Do you know how to pick a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.
Start With Your Interest. 1. . You can pick something that you love to read, not for school. They can be ancient martial (武术) arts, computers, or fashion design. You name it, there are books about it.
What’s Your Type? Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books, like novels, can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 2. . Many of them read like novels from start to finish.
Read the description. The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you pick future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which authors praised the book. 3..
Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 4.. Find out and give them a read — then you can share your thoughts about the book.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading a lot more if you find a quiet place and make time for the book. 5. You can put on some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!
A. How about your brothers and sisters?
B. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.
C. Reading is a good way to improve your English.
D. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate (全神贯注) on it.
E. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find books you like by those authors, too.
F. So you should read as much as possible when you are free.
G. Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school.

He is both a great director and a great animator (卡通片制作者). He is Japan’s Walt Disney.
Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced his retirement on September 6. Here are some key words about his films.
Good and evil (邪恶)
Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he creates tend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good and evil is because he sees the 21st century as a complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.
Children
The heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.
Sky and water
Two of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme — Miyazaki has never done a film without flying of some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free.
Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes the unexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.
Peace
Miyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.
1.What can we know about good and evil from Miyazaki’s films?
A. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.
B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.
C. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.
D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.
2.According to the article, children in Miyazaki’s films are ______.
A. all little teen-aged girls B. always able to see spirits
C. curious trouble makers D. kind to people and creatures
3.Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.
A. the relation between sky and water
B. his hate for gravity since his childhood
C. his desire to be free from gravity
D. his love for water that can flood the world
4.In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.
A. the appealing castle in the sky
B. children with the problems of growing up
C. objects magically floating on the water
D. a world left in ruins in the end
