【解析】

这是一篇说明文。阅读是很好的习惯，怎么养成阅读的习惯，文章给出了一些建议。

1.根据上文If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task.可知，如果你有一本难懂的书，而且你正强迫自己看完它，那看起来就像是一项任务。如果这样的话，不如放弃这本书，找另外一本你喜欢的。G选项符合语境，故选G。

2.根据下文For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.可知，如果你独自一人吃饭，在早餐、午餐甚至晚餐时都要养成阅读的习惯。这意味着，不管你多么忙，你都会阅读，F选项是上文自然的结果，故选F。

3.根据上文Always carry a book.可知，无论去哪里，都带着一本书，D选项Wherever you go, take a book with you.是对上文进一步的解释说明，故选D。

4.根据下文Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair.可知，要找一个安静的地方，B选项Find a quiet place.概括本段内容，故选B。

5.根据上文If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet.可知，如果想阅读太多，尽可能减少在电视和网上的时间，再根据下文Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet/ TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.可知，在互联网/电视上减少的时间你都可以用来阅读，这可以创造数小时的读书时间。所以C选项This may be difficult for some people.(这可能对某些人来说很难)连接上下文，故选C。
