Are you a book-lover but feeling having not enough time to read? Don’t worry. You can find out the solutions (解决方法) right here.
Firstly, don't read before bed. Most people keep their reading on their nightstand. If you read at night, you will probably only get through a few pages before you get sleepy. Instead, I suggest reading before work. Even if you're not an early bird, use the time you spend checking Wechat every morning to read some lines on the phone.
Secondly, make full use of the time when you’re on the way to work. For example, if you take the bus or underground to work, you can use this time to read. A half-hour commute can easily turn into five hours of reading time every week——enough for most people to read a whole book.
Thirdly, _____________ Before you tell me how much you "enjoy the smell of the printed books", let me try to tell you the convenience *（便利） of reading in the e-books app on your smart phone: you'll always have your "books" with you, and most importantly, you can always get through a little reading in those lost minutes of the day … waiting in line for coffee, during business breaks and so on. Those pages add up fast.
What’s more, if a book sucks, stop reading it. You don’t need to waste*(浪费) time reading a book that is not good. In fact, it’s more likely to make you quit your reading habit (习惯). Surely, you might think its necessary to finish a book you spent five painful hours to finish it, you can afford to put it down.

5. In the passage, the writer suggests people read _____________.
A. in the morning B. at noon
C. in the afternoon D. in the evening
6. Which of the following sentences can be put in ____________ in Paragraph 4?
A. carry your books all the time B. paper books always come first
C. read on your phone if possible D. read when you're having coffee
7. The underlined word "quit" in Paragraph 5 probably means _________ .
A. make B. correct C. enjoy D. break
8. The writer wrote this passage to ____________.
A. ask people to make a reading plan B. help people save time for reading
C. advise people to read more e-books D. show people the importance of reading.

C
Kathy could still remember the night she had to leave her home in Hungary. It was the beginning of World War*(战争) II and her family had to leave their county as soon as possible.

"I’m sorry, dear, but you make me think of - someone I once knew, " the old woman replied. "My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you're wearing around your neck.
"Eliza listened carefully with her eyes and mouth wide open. She had heard stories of her grandmother's best friend and knew the meaning of the scarf.
"My name's Monica, dear. I lived in Hungary as a child, but my family had to leave when I was fourteen years old. I've been living here in California from then on." said the old woman.
