How to Read a Book
Books can be your best friends．They can introduce you to 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．
Look in the library or in one of the large bookstores．You could also ask friends if you could have a look at their book shelves. Search the shelves 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．If you are already concentrating，then buy it or borrow it.
Do not start to read it until you have the time．And set aside time to do nothing else but read，as it can be，at times，suspenseful(悬疑的)，exciting and relaxing．
Get comfortable on the couch．Have a lamp behind you, lighting the area where you are reading．Make sure the television is off and that anything else that could distract(使分心) you has been attended to．
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．However，if you need to read the book quickly，then you do not need to pay attention to every word．

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over, the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference (干扰)from the other.
The differences are everywhere. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture. B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures. C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole. F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. G. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world. |
A. Adults keep pets with their children. B. Pet-keeping has a very long history. C. Pet-keeping may do harm to animals. D. People keeps pets for their aesthetic need. E. Caged pets become increasingly popular. F. Pet-keeping is helpful for children's growth. |
