24、Books Bring Success

According to German novelist Heinrich Mann, a house without books is like a room without windows. Mann simply stated the value of books, but some researchers have found evidence that people with books in their homes really do gain a window on the world.

A new study in the journal Social Science Research, published in October, suggests that people who grow up with more books are more likely to have educational advantages, and to achieve more in life, than people who grow up without them.

In the study, over 160,000 adults from 31 countries and regions were asked about the number of books there were in their homes when they were 16 years old. They were then given tests in literacy (读写能力), numeracy (计算能力) and information communication technology.  

The research shows that the number of books for each household varies greatly from country to country. For example, the number of books is 27 in Turkey, 143 in the UK and 218 in Estonia. But “the total effects of home library size on literacy are large everywhere”.  

The researchers found that people who had only lower levels of secondary education but had a large number of books at home got a similar score as university graduates who grew up with only a few books.  

The Guardian newspaper commented that “bookish adolescence makes for a good deal of educational advantage.”

“Adolescent exposure to books can compensate for shortcomings not only in adult literacy but also numeracy: its impacts are equal to additional years of education,” Sikora told Science Alert.

Apart from the educational benefits, growing up with more books also plays an important role in adult success.  

Through analyzing their personal information, researchers found that people surrounded by books in adolescence are on average more successful in adulthood than those who had only few books at a younger age.

“Early exposure to books in the parental home matters because books are an basic part of routines and practices that enrich lifelong cognitive competencies (认知能力)”, Sikora told Science Alert. These competencies are important to future development.

Without doubt, the fact that we are moving toward a digital era could weaken the importance of printed books. For now, however, “they still seem to maintain quite a large positive benefit, which shows no sign of abating (减弱)”, researchers wrote in the paper.

【1】What’s the study mainly about?

A. Reading habits of different countries.

B. The benefits of growing up with more books.

C. How reading books brings educational advantages.

D. The impacts of books on people of different ages.

【2】How many books do an average British family own, according to the study?

A. 27. B. 32. C. 143. D. 218.

【3】The underlined phrase “compensate for” probably means ______.

A. make up for B. result in C. prepare for D. draw attention to

【4】According to the study, people who read more books in adolescence are likely to ______. 

a. have better literacy 

b. achieve more in adulthood

c. have better communication skills

d. achieve more pleasant personalities

A. ac B. bc C. cd D. ab

27、Choose the best answer

English is more important now. Almost everyone knows that we should learn English well. But it is difficult for many students to learn it well. Now I make some suggestions, maybe they can help you learn it well.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passage or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening and preferably taking some notes.

Speaking is different among the four skills in learning English. The other three you can do alone on your own, but you can’t really speak alone. Then how can you practice speaking? Where can you find people to speak English with? There is a saying: practice makes perfect. That is to say, we should talk with our partners in English as much as we can.

At school you should use the chance to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

【1】According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A.Reading and listening B.Reading and Writing

C.Writing and speaking D.Speaking and listening

【2】The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 3 can probably be replaced by “_______”.

A.meet by accident B.discover out C.find on purpose D.look for

【3】To improve your reading, when you read you should ______________.

A.look up all the new words in the dictionary B.think about what you are reading actively

C.spend more time studying grammars D.copy as many words and sentences as possible

【4】The author seems to agree with the view that _____________.

A.Everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.

B.you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day.

C.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening.

D.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing.

【5】In order to improve your speaking, you should ____________.

A.practice speaking more and only talking with your classmates in class.

B.make friends with foreigners to talk with them.

C.practice speaking with your English teachers and students.

C.improve your English as quickly as possible.

D.become fluent in speaking and writing English.
