第二节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)

The winter skies are grey and it’s cold outside. The nights come early and we spend a lot more time　 16　 and alone. Many people　 17　 winter: so cold, so dark, so boring. But I like winter because I have more time to read.

For many students reading means school; it means　 18　 . Reading is something your teacher assigns and it’s something you’re　 19　 . Reading is something you have to do, not something you want to do. But for me and many other people, reading is the most　 20　 thing we can imagine. Getting lost in a good book can　 21　 a cold winter evening disappear. Dull grey skies are no　 22　 for the fantastic adventures of Frodo in The Lord of the Rings《指环王》，or for romantic trouble-making of Jane Austen’s Emma《爱玛》, or for the youthful problems of Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye《麦田守望者》.

All of those books are studied in North American high schools. They are interesting and well written books that　 23　 young people.　 24　 , even there, many high school students don’t enjoy reading the books because they are　 25　 their school work: “Oh, my God! Two hundred pages! I’ll never be able to read　 26　 much.” But sometimes a funny thing happens. They begin to read and they begin to follow the　 27　 . Suddenly, the world inside the book becomes more exciting and more wonderful than the world they　 28　 . At the moment the thought　 29　 reading is work disappears and reading becomes　 30　 .

Reading anything is　 31　 but reading good books is a terrific way to improve your English. Good writers write English very well and　 32　 you with good examples to follow. And good books will tell you more about English　 33　 : what people think, how they talk, how they interact with each other. But don’t let me　 34　 it by telling you that reading is good for you. Just think of it as a good way to　 35　 on a cold winter evening.
