Do you know how to choose a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.
Start With Your Interest. 1. . You can choose something you love to read, not for school. They can be something about cooking, computers, or fashion design.
What’s Your Type? Do you prefer fiction（小说）or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books can take 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 are interesting from beginning to end.
Read the introductions. The reviews and quotes（引语）in the book may give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you choose future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which writers 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 read them, then your family can share the thoughts about the book.
Finally, you’ll probably enjoy the book much more if you find a quiet place and make time for it. 5. . But you can also play 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. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.
B. Often, they have similar styles and you might find books you like by those writers, too.
C. Reading is a good way to improve your English.
D. Reading for fun isn’t like reading for school.
E. How about your brothers and sisters?
F. So you should read as much as possible when you are free.
G. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate on it.
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Werewolves (狼人) aren’t the only creatures affected by the moon’s cycles（周期）. A full moon also affects people’s sleep more or less, reports a Swiss team of scientists. Even people who sleep in a lab without windows could reduce their sleeping time a little once a month.
To test the moon’s influence, 33 adults of both sexes and ages of many kinds spent several nights in a sleep lab. As they slept, researchers recorded their brain activity, eye movements and hormone levels (荷尔蒙水平). On nights closer to a full moon, the sleepers took an average of five minutes longer to fall asleep, and slept for 20 minutes less. In addition, brain activity fell by 30 percent during the sleep. And hormone levels that help control sleep cycles went down. On these nights, the sleepers complained they couldn’t sleep well even though they didn’t know the moon’s cycle. On the bright side, no sleeper turned into a werewolf.
The Swiss team doesn’t know how the moon affects sleep. The gravity (重力) of the moon causes ocean tides（潮汐）to rise and fall. But that force is too weak to affect sleep, Gajochen says. He believed some body’s biological clock may be affected by the moon cycles. There may be another reason, says David Dinges. This sleep researcher at the University Of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia says that the body clock is very sensitive（敏感的）to light at night. Those sleepers could have been affected by having too much moonlight before arriving at the lab.
1.The writer mentioned “werewolves” in the first paragraph to ________.
A. show there are the moon’s cycles
B. attract people’s attention to the report
C. introduce a creature to readers
D. ask people not to sleep alone in the lab
2.What happened to the sleepers during the experiment on a full moon?
A. They slept for about five minutes longer.
B. They could only sleep for 20 minutes.
C. Their brains were not as active as they were
D. They complained they were too tired to sleep.
3.The last paragraph is developed mainly by ________.
A. analyzing (分析) reasons B. explaining differences
C. making comparisons D. following the time order
4.The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the sleeping problems caused by the moon’s cycles
B. the influence of the moon on human sleeping habits
C. the moon’s influence on sleeping and its possible reasons
D. the ways to get a better sleep on a full moon night
