When I was nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and cried. “Buddy, it’s a beautiful, beautiful poem!” My mother poured out her praise.

“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate（欣賞）my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father’s plate on the dining table.

My mother said he would be home around 7. But My father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate. “What is this?” I heard him say.

“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it’s beautiful, so amazing!” Mother said.

“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide that for myself,” Father said.

I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. “I think it’s bad,” my father said. I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting wet.

“Ben, sometimes I don’t understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.”

“I don’t know why,”______________“Isn’t there enough bad poetry(詩歌) in the world already? No law says Buddy has to become a poet.”

I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.

A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.

As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, “Buddy, it’s wonderful!” and a father who shook his head “I think it’s bad.” Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact, all of us in life need both loving force.

1.What did the mother think of the Buddy’s poem?

A. She was so moved that she cried.

B. She thought the poem was well written.

C. She considered Buddy had no talent for poetry.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

P. I. C. K. the Right Books for You

The secret to learn how to choose the right book is simple. It’s one word you can depend on when you’re in a library or a bookstore. All you need to remember is “ P. I. C. K. “ P. I. C. K. ” stands for Purpose, Interest，Comprehend, and Know the Words.

P= Purpose. Why are you looking for a book——reading for pleasure or trying to learn something? Reading silently for yourself or reading out loud for someone else? Most often, your purpose for reading can be found with a quick answer.

I = Interest. With the many millions of books on shelves today, there must be something out there for everyone. If you are interested in cars，consider books about history of racing, race car drivers, or car design. Even if you havea short amount of time to choose books, you can determine interest by looking at the front cover， flipping through(快速翻閱）the pages to have a quick look at photos or illustrations, or reading the back cover or the chapter titles.

C = Comprehend. It’s important to choose a book right for your level or ability. How to choose such a book? If you read books at Level A, for example, you’d better not choose a book at Level D. If the book isn’t labeled(貼標(biāo)簽）with a level, you can open the book and choose a page——then you can decide whether the book is at a right level for you by asking yourself：

Did I understand what I just read?

Do I remember what I read?

Was I able to read most of the words?

This brings us to our final letter；

K=Know the Words. Readers should be able to understand most of the words on the page. The key is the ‘‘Five Finger Rule” ： Choose a book you would like to read， look at a page in the middle and put one finger down for every word you don’t understand. The “Five Finger Rule” shows a general idea of the relationship between the number of unknown words and the difficulty

level of a book；

0 — 1 unknown word = too easy

2 — 3 unknown words=just right

4~5 unknown words = too difficult

You want to know how to choose books right for you一books that are enjoyable， fun and exciting. P. I. C. K. is all about giving you the tools to be a strong and confident reader.

1.What does “P. I. C. K. ” stand for?

2.According to the passage, what is one possible purpose for reading?

3.What books does the writer advise you to read if you’re interested in cars?

4.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

5.If you put three fingers down when you’re reading a page, what’s the

difficulty level of the book?

1.It stands for Purpose,Interest,Comprehend,and Know the Words. 2.For pleasure./Trying to learn something./Reading silently for oneself./ Reading out loud for someone else. 3.Books about history...
