25、Do you like reading? If so, then World Book Day might be just for you.

World Book Day was first organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1995 to encourage reading. It is now celebrated by book lovers every year on April 23rd, which falls on the birthday of British author William Shakespeare.

Reading is a wonderful hobby to get into. Not only can it help you explore new worlds with your very own imagination, but it can also help you make new friends in the real world. Although reading is often seen as an unsociable hobby, there are actually many different kinds of clubs and events to unite book lovers everywhere.

For example, there is the practice of Book-Crossing, which tries to “make the whole world a library”. To participate, you leave a book in a public area. That book will then be picked up and enjoyed by someone else, who will in turn leave the book for someone else to find.

By joining book clubs and events, book lovers can make their own communities, connect with others, and share their knowledge with people all around the world. But how can books stay popular in an increasingly digital world? It’s a fact that there are dozens of different things turning our attention away. Thankfully, people still seem to be very interested in reading books.

Today, teenagers have even started using the popular video-sharing app TikTok to make their own book clubs. Using the hashtag “BookTok”, teens are sharing things like their favorite titles, book reviews, and reading tips with other users. These teenage “BookTokers” have helped to get people out of reading slumps (衰退) and into new novels.

Companies have also started to find new and interesting ways to keep readers involved. For example, there are many mobile apps and online services that encourage reading by providing short passages that are fit for modern lifestyles and busy timetables.

So, whether you prefer downloading your books or going to a bookstore to enjoy that “new book” smell, be sure to celebrate World Book Day by opening one of your favorites.

【1】The word “unite” in paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A．join

B．please

C．train

D．call

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The World Book Day was to celebrate the birth of William Shakespeare.

B．Reading is unsociable so the more you read, the less friends you’ll have.

C．Book lovers prefer going to bookstores to downloading the books online.

D．Books are still drawing great attention of the public in the digital world.

【3】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To introduce the celebration of World Book Day.

B．To discuss the problems of the reading slumps.

C．To stress the importance of the reading clubs.

D．To encourage the love of reading and books.

26、When was the last time you thought about breathing (呼吸) ? Most people usually do not. When we are healthy, breathing happens naturally and easily. The human breathing system (系统) works hard and doesn’t have much influence on us. That’s why we don’t feel clearly about this.

Experts say we take about 20, 000 breaths every day, and they note that our “breathing muscles (肌肉) are working every minute of the day, every day of our lives. “And they mention deep breathing is important because it’s good for our health.

When you breathe deeply, the air comes into your nose and makes your lungs (肺) full. An expert says that deep breathing may slow the heartbeat, lower blood pressure and lower stress. Deep breaths help your body fully exchange incoming oxygen (氧气) with outgoing carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) .

A study shows that if you practice deep breathing over and over again, it can help remove dirty air from the lungs. This will increase oxygen levels and get your lungs to return to its job of helping you breathe.

Deep breathing is a good way to reduce stress and relax. Take a slow, deep breath through your nose. Feel your hand go up. Your stomach should rise and expand. Now breathe out slowly through your mouth. If you keep doing that 3 to 5 times, you can find it easy to calm down and relax yourselves.

In a word, deep breathing can bring many benefits (益处) to people. So, start practicing it as much as possible.

【1】The underlined word mention in Paragraph 2 is similar to ________.

A．talk

B．think

C．laugh

D．shout

【2】From paragraph 5 we can know that the third step of deep breathing is to ________.

A．calm down and relax

B．take a slow, deep breath

C．feel your hand go up

D．breathe out slowly

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Experts say people take about 2, 000 deep breaths every day.

B．An expert says that deep breathing may quicken the heartbeat.

C．Deep breathing can be good to people.

D．Deep breathing is the best way to reduce stress.

【4】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．breathing muscles can have a rest sometimes in our body

B．deep breathing can relax ourselves in face of some exams

C．deep breathing can help to remove some dirty air away from lungs

D．deep breathing is of no use when something terrible happens

【5】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．benefits of deep breathing

B．a study on human breathing

Ronny looked like every other kid in the first-grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mum. However, Ronny stood apart from his classmates in other ways. He had a speech problem so he couldn’t read like _________ kids in his grade.

I worked with all the students in Ronny’s class one by one to improve their reading skills. On the days when it was Ronny’s _________, I gave him a silent smile, and he flew out of his chair. He sat very close to me and opened the book _________ he was opening a treasure that nobody had ever seen.

I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he tried his best to read out. Every time he _________ to read a word with a strange pronunciation, the biggest smile would _________ across his face and his eyes would shine with pride. It broke my heart each and every time.

A few weeks _________ the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. I _________ Ronny with a book—one of those Little Golden Books that only cost $5 for his _________ in reading. Tears ran down his face as he held the book close to him and went back to his seat. I stayed with the Class for the rest of the day. Ronny never let go of the book, not once. It never left his hands.

A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I _________ Ronny on a chair near the playground, the book open in his lap. His teacher said, “He __________ that book down since you gave it to him. Do you know that’s his first book he’s ever actually owned?”

Keeping back my tears, I walked __________ Ronny, placed my hand on his shoulder and asked,“Will you read me your book, Ronny?”And then, for the next few minutes, he read to me more __________ than I’d ever thought possible from him. The __________ were already dog-eared（卷角的）, like the book had been read thousands of times already. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction,“Good book!”

__________ powerful influence the writer of that Little Golden Books had made in the life of a disadvantaged child.
