Ever since I was a five-year-old girl, I wrote stories in my notebooks and on small pieces of paper. I told stories to my friends. As a grown-up, I have written over 100 books! Thats a lot! As a teacher, its my goal to encourage all of my students to love to write.Writing is easy if youre careful enough, I told them. Everyone I meet is a possible character.Everything I see or do is a possible scene in a book. Start looking around you. Youll be amazed at what you discover.Anyone can be a writer. You just put your pencil on your paper and write what you like to read, step by step: Create great characters. If you know your characters well, theyll write the story for you. Interest the reader right at the beginning. You can start your stories with dialogue or action. If you can make the reader ask questions, then he has to keep reading to find out the answers. Follow the steps. The steps for every story are almost the same: Introduce the characters and the conflict; things get worse; all seems lost; the hero saves the day! Balance is the key.Remember, when writing, it doesnt hurt to add some humor.21. What did the writer begin to do when she was five years old?A.Tell stories to her family.B.Collect stories.C.Write stories. D. Play with paper.22.

They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens time. Some of these shops stock, or willmake efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap secondhand books, collectors mustventure_off_the_beaten_trackto Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers e along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs, who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.24“Londoners are great readers” means that _.A. Londoners read a lotB.

It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay healthy, eating right food, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly.Proper nutrition is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind “fuel”. Dont eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, dont overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you dont get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each day. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body stronger, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span(寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are good for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.28.
