第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

选项中有一项为多余项。

Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read. A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly. To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often. It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary. It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a book too easy will only waste your time and cannot do any help. The two extremes may at last make you give up
reading. So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page.
If you
come across a new
word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible. Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text. This ability is quite necessary in reading. If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulate d. If a word really prevents you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by them. I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image”.
To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then form your own ideas on some special issues. Try to scribble some lines —a very short journal, to express your ideas. Your writing does not need to be quite formal but very expressive. This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors. Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing.
Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English. Don’t mere ly take English as a “test”. Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning. Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like. Try to read them as loudly and passionately as you can. During this process, not only can you enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved.
The last but not the least, keep on reading. If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining.
