Nowadays， it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading goals （目标） that we set for ourselves． Luckily， we have mobile apps such as Latte Read and Get Abstract to provide abstracts （梗概） of a text． Abstracts are useful tools， especially for students， but like having a friend describe the main content of a story to you， you cannot experience the joy and excitement of reading the original （原来的） text of yourself．
I recently finished reading a thick book of W． Somerset Maugham's collected short stories． It took me around ten years to get through． Thomas Mann's difficult The Magic Mountain took me about six months to read； Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged made me very bored most of the time． Reading a book， whether it is good or bad， is a formative （建设性的） experience． There are plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time to read． But the challenge of living for a time in the thoughts and experiences of a different history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort．
Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it， I like to sit there and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia （怀旧之情） and pride． I then take the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf． When I step back and look at the books on my shelf， it is as if I am looking at the history of the different lives that I have lived．
Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end， but reading the actual （真正的） book is something much richer． Reading， like anything else in life， is much more about the journey than it ever was the destination （目的地）．
（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？
A． Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature．
B． Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading．
C． Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages．
D． The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading．
（2）What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph？
A． He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories．
B． A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him．
C． He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books．
D． He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book．
（3）In the third paragraph the writer his main point of view （主要观点）．
A． explains the meaning of
B． provides further support for
C． makes a conclusion of
D． offers an opposite example for

One day，when her son asked the same question again，she decided to prepare a big meal for him with the only 6dollars in her hand．She went to the supermarket，bought some food and cooked at home．Lisa was a shy mother，but she was strong﹣minded．"It's time to make a change，"she thought．She used to love writing．In order to make some money，she began to write articles for magazines day and night．
Things went better．The local food bank started to provide her with some free vegetables every month．Her son finally had enough to eat．Once he told Lisa that the dishes she made were delicious．Suddenly，an idea came to Lisa's mind，"Why not share my recipes（食谱）on the Internet？"She did．Many people liked her recipes and she became popular．
Soon after that，some reporters interviewed her and asked her to write a book on cooking．When Lisa got the money for the book she wrote，she had a good sleep for the first night during the two years．Now Lisa has a well﹣paid job and a beautiful home，but she'll never forget the days when she worked hard for a good life．

Are you afraid of going to the dentist（牙医）？ If so， you're not alone．
These fears could just be in our heads， however． According to a recent survey by Martin Tickle， a professor at Manchester University in the UK， the pain isn't felt most of the time in dental surgeries（牙科手术）． In fact． among the 451 interviewed patients，75% reported no pain at all during their visits， including situations when they had their teeth pulled out．
Could it be the sound of the drill（钻头）then？
"I found that the sound of drilling can evokedeep worry in dental patients． Actually they don't have any pain． " Hiroyuki Karibe， a scientist at Nippon Dental University in Tokyo， told the Guardian．
To find the reason why a drill might bring on a racing heart， Karibe divided the volunteers into low﹣fear and high﹣fear groups based on how much they feared a trip to the dentist． Volunteers were played the sound of a drill while their brain activities were watched by a machine．
What Karibe found in the low﹣fear group was increased activity in the areas of the brain relative to auditory processing（听觉处理）， which means， for these people， the sound of dental drills is no different from other sounds
In the high﹣fear group， however， the brain area that was activated（激活）was different． It was the area that carries out a number of duties， including learning， feelings and， most importantly， memory． This means that these volunteers not only heard the sound， but they remembered it﹣they made connections between the sound of a drill and the worry it produced in the past， causing their worry to return．
Understanding how brains reply to the sounds of dentists ' drills could help scientists find ways to make patients more relaxed， according to Karibe， because patients who worry about going to the dentist might keep putting off their visits． But the best way is to keep your teeth healthy．
