How to Read a Book
Books can be your best friends. 71 They can introduce you the things you may never see… But do you know how to read them in order to get the fullest enjoyment possible? The following tips should help.
1. Find a book. Look in the library or in one of the large bookstores. You could also ask friends if you could have a book at their book shelves. Search the selves until you find a book that looks good．Read the first page to see how it reads, and the cover text on the back of the book, if it has any. 72
2. Buy or borrow it and take it home. Do not start to read it until you have the time. 73 And set aside time to do nothing else but read, as it can be, at times, suspenseful（悬疑的）, exciting and relaxing.
3. Get comfortable on the couch. Have a lamp（ 灯 ) behind you, lighting the area where you are reading. Make sure the television is off and that anything else that could distract you has been attended to. 74 __.
