The other day, I was praising by my teacher at the class meeting. He says before the whole class that only if we put our heart into our lessons could we make a great progress. He also said I set a good example to all of my classmate and that I memorized all the words of Unit 1 as if I was not good at English. He also added that anyone should learn from me. Heard what the teacher said, I was more than glad and my heart beat wild. At the same time, I made my mind to study harder. From my own experience, I’ve learned that several words of praise can makes a great difference to someone.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language. ____1____
For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple. Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words and can involve complex themes. Children’s books are a great place to start. ____2____ Dr Seuss writes his books in thyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.
____3____ The book isn’t too long and if you’ve seen the film it may be easier to follow. If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm’s I am David is a good read.
If you’re not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl’s Revolting Rhymes? ____4____ Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves’s Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.
My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English. ____5____
A. Dr Seuss’s books are guaranteed to make you laugh.
B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.
C. Reading can bring you a lot of fun as well as knowledge.
D. How much you can understand a book depends on your vocabulary.
E. For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.
F. This way, you’re more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.
G. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in thyme.
