With so many choices it can be hard to decide which books are right for you. Here are some tips of choosing the ones you’re more likely to enjoy. ___39___Thinking about stories you’ve enjoyed in the past can give you clues about what genres① you prefer. Maybe you like science fiction, which transports you to completely made-up worlds. Or perhaps you like historical fiction, made-up stories based on true events. Nonfiction is another choice. Think about the topics that interest you or an interest you have and want to know more about. Ask for recommendations②You can visit the library and ask a librarian to guide you to the shelves that feature the genre you’d like to dive into. Another idea is to ask friends with similar tastes what books they have liked and would recommend. You can also find a list of recommendations from the Internet. Search for “readalikes”If you enjoyed a particular book, you may like others that are similar in style, known as a “readalike.” You can look up a writer whose book you liked in the past, and find out whether they have written sequels③ or other books you might enjoy. If you have read through an entire series and are looking for new writers, you can checkout the website www.baidu.com and put in the name of the writer you like, the site’s search engine will suggest similar writers to you. Take the stress offYou won’t love every book you read, and that’s OK! No matter how far along you are in the book you are reading, if you don’t like it, it’s fine to stop reading it. When you take the stress off yourself to finish a book you’re not enjoying, you free yourself up to choose another book. ① genre n. 体裁 ② recommendation n. 推荐 ③ sequel n. 续集39.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分) 根据短文内容回答下列问题。It was Saturday that day. Luke was wearing his basketball clothes, waiting for his chance to play but until last week, nobody asked him to play. Although the 18-year-old student does well in playing basketball, his coach wouldn’t like to bring Luke into play. This is because it isn’t easy for Luke to see things even when he wears glasses. He has to try his best to aim at the basketball hoop① by focusing on the right corner of his glasses. His mother said that he was born with cerebral palsy②. On the high school’s Senior Night last week, Luke’s coach finally called him to play during the final minute of the game. With the teammates already coming to give him a warm welcome, Luke got into position as the crowd cheered him up. “I want to get him in. It was Senior Night, the most important moment for every player in the team.” the head coach told the reporters, “If there was a chance for him, I would want to take advantage of it.”Once the game was back in play, one of Luke’s teammates passed him the ball. Though he had been practising shooting hoops since he was in the third grade, this was the first time he had ever taken a shot on his high school basketball team. He took a deep breath to release the nervous feeling. As the watchers waited, Luke took the shot and dropped the ball. It fell through the net, hardly touching the hoop. He made it! In fact, his score helped the team win the game. All his teammates came to hug him, showing great admiration③ and respect. “I heard the watchers calling my name,” Luke told the news reporters. “They were jumping and shouting. I still can’t believe I was awarded the title of MVP (Most Valuable Player) of this game.”① basketball hoop n. 篮筐 ② cerebral palsy n. 大脑性麻痹 ③admiration n. 钦佩58.
