　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　Amanda Hocking's parents divorced when she was young. Money was tight and there was no cable TV at home. “So I read a lot and took up writing as a child，” she recalled. The first novel Dreams I Can't Remember was written when she was 17. She sent it to several publishers, from whom she got rejection letters. Yet she would not give up. She wrote one after another. By April, 2010, she had written 17 unpublished novels.

　　Having spent years fruitlessly trying to interest traditional publishers in her work, Amanda Hocking was penniless and frustrated. To make matters worse, an exhibition about Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets, was coming to Chicago later that year, but she couldn't afford to make the trip!

　　Then an idea occurred to her. She decided to upload one of her unpublished novels to Amazon's online bookstore. There, people could download it to their e­readers for $0.99. With six months to go before the Muppets exhibition opened, she would surely make $300 needed for the desired journey to Chicago.

　　April 15 2010 should be noted by historians. On that day, Hocking made her book available to Kindle readers on Amazon's website in her bid to raise the cash for the Muppets trip.

　　“I didn't have a lot of hope on it，” she said. How wrong she was. Within a few days, she sold nine copies a day of My Blood Approves, a novel set in Minneapolis. By May she had posted two further books in the series, Fate and Flutter, and sold 624 copies. In July she posted Switched, the novel she wrote in barely more than a week. It brought in more than $6,000 that month alone, and in August she quit her day job as a carer for disabled children.

　　In six months, Hocking raised not only the $300 she needed, but an additional $20,000 selling 150,000 copies of her books. Over the past 20 months Hocking has sold 1.5 million books and made $2.5 million all by herself. Not a single publishing house was in sight.

　　Amanda Hocking did get to Chicago to see the Muppets. And along the way she helps to set off a revolution in global publishing. Now she is considered as a pioneer of the self publishing revolution, where direct contact between author and reader is but a few clicks away.

　　1. How was her family when Amanda Hocking was a child?

　　A. Wealthy.

　　B. Traditional.

　　C. Poor.

　　2. Which of the following words is most suitable to describe Amanda Hocking?

　　Ⅳ.阅读填空(每空不超过三个单词)

　　Reading helps children a lot. Children who love to read begin to develop both communication and thinking skills at a much younger age and are generally more creative and curious about the world around them. As a result, they are likely to be more successful when they grow up. Encouraging a love of the written word is an important part of any child's education.

　　With the constant distraction(分心) of video games, Internet and television, it is important to make time to promote a love of reading among children. The following tips will help young readers develop a lifelong love of books.

　　Encourage them to draw. Drawing is an important gateway skill that, when promoted at an early age, has been shown to increase literacy(读写能力) in children.

　　When children begin to read, encourage them to form a habit of reading. Schedule time every day to read and make trips to the library a regular occurrence.

　　Let children read books that they like best. Don't be judgmental if your children prefer romantic novels. Often they will get more out of something they're reading for joy than they would read something they're forced to read. A true love of literature is something that lasts a lifetime — there will be plenty of opportunities to read the classics later.

　　Make books a reward. You can promise to buy children a new book in exchange for getting good grades or helping around the house.

　　Inspire their creativity. Reading encourages children to think creatively about the world around them. Encourage them to write stories of their own.

　　Remember that when you take the time to encourage children to read, you are giving them the gift that benefits them all their life.
