Reasons Why Reading Old Books Is Good
There are many people who prefer new books to old ones, because they think that new books are better.
They have stood the test of time. According to C.S. Lewis, as a writer, he would rather want a reader to read an old book than a new one as the new one is still under test and the reader is amateur to judge it.
Old books usually cost less in comparison, and at times are available even for free at book stores, thrift shops (旧货店), or book fairs.
They help you know your past. Classic novels teach a lot about a particular previous time in history while we are enjoying present times.
Their quality is better. The title is self-explanatory. If a book is being read even 50 years after it was published, then it's a classic, and surely good.
They don't discriminate (歧视) against age. Old books are for everyone and not for a particular age group. Cinderella (《灰姑娘》) can still be your favorite nighttime read as an adult.
They smell so good. The smell of old books is just too good. Don't you just love the smell as you bury your nose into the pages of an old classic?
A. They are cheaper.
B. They are easy to get.
C. What makes a book a classic?
D. What is a book affecting you most?
E. You need not be a child to enjoy the classics written for kids.
F. But the fact is that the opposite is true, more often than not.
G. Ideas come and go, but only the best ideas are the ones that stand out.
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before. But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes. For anything you're about to send,ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person's face?" If the answer is no, rewrite and reread.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.
A. It's natural that there're some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face. C. Everyone was new to the network once. D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. |
