Reading books is a good h 1 for all kinds of reasons.
First, reading books is fun. You can always keep yourself interested and help you to have an enjoyable time if you like reading. This is especially u 2 when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.
Next, you can read a book a 3 : in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed—even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then s 4 again.
A 5 good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This m 6 that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much e 7 . Many school subjects depend on(依靠) good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.
Some people say that reading is out of date(过时). This is not t 8 . You have to be able to read to use a computer and, the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is never out of date!
Good readers are most likely to be good w 9 , too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best. W 10
other hobby could be more useful, or more enjoyable

A mother camel was walking with her son through the desert(沙漠). They were looking for water and grass.
The son asked his mother what water and grass looked like. The mother replied that water was blue and looked like the sky, while grass was green and nice.
After they had walked a day and a night, her son suddenly cried, “Look, mother, there’s water and grass over there.”
“What a foolish(傻) talk, child!”
The water and grass were on the left, while the desert was on the right. Because the mother camel had been blind in her left eye since she was a baby, she could see nothing with her left eye.
After they had gone on another day and night, the young camel found a second oasis(绿洲), but his mother still did not believe him. She said that was not an oasis, but a desert. She said she knew more than her son and couldn’t be wrong.

How I study English
I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can’t learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I’m good at it. I’m very glad to tell you something about how I study English.
First, I think an interest(爱好) in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject—English. It was fresh for me. I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice. I often think how interesting English is!
Second, I think English is a foreign language. I should learn it well in the following ways: Listen to the teacher carefully, speak bravely, read aloud and have a good vocabulary(词汇). Then practice again and again, never be tired. And I also have a good habit: Asking whenever(不论何时) I have a question. I must make it clear by asking our English teacher. How happy I am when I understand!
Besides this, I often read English stories, jokes and easy novels. From these I know English is not only interesting, but help me understand a lot of things. So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines, and I often write English diaries. English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years. I always keep the first position in our school. From these words, I hope every student can learn English well.
How to learn English well
▲ Some students think it 1 for them to study English well.
▲ First, be 2 in English and work 3 at it because English is a 4 subject in Grade One.
▲ Second, listen to the teacher carefully, be a 5 speaker, read aloud and try to know as 6 English words as you can.
▲ Besides, 7 more reading and that will help you understand a lot.
▲ Finally, do some 8 from magazines and keep diaries 9 English. Try to make 10 with English.

All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great wish: to be the lucky customer(消费者) who did not have to pay for her shopping. The notice just inside the entrance said, “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods(货物). This may be your lucky day!”
For several weeks, Mrs Edward and many of her friends hoped to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to persuade(劝说) her to stop buying things she did not need, but she didn’t listen to him. She hoped one day the manager of the supermarket would come to her and say, “Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.”
One Friday afternoon, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy some tea. She went back to the supermarket, got the tea and went toward the cash desk. As she did so, she saw the manager come up to her. “Madam,” he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free.”

Celebrating New Year’s Day is one of the oldest and most exciting traditions around the world.
