　　An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day's hard work．When he was not far from his house, the light on the cart went out．He tried but could not mend it．

　　He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light．When a policeman saw this, he stopped the old carter．

　　"Where's your light?" asked the policeman．"No one may take a cart along a road at night without a light．You know that．You've broken the law．

　　"I had a light," said the old man, "but it has just gone out．"

　　"I don't believe that story," said the policeman．He took out a book and got ready to write．"What's your name and where do you live?" he asked．

　　"Please don't take my name," said the old man．"My house is just there．You can see it from here．I had a light nearly the whole way．I haven't come far without a light．"

　　"You came all the way without a light．What's your name?"

　　The carter quickly took the policeman's hand and put it down on the top of the light．The light was still hot, and burnt the policeman's hand．He jumped and he was very angry．

　　When you are learning English，listening，speaking and writing are important，but reading can also be very helpful．When you read，you can not only learn some new words，but also learn how to use these English words．When you read，it gives you a good example for writing．

　　Good reading tips (建議)：

　　Try to read at the right level (水平)．Read something that you can (more or less)understand．If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary，it is not interesting．

　　Try to read regularly (定期)．For example，read for a short time once a day．Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday．Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it．For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up or you are at lunchtime．

　　Read what interests you．Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like，because you are going to spend time and money to read it．So choose an interesting book．You can also read newspapers．There are many English newspapers in China．For example，21st Century Teens．It's easy enough for you to understand．There is something interesting in it．
