How to get teenagers to read

Getting teenagers to read sounds like a hard task. 【1】Here is some advice on how to get your teenagers to read.

【2】

You could look at their school homework timetable and work out which evening they have the least amount of work to do. Make sure that your teenager is not going to an out-of-school club that evening.

Buy your teenagers a new set of books.

Research the book lists for teenagers. The Chaos Walking Trilogy and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy are suited for both boys and girls. If your teenager will never sit down to read a book, consider buying them an electronic reader like an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to encourage them to read. Make sure that the electronic（电子的）reader you buy can only be used to read. 【3】

Seize opportunities.

If they seem unimpressed then whenever you see them not doing anything constructive, encourage them to pick up one of the books you bought. If they say they don’t want the book then take them out to buy some in a bookstore. 【4】

Consider punishments.

【5】 This doesn’t work for everyone but some people find that when your teenager messes（脏乱）up, you can tell them to go to their room and read. They might start to really enjoy the book.

A. Don’t be afraid of wasting money.

B. Electronic readers are harmful to teenagers’ eyesight.

C. Figure out what time is best for your teenager to read.

D. If they still refuse then you could use reading /span>as a punishment.

E. But getting them to pick up a book is a lot easier than it sounds.

F. You’re sure to pick out a book that they really want to read there.

G. You know they could pretend to read and actually play video games.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】C

【3】G

【4】 F

【5】D

【解析】文章讲述了青少年越来越不喜欢阅读这一现象，并提出了几点建议。

【1】E这一空位于第一段，因此属于总起的段落，所以根据第一句Getting teenagers to read sounds like a hard task.和最后一句Here is a guide on how to get your teenagers to read.再结合选项可知，其实让青少年拿起书本阅读其实没有听起来那么难。故选E。

【2】C结合前后文可知，每一段的第一句都是这一段的概括，所以要结合本段的段落大意来选择，这一段主要讲了根据孩子的时间和课程安排来找时间让孩子阅读。故选C。

【3】G根据前一句Make sure that the electronic reader you buy can only be used to read.可知，电子阅读器可能会有除阅读之外的其他功能，所以孩子可能只是假装阅读却在玩电子游戏。故选G。

【4】 F根据前一句If they say they don’t want the book then take them out to buy some in a bookstore.可知，如果你给孩子买的书他不喜欢就带孩子去书店，让他自己挑选自己想读的书。故选F。

【5】D结合文章Consider punishments与选项可知这一段主要是讲述以读书为惩罚的方式让孩子们阅读。故选D。
