One of the most important ways to learn and master the English language is to read, read, and read. It is said that a good reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in today’s world, reading is something that most children dislike doing.
There are simply so many distractions (分心的事物) that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored and they are in favor of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English language, they st ill can’t quite compare to reading. And as a result, kids are learning less and less. Take a look at an elementary level text book. You’ll notice that the books for elementary students are filled with pictures and colours. Those pictures and colours in th e elementary level text books aren’t there just for the sake (缘由) of design. colours and
pictures make us more engaged in the act of learning grammar. They catch our attention and help us retain (保留) more of what we read. This is especially true for little children who enjoy fun English.
Children are quite easily distracted. When you ask them to sit down and read quietly, their minds will often wander and it won’t take long before you find them doodling (涂鸦) and not doing what you told them to do. But if a book is colourful enough to catch a kid’s attention, then you’ll have a better chance at getting the kid to sit down long enough to learn English.
The same principle holds true for interactivity (互动). Like colours and pictures, interactive reading materials like English songs for kids also get the child engaged in what he or she is learning. Interactive reading materials get the child to focus since using them is almost like playing.
25. Why do children dislike reading?
A. They prefer newspapers.
B. They prefer films.
C. They prefer magazines.
D. They prefer books.
26. Children will be interested in books that are .
A. full of pictures
B. explained clearly
C. written clearly
D. not very hard
27. Colorful books can help the children .
A. do what they prefer
B. have a good time
C. fix their attention for a longer time
D. sit still and quietly

Today, after 10 days of medical treatment, for the first time, I went out alone to meet a motherly lady who I had met during my stay in a programme. She had been unwell recently and lived alone. Her sons live in foreign countries.
After I called her and told about my plan to visit her, she started becoming excited and planning food at once. Nowadays, she has a lady cook coming by to help her but she does part of the work herself with her bandaged (绷带) leg.
I reached her home alone after being guided a couple of times by her before. I carried little things for her. She had been waiting for some time when I arrived. We talked about different things from health to her life and mine, from past to future, from food to travel, etc. During the discussion, her care for me became clear when she made warm suggestions or supported me.
During the last few months, she had struggled with health and housework. She had got over those difficulties and here she was telling me how all of us must face some problems. She had seen a few people facing worse problems in the hospital and mentioned about their cases and was grateful for her present condition which was manageable.
She wanted to gift me something—she kept thinking of a dress, watch, footwear, etc. whatever was n
ew and great in her home. I kept refusing but finally took the footwear out of politeness.
She loved the snacks I had brought and wanted to eat them with her tea. I was quite happy to see the childlike interest.
While I was spending time with my motherly friend, the following thought kept coming back to me—probably this is why I have lived through the 10 days in this city. The time I spent with her seemed so much needed. I felt the deep peace it could bring to me and that brought such a big joy!
