How to get teenagers to read

Getting teenagers to read sounds like a hard task. The latest Xbox or PSP has got them addicted, or the homework seems to last forever. 【1】 Here is a guide on how to get your teenagers to read.

【2】 You could look at their school homework timetable and work out which evening they have the least amount of work to do. Make sure that your teenager is not going to an out-of-school club that evening.

Buy your teenagers a new set of books. Research the book lists for teenagers. The Chaos Walking Trilogy and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy are suited for both boys and girls. If your teenager will never sit down to read a book, consider buying them an electronic reader like an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to encourage them to read. Make sure that the electronic reader you buy can only be used to read. 【3】

Seize opportunities. If they seem unimpressed then whenever you see them not doing anything constructive, encourage them to pick up one of the books you bought. If they say they don’t want the book then take them out to buy some in a bookstore. 【4】

Consider punishments. 【5】 This doesn’t work for everyone but some people find that when your teenager messes up, you can tell them to go to their room and read. They might start to really enjoy the book.

A. Don’t be afraid of wasting money.

B. Electronic readers are harmful to teenagers’ eyesight.

C. Figure out what time is best for your teenager to read.

D. If they still refuse then you could use reading as a punishment.

E. But getting them to pick up a book is a lot easier than it sounds.

F. You’re sure to pick out a book that they really want to read there.

G. You know they could pretend to read and actually play video games.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】C

【3】G

【4】F

【5】D

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了青少年越來越不喜歡閱讀這一現(xiàn)象，并提出了幾點建議。

【1】E這一空位于第一段，因此屬于總起的段落，所以根據(jù)第一句Getting teenagers to read sounds like a hard task.和最后一句Here is a guide on how to get your teenagers to read.再結(jié)合選項可知，其實讓青少年拿起書本閱讀其實沒有聽起來那么難。故選E。

【2】C結(jié)合前后文可知，每一段的第一句都是這一段的總起的句子，所以這一題要結(jié)合這一段的段落大意來選擇，這一段主要講了根據(jù)孩子的時間和課程安排來找時間讓孩子閱讀。故選C。

【3】G根據(jù)前一句Make sure that the electronic reader you buy can only be used to read.可知，電子閱讀器可能會有除閱讀之外的其他功能，所以孩子可能只是假裝閱讀卻在玩電子游戲。故選G。

【4】F根據(jù)前一句If they say they don’t want the book then take them out to buy some in a bookstore.可知，如果你給孩子買的書他不喜歡就帶孩子去書店，讓他自己挑選自己想讀的書。故選F。

【5】D結(jié)合文章Consider punishments與選項可知這一段主要是講述以讀書為懲罰的方式讓孩子們閱讀。故選D。
