How to pick a good book

  It is not news that we spend more time texting（发短信）and surfing online than ever. But a recent study shows that more teenagers are reading good old-fashioned and ink-on-paper books. Reading is a good way to widen your knowledge and learn about yourself. You probably know how to find the best application programs for your phone.   36  

1. Start with your interests.

  Reading on your own isn’t like reading for school.  37  This could be ancient martial arts, readings in computers, or fashion design books. If you can name the subject, you can find books about it.

 2. Find your “type”

     38   Books of fiction, like novels or short-story collections, can transport you to another world or help you to imagine something beyond your own experience. Not all fiction is the same. Try some different types of fiction and see which one you prefer. Non-fiction books give you the “who”, “what”, “when” and “why” of something. They tell stories suing facts, but that doesn’t mean they are dull.

3. Read the “blurb(简介)”

  The reviews and quotes on the back and inside covers of many books are known as  “blurbs”. These comments not only give you an idea of what the book is about, but also help you to pick out future books. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the blurb and see which authors praised the book.   39 

4.   40 

  Your local library can provide you with a lot of great books. Explain your interests and mention any writers you like, and the librarian can point you towards books that you will like.

  Finally, you’ll probably enjoy what you’re reading if you find a quiet place and make time for the book.

A. Ask an expert

B. Read in a quiet place

C. Do you prefer fiction or non-fiction?

D. You can pick something that suits your interests.

E. But do you know how to pick a book that you will really like?

F. It is necessary to work out what the book is mainly about before reading.

G. Often, they will have similar styles, and you might find you like books by those authors, too.
