Have you insisted on reading great books
What is a great book? There is no end to the making of books. Nor does there seem to be any end to the making lists of great books. There has always be more books than one could read. You can be happy at the fact that the number of that is relatively small.
However,today,people usually leave it in the library. According to the national reading survey issued by The China Academy of Press and Publication, in 20xx, only 55% Chinese aged between18 and 70 book read books .That is to say, there are more than forty percent of the people seldom read in China.
It is a great challenge to literature. As a educated student,have you insist on reading great books. In order to change the situation ,we must take actions to read great books.
In Adler’s essay of What is A Great Book, he explain why we should read great books. I conclude it as follows.
First,great books are the most readable. They will not let you down ,if you read them well. The have more ideas per page than most books in the their entirety. This is why you can read a great book over and over again and never exhaust it contents.
Second ,great books are always contemporary,in contrast to the books we called contemporary,because they are currently popular ,last for a year or tow,or ten at most. You may probably can not recall the names of many earlier best sellers,and you may probably would not be interest in reading them. But the great are never out modeled by the movement of thought or the shifting winds of opinion .
Third ,great books are the most instructive. This follows the fact that they are original communications. They contain what cannot be found in other books. Whether you ultimately agree or disagree what they say. They are the primary teachers of mankind. They have made basic contribution to human right .
Just giving you the reason is not enough, I will give you some methods to realize you reading dream.
Firstly,you can begin with a interesting novel. You will be attracted by the figures,the plots .Than ,after reading a lot of books ,you may be get into a habit of reading. So,you can contact with some complex books,such as philosophy ,arts and so on. You will be shocked at the new world.
There are countless great books in our library,you must make great advantage of it. Of course ,it is a better choice to buy great books. Collecting books is a enjoyable thing,at least for me. So,reading great books. The new world is coming.
Only reading be self-motivated people can learn knowledge, otherwise, willbecome ignorant. I think, we should like to read books, love reading. I rememberthat du may once said a words: "reading make people relaxed and happy."
There is a famous saying: "read volumes, such as writing." Reading has manybenefits, reading can let us growth knowledge; Reading books can broaden ourvision; Reading can let we collected many good words we segment. In reading abook, I deeply feel: books are immense ocean, book is the sky of knowledge,books are endless prairie.
Gorky once said such a words: "books are the ladder of human progress." "Irushed in a book is like a hungry person sees a loaf of bread." Yes, books cancultivate people's sentiment, it can make us relax and breathe the fresh air. Ithink, love is never wrong, books can make us get rid of a lot of bad habits.It's good to read! Reading makes I aspire to be a useful person to society, Iwant to be like the beloved premier zhou "reading for the rise of the Chinese,"we only have small to read and study hard, to master the knowledge, grow up, canwe use our talents to serve human, repay our dear motherland.
Let us act quickly, to book sea roam! Then you will realize theShakespeare's words: "life without books, just like without the sun, wisdomwithout books, like a bird without wings." The refraction of the truth.
只有读书求上进的人才能学到知识，不然的话，就会变得愚昧无知。我想，我们应该喜欢读书、爱读书。我记得，杜阿美曾经说过一句话：“读书使人心旷神怡。”
有一句名言说：“读书破万卷，下笔如有神。”读书有许多好处，读书可以让我们增长知识;读书可以开阔我们的视野;读书可以让我们收集到许许多多的好词好句好段。在读书中，我深深地感受到：书是无边无际的海洋，书是知识的天空，书是无垠的草原。
高尔基曾经说过这样两句话：“书籍是人类进步的阶梯。”“我扑在书上就像饥饿的人扑在面包上。”是的，书可以陶冶人的情操，它能让我们放松心情，自由呼吸新鲜的空气。我认为，爱书是永远都不会错的，书可以让我们改掉许许多多的不良习惯。读书真好!读书使我立志做个对社会有用的人，我要像敬爱的周总理那样“为中华之崛起而读起”我们只有从小刻苦读书、学习， 掌握那渊博的知识，长大了以后，才能用我们的才干为人类服务，报答我们那亲爱的祖国。
让我们赶快行动起来，去书的海洋遨游吧!那时你会体会到莎士比亚的名言：“生活中没有了书籍，就好像没有了太阳;智慧中没有了书籍，就好像鸟儿没有了翅膀。”所折射的真理。

so,in order to revive reading,this beneficial activity,we'd better takeaction right now.let's read together,learn together and grow !
Knowledge can be acquired from many sources. These include books, teachersand practical experience, and each has its own advantages. The knowledge we gainfrom books and formal education enables us to learn about things that we have noopportunity to experience in daily life. We can study all the places in theworld and learn from people we will never meet in our lifetime, just by readingabout them in books. We can also develop our analytical skills and learn how toview and interpret the world around us in different ways. Furthermore, we canlearn from the past by reading books. In this way, we won't repeat the mistakesof others and can build on their achievements.
Practical experience, on the other hand, can give us more useful knowledge.It is said that one learns best by doing, and I believe that this is true,whether one is successful or not. In fact, I think making mistakes is the bestway to learn. Moreover, if one wants to make new advances, it is necessary toact. Innovations do not come about through reading but through experimentation.Finally, one can apply the skills and insights gained through the study of booksto practical experience, making an already meaningful experience moremeaningful. However, unless it is applied to real experiences, book knowledgeremains theoretical and, in the end, is useless. That is why I believe thatknowledge gained from practical experience is more important than that acquiredfrom books.

When I'm free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. In no time, I've put my heart into it so that I'll forget all the troubles. It's in this way that I've formed the habit of reading in any time.
Little boys as I was, I was interest in picture books and storybooks. I was struck by them. No sooner had I entered the middle school than I began to read novel, plays, essays and so on. I found I could get much from them. Little by little I took great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest among middle-school students in Zhe Jiang.
Reading “The Emperor's New Clothes”, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his fool. “The Little Match Girl” couldn't keep me from crying for her misery. “ Robinson Crusoe” took me into a strange world full of danger. And I was also deeply impressed by Helen Keller's patience and perseverance… Besides these, books also tell me other thing -how to be a man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didn't before. So I think of a good book as my best friend.
I'll never forget this famous saying,“ Good books are best friends who never turn their backs upon us.”
Have you ever learned English by watching English DVD movies? Is that an effective English learning method for you? Why?
Watching English DVD movies is a very effective method of learning English. I learnt English at college at home. As a natural result of insufficient English speaking environment, my speaking and listening abilities were not developed satisfactorily, although my reading and writing abilities were quite all right. I remember my experience during a summer vacation when I made plans to watch 10 original English movies (I mean those not dubbed.) including the classic Casablanca, Rebecca, A Tale of Two Cities, and Little Women.
Ipersistently carried out my plan and each of the films I watched a dozen times until I could recite most of the dialogues. At the end of that summer vacation, I found I became nearly as fluent as a native English speaker.
The Ways of Reading(读书之法)
We may obtain knowledge by reading. The more books we read, the more we accumulate the knowledge. Is it right? I don’t think so. It’s not wide reading but useful reading that leads to excellence. And only good books can benefit us.
So choosing books is very important for reading. Many students spend a lot of time reading legends and swordsman novels. It’s a waste of time. Some students even read some bad books and it is harmful for them.
So be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep, for our habit and character will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter.
one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whetherthe houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other handthey are the butt of swift's satire。 in other words， in book iv， is swift pokingfun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as theproper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act， we cansee that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show thedangers of pride。
first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously。 forinstance， his name sounds much like gullible， which suggests that he willbelieve anything。 also， when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrementon him， he responds by doing the same in return until they run away。 he says， "imust needs discover some more rational being，" even though as a human he isalready the most rational being there is。 this is why swift refers to erasmusdarwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-toshow how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain。 but iflemule gulliver is satirized， so are the houyhnhnms， whose voices sound like thecall of castrati。 they walk on two legs instead of four， and seem to be muchlike people。 as gulliver says， "it was with the utmost astonishment that iwitnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz。 to mymind， they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court， even more d
extrous than the lord edmund burke" 。 as this quote demonstrates， gulliveris terribly impressed， but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-livedbecause they are so prideful。 for instance， the leader of the houyhnhnms claimsthat he has read all the works of charles dickens， and that he cansinglehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up togeorge ii。 swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when， inthe middle of the intellectual petition， he forgets the name of queen elizabethshusband。
swifts satire of the houyhnhnms es out in other ways as well。 one of themost memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horsethat guenivre has brought with him to the island。 first she acts flirtatiously，parading around the bewildered horse。 but when this does not have the desiredeffect， she gets another idea: "as i watched in amazement from my perch in thetop of a tree， the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her backwho was yet more monstrous than mr。 pope being fitted by a clothier。 she droppedthis creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice。 my horse sniffed thecreature and turned away。" it might seem that we should take this sceneseriously as a failed attempt at courtship， and that consequently we should seethe grey mare as an unrequited lover。 but it makes more sense if we see thatswift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move，which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england。 the houyhnhm isb
eing prideful， and it is that pride that makes him unable to impressgullivers horse。 gulliver imagines the horse saying， sblood， the notion ofcreating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr。 pope on her backmakes me queezy 。
a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriouslyoccurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput， where he visits thefrench royal society。 he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turnwine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee)。the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years withoutsuccess， when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "thecreature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan。slurping up all the wine in sight， he quickly made water in a bucket that satnear the door" 。
When I'm free or in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. Inno time, I've put my heart into it so that I'll forget all the troubles. It's inthis way that I've formed the habit of reading in any time.

书是我们的朋友。它们向我们介绍不同种类的知识，它指导我们沿着成功之路前行。
书是我们的老师。它们教我们真理、科学、文学和生活的哲理，同时它们增加了我们的知识，扩大了我们的视野，增强了我们的个性，使我们还做了在没有书的情况下绝不可能完成的其他事情。
书能让我们明辨是非，并且只有书才能让我们吸取反面教训。

In this summer holidays， I read a book called < Great Expectations>，it was written by the Charles Dickens， one of the most famous English writers。He wrote lots of wonderful novels。 This book is one of his positions。
People always like to pare with their friends。 It is a big foible of allthe people。 If other people have a lot of money， we also want to be rich。 If allthe people around us are poor ， we never mind that we are very poor， too。 wewill not ashamed because of our folly。 This is a social problem。
If we never possess anything， we will not mind we lost some thing。 Since wedon’t want to be very rich ，we will not feel despond because poor。
The protagonist of this novel is Pip (Handel)。 His parents died when he wasa baby。 His sister had brought him up ‘by hand’。 His sister married to JoeGargery， the village blacksmith。 They didn’t have much money， and Pip never wentto school to study。 But he was often very happy 。Because all of his friends arelike him。 It isn’t very unfortunate to them， this is their lives。 But by achance， Pip helped a convict; he gave much food to him。 Then he met MissHavisham， a very strange old woman and she was very rich。
Four years later， Miss Havisham wants Pip to be removed from his home andeducated as a gentleman who expects inherit a fortune when he grow up。
After hearing that 。 Pip started to despise his poor friends。 He even feelashamed because he live with the poor man 。 Pip’s ‘great expectations’ destroyedhis life。
This novel told us that we cannot pare with others 。Don’t feel envy at theothers money。 And if one day you be very rich ， please don’t despise your poorfriends。
As is well known, books teach us to learn life, truth, science and manyother useful things.
They increase our knowledge, broaden our minds and strengthen ourcharacter. In other words, they are our good teachers and wise friends.
This is the reason why our parents always encourage us to read morebooks.
Reading is a good thing, but we must pay great attention to the choice ofbooks.
It is true that we can derive benefits from good books.
However, bad books will do us more harm than good.
如众所周知，书籍教我们学习人生，真理，科学以及其它许多有用的东西。它们增加我们的知识，扩大我们的心胸并加强我们的品格。换句话说，它们是我们的良师益友。这是为什么我们的父母终是鼓励我们要多读书的理由。
读书是一好事，但我们必须多加注意书的选择。不错，我们能从好书中获得益处。然而，坏书却对我们有害无益。
We have received education since the very young age. The elder always tellsthe young generation that study makes them become an useful person, so as tomake a lot of money. As a result, in children’s mind, the purpose of reading isto make money. Indeed, when we learn, we will master the skills and find ourplace in the world. First, we need some skills to make money and make ends meet,but the meaning of reading is more than that. Reading can teach us the positiveand different ways to treat life. A painting’s value will be appreciated by thepeople educated well, but for some people, it is just a picture. Reading endowsus the beauty from life. It makes us happy and see a bigger world.
我们从小就开始接受教育。大人们总是告诉年轻一代，学习能让他们成为一个有用的人，才能赚很多钱。因此，在孩子们的心目中，读书的目的是为了赚钱。的确，当我们学习时，我们会掌握到技能，找到我们在世界上的位置。首先，我们需要一些技巧来赚钱，需要满足正常需求，但读书的意义不止于此。读书可以教会我们用积极和不同的方式去对待生活。一幅画的价值会被受过良好教育的人欣赏，但对一些人来说，却只是一张图片。读书赋予我们生活的美，它使我们快乐，看到一个更大的世界。
