The most unfortunate people all over the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.I am very interested in people, in meeting them and finding about them. Ive found in books new friends, new societies, and new words. Reading is a pleasure of mind. It is a little like a sport: Your eagerness for knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and finally you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you you ought to read, you probably wont have fun. But if you put down a book you dont like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time, and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you wont have suffered during the process.（1）Which is WRONG according to the passage? A . Reading can find new friends.B . Reading is fun.C . Reading is a little like a sport.D . While reading youll have no imagination.（2）Whats the result of reading? A . Wiser.B . Kinder.C . More gentle.D . All of the above.（3）What does the underlined word process mean in Chinese? A . 过程B . 作用C . 手续D . 工序（4）Why does the author say books are connected with each other? A . They have the same idea.B . They have the same writer.C . Peoples problems are the same.D . Human problems repeat themselves in literature.18. （10分）For Customers in the USA and Canada Only.(Customers outside North America, please CLICK HERE to start your shopping)Product / (Item#CB510)Price: US$12.99 , with colorful pictures, has information of hot spots, suggested routes with an area map, introduction(介绍) of major cities along the silk road, festivals, hotel, transportation and travel service.

When youre sad, it feels like it will last forever. The world seems dark and unfriendly. You might feel like you have nothing to look forward to. Many times, you cry, and its hard to stop. However, your feeling of sadness usually doesnt last very long a few hours, or maybe a day or two.When sadness starts to go away, it feels like a big stone is being lifted from your body. If sad feelings go on for too long, its called depression. Children who have depression may not know it. Often, its a parent or teacher who notices childrens changes.When depression happens, its very important for children to receive treatment. When they do, they can get better quickly. Sometimes treatment includes talking to someone who knows all about depression. Sometimes it means taking medicine. Sometimes both of these things are used. If you think you have depression, or you just have sadness that simply will not go away, it is important to talk to an adult about it first. This person can help you find the right kind of treatment. Many cities also have mental health hotlines that are listed in the phone book. There is always somebody who can help.（1）Which question is answered in Paragraph 1? A . What makes kids sad?B .
