From good reading we can get pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we will never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary , they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books will never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart’s desire.
Through books we may get the thrill of risky adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the danger of an Antarctic winter, or cross the hot sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may walk among the gay crowds of the Paris wide streets; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature , the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, and the miracles of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
1.Why do we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?
A.No one has come to disturb you.
B.Everything is so quiet and calm around you.
C.The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive.
D.Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed.

B.To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading.
C.Books can always help you to live a colorful life.

3.The underlined word “weary”(in paragraph 2) means_______.
A.to attract someone’s attention

副词/非谓语动词”。此结构在句中作状语，表时间、原因、方式、伴随等，也可以作定语。(1) with+宾语+不定式，动词不定式的逻辑主语是句子的主语，尽管宾补与宾语之间是被动关系，不定式仍用主动式而不用被动式。动词不定式常表示未发生的动作。

With all this work to do, I won’t have time to go out.

Then there were two grey reef sharks, each about one and a half metres long, which suddenly appeared from behind some coral.（教材P24)
然后还有两条灰色的珊瑚鲨，每条大约有1.5米长，它们突然从珊瑚礁后面游了出来。句中“each about one and a half metres long”实际上是独立主格结构，在此处作状语。which引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰reef sharks。“from behind”是双重介词。双重介词结构是由两个介词搭配而成，以“from+另一个介词短语” 居多，常见的有：
from above... 从……上方
from among... 从……当中
from across... 从……对面
from before... 从……以前
from behind... 从……后面
from beneath... 从……下面
from between... 从……当中
from beyond... 从……的那边
