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...

Ever feel like no one really understands you well? “ Pepper” could be about to change all that. Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions(情感識別功能), Pepper can react to people when it is near them－making jokes, dancing and even singing in Japanese.

Pepper can examine facial expressions(面部表情)，human voice and signs, then make an answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn’t like Rosie who can do housework on the cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store, where we provide fun and entertainment.
