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Some people say that reading is out of date（过时）.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 Reading is hardly out of date!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Other reasons	●Reading     out of date.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!

The New Year
One New-year morning, Edward’s father gave him two dollars. He left the house happily. He wanted to buy some books. On the street, he saw a poor family, the father, mother and three children.      , and they were shivering(颤抖).
“Happy New Year!” Edward said to the man.      . He couldn’t understand English. But he pointed to his mouth. It seemed he was saying, “We have nothing to eat.”
Edward understood.     , and he gave one dollar to the man, and the other to his wife.

Their eyes were full of gratitude(感激)! They said something in their language. It probably meant, “Thanks a lot.”
When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought.
“     ,” said Edward, “I gave my money to some poor people. They seemed to be very hungry. I can buy my books until next New Year.”
“My dear boy,” said his father, “Here are some books.      . I saw you give the money to the poor family. Be ready to help the poor and every year will be a happy New Year to you.”
