1 . When I was in primary school, I fell in love with reading. The books _______ me to a wonderful world. The more I read, the more I wanted to know. However, my parents _______ afford so many books. I had to solve the problem myself.

There was a book shop near my home. One day I walked into _______ shop and picked up a book. I didn’t know whether _______ there without buying any books. _______ I wasn’t noticed, I just read a few pages and then put it back. Luckily, no one noticed me. After that, I went there to read every day. Several days later, while I was reading, the owner came up and asked, “You like reading?” I looked down and replied _______, “Yes.” “Don’t worry,” he said with a smile. “You may read books here _______ you help me clean the shop.” I felt quite surprised, “Really? It’s so kind of you!” I was very happy that I _______ to read there. From then on, I spent a little time cleaning the shop. After that, I quietly read there. That way, I read lots of books. I became one of _______ writers in our school. I even won some prizes in writing.

Now studying in high school, I can borrow books __________ library. My hobby of reading is kept. It will make a big difference to my life.
