a book club , please. It helps you know who else likes the same books as you, and you can read books that other members have read and have a good discussion about them.

Finally, read the first part of each book. If that holds your attention(注意力) , read a few more pages. If it still holds your attention, then it’s probably a book for you. If you have many books, this can take much time to choose from them. Keep doing this until you have a few good books.

46    to choose a good book
Go to the library	Use the computer to search books by    47    or interests. Search up a book that you like, read its summary and    48    whether to read on.
Search your house	Look through the good books that lie    49    in your house for long. You will probably find a good one that has been forgotten.
Ask someone    50    recommendations	Turn to your    51    , friends or teachers for excellent book recommendations. Ask those who share the same interest in certain types of books with you.
Join a book club	It gets you to    52    those who like the same books as you. You and other members read the same books and    53    them together.
Read the first part of each book	If the first part attracts you, keep    54    to see if it is a good for you.     55     a few good books from many will take much time.

There once lived in China a very foolish king and queen. One day the queen had a baby d    56    . When they saw their baby, they b    57    cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for all the doctors in the country and ordered them to prepare some m    58    for her.

“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right s    59    and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’ll have a beating.”

The doctors found it i    60    , but they dared not do anything a    61    the king’s order. Just then an old doctor stepped forward. “Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it

At last the king agreed and the doctors took away the little princess. On her twelfth birthday, they brought her back to her parents w    64    long black hair and beautiful teeth. The king and queen were very happy and gave the doctors expensive p    65    .
