2 . Reading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.

3 . Why we still need to read Dickens

Walk into any bookstore, and you can hardly avoid “bumping into” Charles Dickens. Many of Dickens’ works still sell well today.    1    

As someone who teaches Dickens, the question of why we still read him is often on my mind.     2     One day nearly 10 years ago, however, when I was giving a lecture, I was telling the students that for Victorian readers, Dickens’s writing was a “tune-in-next-week” type of thing that generated crazes.     3     “But why should we still read this stuff?” the student asked. The answer I gave was only acceptable, “Because he teacher you how to think,” I said.

The question annoyed me for years, for years, and for years I told myself answers, but never with complete satisfaction. We read Dickens because he is not just a man of his own times, but also a man for our times. We read Dickens because we can learn from experiences of his characters almost as easily as we can learn from our own experiences.

    4     But these are not exactly the reason why I read Dickens. My search for an answer continued until one day a text message came from a student of mine. “We still read Dickens’s novels,” she wrote, “because they tell us why we are what we are.” Simple as it was, that’s the explanation I had sought for years.

Dickens shines a light on who we are during the best of times and worst of times.     5     If you have time, go to pick up one of his many novels, read it and enjoy what it has to tell you about yourself.

A．Then a hand shot up.

B．I know that wasn’t really the reason.

C．And they are placed on outstanding shelves.

D．That question was never more troubling.

E．That’s why we still need to read him today.

F．I already know who it is I’ll meet in those novels.

G．These are all wonderful reasons to read Dickens.

5 . How do you deal with hunger of your stomach？ Eat your favorite meal and keep quiet after that？    1     But it never lets you know， because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars.So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow.When mind loses its freedom to grow， creativity sets a full stop.This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next？”， “Why can’t I think？”

    2     Why reading but not watching TV？ It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood.Since it develops other aspects of our life， we have to get help from reading.

Once you read a book， you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you.     3       Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas.If it is used many times， the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things， which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams！

This is nothing but creativity.     4     Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.

So guys， do give food to your thoughts by reading， reading and more reading.     5       Go and grab a book！

A．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.

B．Also this makes a great contribution to your vocabulary.

C．Reading can help you make more friends as well.

D．Now what are you waiting for？

E．Just like your stomach， your mind is also hungry.

F．Why not do some reading while you are hungry？

G．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.

6 . A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.

●Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task.     1    

●Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes.    2     For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.

●Always carry a book.     3    When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.

●    4    Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There shouldn’t be a television or a computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/ roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.

●Reduce television/ the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet.     5    Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet/ TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.

A．Go to bookstores.

B．Find a quiet place.

C．This may be difficult for some people.

D．Wherever you go, take a book with you.

E．Have some good tea or coffee while you read.

F．It means you will read no matter how busy you are.

G．If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love.
