The holiday’s upon us.After months of study, you have some time to yourself.So, why not read a book? Well, some people will say, “Why trouble with books? We have the Internet and other media (媒體) that offer a lot more colorful programs.Books are history!”
But don’t be fooled.There’s still a lot to be said for reading-and reading as widely as possible.
(1) One clear reason is that a well-chosen ______ is a wonderful collection of ______ and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course.Believe me, it’s far easier to get new English words and expressions from a book or article than it is from the TV or the Internet.
(2) But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply cannot. The webpage(網(wǎng)頁)is always full of pictures and the text is often designed to make it as easy to read as possible.
Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily it’s of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level.For that, there’s still no substitute(替代品)for a book.
But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself.You can choose what you want to read.It’s hard work, but while you are reading, you’ll find that what once seemed like a duty is now a pleasure.Reading can bring us pleasure.
小題1:在(1)句空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)脑~:___________  ___________
小題2:把(2) 劃線句子翻譯成中文:_______________________________________
小題3:回答問題: How many reasons for reading books does the text mention?
_________________________________________________________________
小題4:在文中找出與下面句子意思相近的句子:It’s nearly useless.
_________________________________________________________________
小題5:在文中找出最能表達(dá)文章主題的句子:
_________________________________________________________________

小題1:句意:精心挑選的書是優(yōu)美語句的結(jié)合book, words
小題2:更重要的一點是書可以給你現(xiàn)代媒體不能給予的東西。
小題3:Three.
小題4:It’s of little use.
小題5:Reading can bring us pleasure.

小題1:book, words
小題2:翻譯這句話的意思:第一個that引導(dǎo)的表語從句,第二個that modern media simply cannot.引導(dǎo)定語從句修飾something,更重要的一點是書可以給你現(xiàn)代媒體不能給予的東西。
小題3:文章第三段的句子,One clear reason is that a well-chosen 第四段的句子:But an even more important point is that books give you something that modern media simply cannot.和第六段的句子:But perhaps the best single reason is that simply choosing what you read and doing it by yourself means that it’s something you do by and for yourself.可知是三個原因:Three.
小題4:兩句話的意思都是:這是沒有什么用的:It’s of little use.
小題5:文章的最后一句話點題:Reading can bring us pleasure.

Most schools are trying hard to improve their lunch programs and they want to offer the best food they can.
Even if your school provides healthy options(選擇),you may still want to have something delicious outside.
How do you take control? Take a packed lunch to school!
Here are the four reasons to pack your lunch and snacks at least twice a week.
Control  Have you ever waited in the lunch line only to find when you get to the front that you don’t like what they’re serving?
Variety  If you’re eating the same food all the time , your body probably feels ready for a change. Packing lunch a couple of times a week means you can enjoy some favorites that you might not find at every school.
Money Serving Packing healthy snacks so that you needn’t go out for a fast-food lunch, chocolate or a soda! If so, you will save much money. And you can buy something you need.
Warm Feeling   Remember when your mom or dad used to pack your lunch? Pack a lunch for yourself, maybe that is your favorite healthy food.
Whether you pack or eat in the cafeteria(自助食堂),what’s important is that you make right choices. If you are worried that cafeteria doesn’t offer enough healthy choices, try to make changes. Ask a teacher or someone in food service for advice on hoe to get started.

Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what’s for dinner tomorrow, she may say “I’ll play it by ear”, that means she doesn’t have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they’re not talking about music.
There’re many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don’t necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It’s not about the color of your hand! You’re a green hand when you are very new at your work and don’t have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?
小題1:What is an idiom ?
小題2:What does “ Can you give me a hand “ mean ?
小題3:Are English idioms more common in written English or spoken English ?
