When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 31 . Some stories are told 32 they were true. Real people who live in a 33 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 34 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 35 for us. But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we 37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 40 --which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds. Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 41 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 42 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 43 that we are real and they are 44 . It sounds 45 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 46 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 47 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too. Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 48 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 49  in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel  50 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books. 小题1: A．possible B．easy C．new D．different 小题2: A．that B．what C．whether D．as if 小题3: A．usual B．normal C．certain D．common 小题4: A．realistic B．reasonable C．moral D．instructive 小题5: A．difficult B．impossible C．important D．necessary 小题6: A．thinkable B．designed C．imagined D．planned 小题7: A．do B．make C．have D．are 小题8: A．lessons B．dreams C．experience D．magic 小题9: A．working B．thinking C．living D．understanding 小题10: A．knowledge B．skill C．words D．grammar 小题11: A．make B．get C．use D．have 小题12: A．a newspaper B．something C．everything D．a story 小题13: A．find B．learn C．know D．hope 小题14: A．too B．not C．all D．so 小题15: A．dangerous B．serious C．strange D．terrible 小题16: A．talk B．learn C．read D．think 小题17: A．telling B．pretending C．promising D．guessing 小题18: A．mind B．life C．world D．society 小题19: A．heart B．time C．money D．ourselves 小题20: A．what B．how C．when D．why
