How to Read a Book

Books can be your best friends.  71  They can introduce you the things you may never see… But do you know how to read them in order to get the fullest enjoyment possible? The following tips should help.

1.       Find a book. Look in the library or in one of the large bookstores. You could also ask friends if you could have a book at their book shelves. Search the selves until you find a book that looks good．Read the first page to see how it reads, and the cover text on the back of the book, if it has any.  72

2.       Buy or borrow it and take it home. Do not start to read it until you have the time.  73  And set aside time to do nothing else but read, as it can be, at times, suspenseful（懸疑的）, exciting and relaxing.

3.       Get comfortable on the couch. Have a lamp（ 燈 ) behind you, lighting the area where you are reading. Make sure the television is off and that anything else that could distract you has been attended to.  74 .

4.       Start the book by turning the pages and really enjoy it. Do not think about anything else but what you are reading. Put yourself into the action or location in the story. Once you concentrate completely, it will be difficult to put the book down. And remember that reading is not running your eyes over a book.  75  However, if you need to read the book quickly, then you do not need to pay attention to every word.

A.      If you are busy doing other things, you should wait until you have finished them．

B.      Get warm if you are going to be sitting still for a few hours．

C.      If you are already concentrating, then buy it or borrow it．

D.     Try to imagine the story in your head．

E.      They can take you to places that you may never go．

F.      You should read it actively and enjoy it completely．

Otherwise, you will miss it．
