Sea

Nowadays, it never seems we have enough time to realize all of the reading

goals (

目标

) that we set for ourselves. Luckily, we have mobile apps such as

Latte Read and GetAbstract to provide abstracts (

梗概

) of a text. Abstracts are

useful tools, especially for students, but like having a friend describe the main

content

of

a

story

to

you,

you

cannot

experience

the

joy

and

excitement

of

reading the original (

原来的

) text of yourself.

I

recently

finished

reading

a

thick

book

of

W.

Somerset

Maugham's

collected

short

stories.

It

took

me

around

ten

years

to

get

through.

Thomas

Mann's

difficult

TheMagic

Mountain

took

me

about

six

months

to

read;

Ayn

Rand's Atlas Shrugged

made me very bored most of the time. Reading a book,

whether

it

is

good

or

bad,

is

a

formative

(

建设性的

)

experience.

There

are

plenty of books which I probably shouldn't have taken the time toread. But the

challenge

of

living

for

a

time

in

the

thoughts

and

experiences

of

a

different

history or character makes even the worst book a valuable effort.

Whenever I finish the last line of a book and slowly close it, I like to sit there

and think over its lines with a mix of nostalgia (

怀旧之情

) and pride. I then take

the book in hand and find a place for it on my bookshelf. When I step back and

look at the books on my shelf, it is as if I am looking at the history of the different

lives that I have lived.

Abstracts are useful as a tool to an end, but reading the actual

(

真正的

)

book is something much richer. Reading, like anything else in life, is much more

about the journey than it ever was the destination (

目的地

).

29. What does the writer mainly want to say?

A. Reading abstracts is a best short way to enjoy literature.

B. Reading abstracts cannot bring you the true feeling of actual reading.

C. Reading different kinds of books brings you many advantages.

D. The journey and the destination are equally important in our reading.

30. What can we know about the writer from the second paragraph?

A. He prefers thick and difficult books to short stories.

B. A good book is better worth reading than a bad one to him.

C. He achieves a lot from reading some challenging books.

D. He is lucky enough never to have read a regrettable book.

31. In the third paragraph the writer ___________ his main point of view (

主要

观点

).

A. explains the meaning of

B. provides further support for

C. makes a conclusion of

D. offers an opposite example for

,

D

When Major, the most respected pig, saw all the animals were present, he

Before I die, let me ask you a is the nature of this life of ours? Let

us face it: our lives are
