With the development of the television and the Internet, many people have changed their hobbies and the way that they enjoy their free time. Because of the television and the Internet, many people spend less time reading, so the purpose of this article is to give reasons why people should read just for pleasure. The reasons that I give you are quite simple: to improve your knowledge, to have more fun, to make your imagination (想象) fly, to find new ways to express your ideas, and to have a better understanding of life.
Firstly, you can improve your knowledge when you read. There are all kinds of good books to choose from. People who read more usually have a better idea about life than those who do not read so often.
Secondly, you can have fun and increase your imagination by reading books. Children have very good imagination, so parents need to read lots of stories that supply their imagination. Adults should try to develop their imagination by reading books that make them think amazing things.
Finally, no matter how old you are, it can help you to have a better understanding of life and express your ideas to others in a simple and correct form.
So I suggest that you should read more. I know that many of us like to play on the Internet when we are free, but we must also not forget to read books. Try to choose good books in the beginning, and then I’m sure that you will never sto p reading.
( ) 31. Why do many people spend less time in reading now?
A. Because they are all busy with their work.
B. Because there aren’t many good books to read.
C. Because they have better ways to get knowledge.
D. Because they are more interested in the Internet and the television.
( ) 32. The purpose of this passage is to encourage everyone to ______.
A. buy more books
B. read for pleasure
C. stop watching TV
D. stop surfing the Internet

A. feed B eat C. take D. keep
( ) 34. How many pieces of advice does the writer give us?

B. Two.
C. Three.
D. Four.
( ) 35. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. It’s important to choose good books in the beginning.

IV. 任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，按要求完成36～40题。

Sometimes, the decisions you have made were proved to be wrong. Don’t worry—it’s not the end of the world! In traffic, what you should do in this situation is just turning around and find a better way. That’s exactly what you should also do in real life. In your life, you will find many dead ends, but you will always find your ways out of them.
Life is not always a walk in the park because many kinds of setbacks (挫折) can be found along the way. You must be careful when you face the setbacks. However, riding your life along just straight roads with no setbacks can be boring. So a setback can be a nice experience as well.
Right or left? In your life, there will be many times when you have to make a decision. You may want to put your heart into your study, so you choose to give up a hobby that you have had for years.
Think again! Before putting away the guitar or dropping your dance lessons, you should think about how to divide your time between study and hobbies. Think it over and make the right decision. Give up your hobbies when you have to.
Whatever you do in your life, remember to take it easy. You don’t have to run anywhere. Sometimes running makes life less enjoyable. It’s often better to think twice before you do things. So, think and then act! There’s really no need to rush! You don’t have to experience everything before you’re 20!
