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.

    Alice was born with a strange disease. She was taken to many hospitals. None of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} knew the cause of the disease. They told her parents she would go blind and deaf.

    Now Alice is fifteen years old. Her eyesight and hearing are so poor that she can't see or hear {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. But she is a bright and happy girl. She says to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}, "Whatever happens, I will never give up. " She {#blank#}4{#/blank#} to enjoy her life. With her {#blank#}5{#/blank#} help, she is travelling as much as she can. She is also {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the interesting things she experiences along the way.

    She also wants to help people like her. Her dream is to help researchers {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a method for her disease. If she can get {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, people who have the same disease may also be cured (治愈). In fact, she has {#blank#}9{#/blank#} money for a foundation (基金会) fighting the disease since she was in Grade Two. Until now, she has got over $150，000!

    Alice thinks helping others can make her {#blank#}10{#/blank#} than having fun alone. She is doing her best to live her life without any regret.

— No, there isn't.
