Reading books can be a great way to pick up new vocabulary, see grammar in action and develop your understanding of a language. 【1】

【2】Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words that are difficult to understand. Children's books are a great place to start. Dr. Seuss's books are sure to make you laugh. Dr. Seuss writes his books in rhyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.

For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien. 【3】 If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm ' I am David is a good read.

If you're not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes? 【4】 Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeaves's Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.

My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English. 【5】

A. For beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple.

B. The key to success is choosing the right book for you.

C. The book isn't too long and it may be easier to follow if you've seen the film.

D. This way, you're more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.

E. This book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.

It is China's new Super Bus. It is going for a test run in Beijing at the end of this year. Some other cities are also interested in running the Super Bus. They hope it can solve traffic problems.

The Super Bus runs along fixed tracks. The bus sits on top of two 2.2-metre-tall legs. The legs have wheels at one end. Small cars can drive under the bus, so the Super Bus does not take up road space. The bus runs on electricity and solar power. It can travel up to 60 km every hour. Its creator, Song Youzhou, says it can reduce a lot of traffic jams. The Super Bus can do the work of 40 buses. In that way, it can reduce a lot of traffic jams. And it can save 860 tons of fuel（燃料）every year, according to Song.

"To build a Super Bus and its track costs less than building subways. Subways are nearly ten limes more expensive to build," Song said.

Some people worry that the Super Bus may not be safe. However, Song says there's no need to worry. The Super Bus has laser scanners（激光掃描儀）between its legs. The scanners make sure the cars keep a safe distance.

【1】The Super Bus was created by Song Youzhou.

【2】The Super Bus can carry more than 1,200 people.

【3】The Super Bus does not take up road space.

【4】Song Youzhou created the Super Bus to reduce car accidents.

【5】It cost more money to build a Super Bus and its track than building subways.
