A young man was going to spend his {#blank#}1{#/blank#} in a village.That night he decided to sleep at a small hotel near the train {#blank#}2{#/blank#} . Before going to bed, he said to the owner（所以者）of the hotel,“Excuse me,sir. Will you please {#blank#}3{#/blank#} me up at a quarter to five tomorrow morning? I'll get on the train at five o'clock.” “Oh, sorry,” the owner said.“I'm afraid I can't. I won't be able to get up so{#blank#}4{#/blank#} ”
The young man asked, “Have you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} an alarm clock? Maybe it can {#blank#}6{#/blank#} me. “Yes, here you are, young man,” the owner said. The young man {#blank#}7{#/blank#} the owner happily. But when he looked at the alarm clock closely, it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} there was something wrong with it. “Will it {#blank#}9{#/blank#} on time?” he asked.“Sure! You just shake(晃动) it at a quarter to five and it will ring,” answered the owner. The young man couldn't fall {#blank#}10{#/blank#} all the night. Because he was afraid of missing the train.

    I love reading. At the age of 6, I could read Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old, but I {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(enjoy) it all the same. It soon became clear that spelling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is one way I got from reading{#blank#}2{#/blank#}such a young age.

     {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(I) advice for you as English learners would be to read the English novels which you have often read{#blank#}4{#/blank#}your mother language. Reading novels is a great way of{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (improve) your vocabulary and spelling without knowing it as you are absorbed(全神贯注的) in the story. You know the story well, so it's {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(usual) easy to follow it in English even if you don't understand every word.

    This is anther way of basic point: it's not necessary {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(understand) every word. If you understand the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(mean) of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Quite often, if a word is used several {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(time) in a text, you'll gradually get an idea of what it means. Have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} try. If you love reading you could open up a whole new world of literature.
