You may have selected books that fit your purpose. You may have selected books that you are attracted to. But as you are reading them,there may still be some books that you won't enjoy reading.

Whenever you realize that you aren't enjoying the book you are reading,give it up.  (3)   .

Having a reading goal helps you figure out how much reading you need to do in a week or even a day.

5，   (5)  

Before you read each book, ask yourself when you need to complete this book by.

What I find interesting is that I tend to read books that I borrow from libraries faster than the books I bought. The reason is that the books I bought don't have a due date! I don't need to return those books.

When you don't set a date to finish your book. There isn't a sense of urgency（紧急的事情）.

And when something isn’t urgent(紧急的), you tend to put off.

Shi was brought up by his grandparents in a village in Hubei Province.  (1)    Later, the 22-year-old student at a university in Wuhan decided to set up a special website for children. He hoped that his website could help children meet new friends of the same age and feel less lonely.

  (2)  According to (根据) his research one about 6,000 children in cities like Guangzhou, Wuhan and Suzhou, most of them don't have brothers or sisters and they are in need of playmates. “From my own experience, I think it's a great idea to have such a website on which children can find playmates," Shi said.

The website is set up mainly for pre-school children in kindergarten(幼儿园) and their parents. All the users of the website must use their real names.  (3)  Through the website, parents who are busy during the day can get in touch with other parents who are free and willing to find some playmates for their children.

    As it gets more and more popular among children and parents, the website now holds many colorful online activities.  (4)  The website also provides parents with valuable chances to communicate with each other.

Entrance Examination (中考)，said Li Liangjing, 15, a junior 3 student from Xiamen.

I and many other people in Britain love charity (慈善) shops because we can find them on every street.   (1)  .

Oxford opened the first charity shop in 1947. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK.  (2)  .I always find children’s books there, all 10 to 20 pence each. They are really cheap.

   (3)  , but each shop has a manager and he gets some money. Every morning you will see bags of things outside the shops.  (4)  . In fact, over 90% of the things in charity shops are from kind people.

All the money the shops get goes to charity work.  (5)  . The money is for sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and many others. In a charity shop you can get cheap but nice things. You might even feel special while shopping.

If possible, let’s do something for charity together!
