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.

    It is well {#blank#}1{#/blank#} that the English go out with an umbrella or a raincoat. Why? Because the weather in Britain{#blank#}2{#/blank#} often quickly. It is not very usual for the same kind of weather {#blank#}3{#/blank#} long.

    Spring can be{#blank#}4{#/blank#} or windy. The weather is getting {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and you can hope for more sunny days.

    In fact, there can be as {#blank#}6{#/blank#}sunshine in spring as in summer. Summer is the time for visitors to go to the seaside and other {#blank#}7{#/blank#}of interest. The weather can be sunny and nice. People often {#blank#}8{#/blank#}out to have a walk or swim. During fall it is still nice to be outside, too. Fall is a beautiful season {#blank#}9{#/blank#}trees in the woods and parks changing color. In winter, it gets colder. It might {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, especially on high land and in the north. There are also very high winds in this season.

    When a private plane flew off course some time ago, it crashed in the mountains and its pilot was killed. A young woman and her two baby sons, the only {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, were unhurt. It was the middle of winter. Snow {#blank#}2{#/blank#}thick on the ground. The woman knew that the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} village was miles away {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, she found a case nearby and turned it{#blank#}5{#/blank#} a bed, put the children inside it and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} them with ail the clothes she could find. During night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she {#blank#}7{#/blank#}to the children. The next day, she {#blank#}8{#/blank#} planes passing overhead and wondered {#blank#}9{#/blank#}she could send a signal. Then she had an idea. She stamped out the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} "SOS" in the snow. Eventually, a pilot saw the "SOS" and arrived on the scene to rescue the survivors.
