4 . You should try your best to create your own family library so that you and your family are always learning. "It is a great mistake to think that education is finished when young people leave school. Education is never finished even if you grow older," said Mrs Child in The Mother's Book. "Collecting a library of books in your home is really helpful to your family. ”

"What is really interesting about having so many books in your home is that a book you purchase has a chapter about the deeper knowledge of your favorite subject at school," said a university graduate. Researchers in a study tries to identify what parents do has an influence on how well their children do on standardized tests. One positive aspect they find is the availability of a large number of books at home. This has a stronger connection, especially when you read to your children every day. The more books your older kids have access to at home, the more likely they are just to be reading for fun, rather than having to wait for weekly trips to the library.

John Henry, one educated parent, said, "I have been homeschooling my children using the philosophy of A Thomas Jeffer son Education. This philosophy of learning is based on the reading of classic books. ” Clinton Fadiman said, "When you reread a classic, you do not see more in the book than you did before； you see more in you than before. " Classic books also make you smarter and wiser! The wisdom comes in the examples in the lives of the characters.

"It is within your power to guide your youth in their reading and to cultivate in their hearts a desire for good books. It is the most unfortunate if a person is not possessed with the desire for good reading. The reading habit, like charity, should begin at home," said Mrs Child.

C．It's necessary to create a family library.

2. How does the author explain the effect of reading classic books at home in paragraph 3?

A．By quoting others ’words.	B．By questioning.
C．By imagination.	D．By analyzing research data.

3. What can we learn from what Mrs Child said?

A．East or west, home is best.

B．One is never too old to learn.

C．He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

D．Charity is the soul, rather than the virtues of hand.

C．Which Is Better, a Home Library or a Public Library?

D．Why Not Have Your Own Library of Books at Home?

5 . Do you want to give your child the best start in life？ Helping him to become a good, confident reader is one of the most valuable things you can do. These simple little things below take up your little time.     1    

● Let your kid "catch" you reading. Buy a mystery novel or a fashion magazine the

next time you're at the grocery store. Maybe you guess it．    2    

● Ask your child about what he's reading at school and at home.     3    . So

care about your child and get your child to talk about what his class is reading. If time is short, you can even do this on the drive home from school or while you're getting dinner ready．

● There are words all around. Point them out!     4     They're also on menus

and the backs of boxes. Point them out to your child. Ask him if he can read a word
you've both just seen, and if he doesn't know what it means, make a point of looking it
up in a dictionary when you get home．

●    5    This trick works for kids of almost any age. For the youngest kids, hearing a bedtime story makes them realize that books have words, and those words tell them many things. Older children can sit next to you and read along. Kids who are reading on their own might even want to read a story to you．

A．Turn bedtime into "story time"．

B．But they can help develop your child into a good reader and writer．

C．Move your child into reading independently．

D．Words are on subway signs and the sides of buses．

E．That just lets your kid see you reading and enjoying it．

F．Most kids love to talk when their parents are paying much attention．

G．However, they can make a big difference if your child is struggling to learn to read．
