Students learn their lessons in class. They sit in the c            listening to the teacher. This is a way of learning. Is this the o     way for students to learn? Of course not. There is another way to learn. That is students can teach themselves. For e         , if you can’t remember something when you are doing your h       , what will you do? You can look at your books to f       the answer.
How to teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something you arei          in, or you have to read. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. A clever student is usually g        at asking questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by t         hard, by reading books, and sometimes by asking
o         people. These are the ways of teaching yourself. If you keep doing like these for a long time, you are s       to make great  progress in your study.

Today we have many ways to learn and enjoy ourselves. But why do many people still do some reading every day?
First, reading books is fun. You can always make your friends feel happy if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become lost in a book.
Next, you can read a book in a car, in a waiting-room, on a plane, in bed – even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient (方便的) hobby as it is easy to stop and then start again.
Another good reason for reading books is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby you will get better and better at it. This means that you will read faster and will become better at understanding what you read. As your reading improves, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much easier. Many school subjects depend on good reading and, as you read, you learn more and more.
Some people say that reading is out of date（过时）. This is not true. You have to be able to read to use a computer, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is hardly out of date!
Good readers are most likely to be good writers, too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby. What other hobby could be more useful, or more enjoyable!

Title:    is a good hobby
Main reasons	●It can bring your friends the     of happiness and    yourself. ●It is a convenient hobby and you can read books  . ●It can make you     better and help you learn     and faster.
Other reasons	●Reading     out of date. You may do reading    a computer.
●Good readers will be good    . If you read more, you’ll have more things to write about.
Reading is wonderful. It is one of the     useful or enjoyable hobbies!
