It doesn’t matter if books are delivered in print or by smart phone, and the main thing is to get lost in reading them.
Why should we bother reading a book? All children say this occasionally. Many adults with reading difficulties repeat it to themselves daily. In a world of accelerating technology, increasing time poverty and decreasing attention lengths, should they devote precious time sinking into a good book?
The discovery is that an extraordinary book has a transformative, effect on the way we view the world. This transformation only takes place when we lose ourselves in a book, abandoning the emotional and mental chat of the real world. That’s why studies have found deep reading makes us more attentive to the inner lives of others.
We know reading is the foundation stone of all education, and an essential strength of the knowledge economy. But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual development and pleasure. Books can open up emotional, imaginative and historical views that equal and extend the corridors (通道) of the web.
If reading were to decline significantly, it would change the very nature of our species. If we, in the future, are no longer wired for our own reflection and creative thought, we will be weaker. However, technology throws up solutions as many as challenges: for every door it closes, another opens. So the ability, offered by equipments like e-readers, smart phones and tablets, to carry an entire library in your hand is an amazing opportunity. We should concentrate on the message, not worried about the medium.
We must also get better at controlling the ability of the internet to inform readers, and potential readers, about all the new books that are published every year, and to renew their acquaintance with the best of rich literary tradition. If we stop reading, we will be different people: less complex, less interesting. There can hardly be a better reason for fighting to protect the future of the book.
32. Why does deep reading make us more attentive to the inner lives of others?
A. Because we have varieties of resources of reading.
B. Because we are in a world of accelerating technology.
C. Because it will weaken the very nature of human beings.
D. Because an extraordinary book makes our outlook brighter.
33. According to the text, the author thinks .
A. reading on the internet is more important and convenient than books
B. we should focus on the means of gaining information rather than the content
C. with the help of the internet, people can access the best of rich literary tradition
D. the web is better at shaping emotional, imaginative and historical views than books
34. The underlined word “tablets” is closest to in meaning.
A- Pills B. pads C. forms D. desks
35. What is the author’s attitude towards reading?
A. Critical. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Approving.

There is only so much time in the day. If you want to get more done, you really have two choices... Stay up late or get up early. Which are you ... an Early Bird or the Night Owl?
Productive birds of a feather
You have the same amount of time each day as everyone else. If you want to reach your goals and dreams you have to be willing to pay the price. 36, Sometimes it is your time. Sometimes it is money.

Many people use the excuse that they can’t get up early. Maybe they are night owls...
Night owls: working with the moon
Other people prefer to stay up long after the rest of the world has crashed out. 38 They may be more productive at midnight than they are at noon. Just make sure that if you stay up late, you are being productive.(Not watching mindless TV or endlessly surfing the Net.)
39
It doesn’t matter which productivity bird represents your work style. 40 It depends on your environment and energy levels. Do you have the drive to get up early or stay up late? While others are dreaming, make your dreams real.

C. Have a good sleep every day.
