If you are a teenager and you have lost interest in reading or never like it so much, this is for you. Here is some   {#blank#}1{#/blank#}  on finding your favorite books:
★ Ask around. Ask your   {#blank#}2{#/blank#}  or favorite teachers to suggest books they enjoy.
★ Go to the library. Don't be shy about it. You can ask a librarian(图书管理员) a question {#blank#}3{#/blank#}  this: Do you have any books  {#blank#}4{#/blank#}  rock music?
★ Try a few pages. If a book doesn't interest you after you read a few pages, leave it and try another, until you find an  {#blank#}5{#/blank#} one.
★ Read at your own pace(速度). Reading isn't a test. So when you read  {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , you can have a look at words here and there and think. If you   {#blank#}7{#/blank#}  interested in it, you'll read to the end quickly. Then you can read another one.
★ Let one good thing lead to another. When you read something that  {#blank#}8{#/blank#}  interests you, you may be sorry when you  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}  it. Because the end is never really the end for a person who reads. You can always  {#blank#}10{#/blank#}  another book, and another, and another.

    A couple decided to go on a holiday. The wife was on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} business trip so the husband went to the destination (目的地) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and his wife would meet him the next day.

    When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} email. But when he typed

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} address, he typed a wrong letter and his note was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to an elderly woman. Her husband had died only the day {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and she had just come back from the funeral (葬礼).

    When the sad woman checked her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, she let out a shout, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to the floor in a dead faint (昏厥). At the sound, her family rushed {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the room and saw this note on the screen:

Dearest {#blank#}10{#/blank#},

Just got checked in. Everything prepared for you to arrive tomorrow.

    Darning likes sports a lot, so he pays attention to sports stars. Deng Yaping and Liu Xiang are his heroes. Deng Yaping is one of the best ping-pong players in the world. At the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, she was a ping-

pong player. Later, she {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Tsinghan University and then went to study {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. She says she is not {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than anyone else , but she has a very strong will(意志). She also helped make the Beijing Olympics a victory {#blank#}5{#/blank#} world sport. She is a true here. Another hero is Liu Xiang. The Chinese take {#blank#}6{#/blank#} pride in him. When he was a child, he was not very successful, but his {#blank#}7{#/blank#} noticed his ability in running and jumping and helped him change {#blank#}8{#/blank#} training methods. He won a {#blank#}9{#/blank#} of important races and became the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} sportsperson to win an Olympic gold medal for hurdling(跨栏). They are symbols of great courage and success.
