Reading is a task that we all do either for enjoyment or education, but sometimes the book we have to read may lack the attraction. Here are some tips on avoiding getting bored while reading.

Try to step into the world of literature(文学) you are reading. __56___ If the wind is blowing, imagine how the leaves move with each movement of air.

Make your reading area unlike your sleeping area. If you sleep with the radio on, then shut it off. __57__ Make the area you read in an area that feels almost uncomfortable to sleep in. This will keep you from becoming sleepy.

__58__ If you are reading for a book report , then take breaks from time to time to put what you are reading into some kind of context（语境） that you can put into the report.

Take a break once in a while. __59___ You’d better offer yourself short breaks while reading in case you are too tired, which may make you give up.

Find a friend. ___60__ Try to read the same book. Even if you read different books, you can tell him or her how good the book is. Also, a friend can encourage you to read.

E. Don’t just read the words on the page; picture them in your mind.

F. Determine what you are supposed to get from the reading material.

G. If you don’t like lights on when you are asleep, then turn on the lights.

It’s not news that we spend more time than ever texting and online.1 Yes, that’s right: a 2010 study shows that more teens are reading good old-fashioned, ink-on-paper books.

Reading is a good way to discover the next big thing and to learn a little more about yourself while you’re at it.2 Here are some tips.

Start with your interests

Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school. You can pick something that’s all about your interests, whether it’s ancient martial arts, computers, or fashion design.

Reading the blurbs(简介)

The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are called “blurbs”. 3if you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes(if there are any) and see which authors praised the book. Often, they’ll have similar styles and you might find you like books by those authors too.

Ask an expert

4 Explain your interests--- rock stars, sports teams, historical events, humors, whatever you’re into—and any writers you like, and your librarian can point you toward books that you’ll love.

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(ideally without lyrics), get yourself some tea and a comfy spot, and let yourself be carried away by the book.

You’ll see that time does fly when you are reading something you love!

A．Join a group with your friends and people you trust.

B．But do you know how to pick a book you’ll really like?

C．But did you know that we also spend more time reading?

D．Your local library can hook you up with a whole lot of great book ideas.

E. What was your mother’s favorite book when she was your age or your dad’s?

F. We all multitask, but most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate and focus on it.

G. They give you an idea of what the book is about, and can also help you pick future books too.
