二、阅读理解
Do you often read Some people say that they seldom read because they are too busy to read, but in fact they don’t have a reading habit. A reading habit isn’t something natural (天生的). It needs to be trained. And it’s never too late to take up a reading habit.
Scientists believe proper books are very important for children to form a good reading habit. A book in rich colours and with simple pictures is a good choice for babies of three months old. When they are six months, they will become interested in easy storybooks in rich colours.
When children get old enough to read by themselves, they need proper books, too. The books should be both interesting and right for them to read. If the books are too easy or too difficult, they are not good for children to keep their reading habits.
Only buying books for children isn’t enough. For children, parents are their first teachers. Parents should read books to set an example for them. Children will follow them. Scientists say that for children, imitating (模仿)parents is a natural skill. And it’s the most valuable way for children to learn.
1. Why do some people seldom read according to the writer
A. Because they are too busy.
B. Because they have to look after their kids.
C. Because they don’t have a reading habit.
