Passage 2

(陕西省师大附中2009届高三第四次模拟考试)

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very　__2　1__. Some stories are told　　__22__　they were true. Real people who live in a __23__　world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not　__24__　. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be　　__25__　for us.

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only　　__26__. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we　　__27__ seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than　　__28__.

We use our　__30__--which is real-and our imagination-which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.

When we read, we fill in missing information and　__36__　about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by　__37__　that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.

Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our　__38__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose　__39__　in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel　__40__　we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
