fathers father or it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture. from my point of view, reading is very important in our lives. for example, reading is a means of gaining knowledge in different areas. it can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. it gives you the possibility to speak about science. even if you dont work in this field; you can express your opinion about a political event at least, because you have read something about that. secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. we can dream in the world of the rich or imagine what life will be like in the future.sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve our problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. books are based on real life. even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people，they often face the same problems as we all do and suffer like us, too. in short, i would like to say that literature is the perfect means of enriching our culture, expressing correctly and having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person. 67. in the writers opinion, some people have many books at home only to .a. make their house look more beautifulb. show that their father is a person of culturec. impress others with the fact that they love reading very muchd. show that they are rich enough to have such a big collection of books68. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. reading a lot is good for writing. b. reading can help us gain knowledge. c. reading can help us have a great imagination. d. reading helps us enter the field of politics easily. 69. we can learn from the fourth paragraph that . a. people in stories are always unbelievableb. stories may show us what to do in lifec. writers are good at dealing with problems in lifed. writers often have different experiences in life70. what is the best title for this passage?a. why is reading important in our lives?b. how can we become a learned person?c. different reading, different functionsd. having a good collection of books means a lot第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。emadhav was a
