a friend who lives in a different country.

阅读理解     Writing a long book seemed to be too much for me.So, for a long time, I just wrote short articles.
One day, inspiration (灵感) for an article hit me and, as I started writing, paragraphs began flowing out
fast.It turned out to be too long to be an article.I thought it would not hurt to try selfpublishing a booklet (小册子). The first printing of this 32page black and white booklet sold out within a week.Here is
something that I have learned through my experience.
    1. Start small.
    Don"t try to have a 400page work as your first publication (出版物). I suggest you publish a booklet
under 50 pages to launch your career as an author.
    2. Ask for advice.
    If you know some people who have published something, ask them for advice and help.You will gain
useful information from them and save yourself many problems.
   3. ____________________
    When you put your heart into something only to hear "We"re not interested", you may get hurt.But you
must remind yourself that this is quite common.Every "yes" you receive comes after at least five "noes",
especially at the beginning.You need to revise (校订) your book many times to reduce the chances of
being turned down.
   4. The more you market, the more you sell.
    You can publish an excellent book.But if no people know about it, you cannot expect many buyers.
Send out an email to friends, family and business partners, telling them your book"s publication date.Ask
them to help sell your book.Do not be afraid to try novel ideas.1. We learn that before selfpublishing his first booklet, the writer most probably________.A. hoped that he would write some famous long stories
B. had nothing published in newspapers
C. was not happy with what he had written
D. thought it difficult to finish a long book2. What does the underlined word "launch" in Point 1 here mean?A. Begin.

B. You will get hurt by what you wrote at first.
C. Prepare for a "yes" rather than a "no".
D. Be prepared to deal with "noes"4. According to the passage, if you want to have more copies of your book sold, you should________.A. advertise your book in newspapers
B. try to make more people know your book
C. ask your business partners to buy your book

阅读理解     The most important thing you can do for your child is to read to him or her every day for 20 minutes.
Make it a set time so that you do not miss it.This is how you start to teach your child to read.Find books
with sentences of three to four words,books with recurrent (反复出现的) words,as well as books on
topics that your child finds interesting and read these together.
     Once you feel your child is ready to learn how to read,do not give in to social pressure.You should go on no matter what.
     I have found no better book to teach reading than Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons by Siegfried Engelmann,Phyllis Haddox,and Elaine Bruner.It is a very popular book,so it is easy to find online.Each day you follow the lesson until you reach the end of the book.I usually go over each lesson a few times.Once your child reaches the 65th lesson or so,you can bring in other easy readers for your child to try.It
is important to continue to read to your child and go over the lesson as many times as you need to.
     Each lesson takes about 15 minutes,but some parents find it is difficult____________.If you find
yourself feeling so,do not feel like a failure because it was not the warm and fuzzy experience I have
described.You can even hire someone like a teenager who is good with children to work with your child.
If_your_child_does_not_read_at_a_level_you_would_like_them_to_be_at,do_not_feel_like_a_failure,
and
