Are you a book lover? What is your favourite book? A study shows that 90% kids say their favourite books are the ones they pick themselves. There are about 158,464,880 books in the world and about 2.2 million new ones are published (出版) every year. There are so many books in the world that even the most hard-working readers would not be able to finish them all.

However, many people like to reread books. It means they will read the same book again and again. They think books are like people. Some you meet once and that's enough. Some you want to get to know better and every time you are with them, you discover (发现) more about them. Some are old friends you haven't seen for years, but to meet them again is a joy. Every time you read a book, you find something new and your understanding may become different from the last time as you get older.

Still, many people think it's better to spend time discovering a new story. Why read a book you have already read when there are so many more to discover? Books are not like films or songs. They take some time to read, and that time would be better spent reading something new.

So what do you think? Will you read a book more than once?

Coconuts grow high in coconut trees. The man was too old to climb trees, so he looked for coconuts that had fallen to the ground. After walking a long way, he finally filled his cart with coconuts and then started his way home.

After a short time, the man saw a boy walking down the road. He asked the boy, "Is the village near? Will it take me long to get home?"

The boy looked at the cart full of coconuts. Then he said, "If you go fast, it will take a long time. If you go slowly, you will be home soon."

"What a foolish boy," the man thought. He made his horse go fast and many of the coconuts fell off the cart. It took a long time to pick them up and put them back on the cart.

"Now I have wasted time picking up coconuts," the man said. "I had better hurry so I can get home soon." Once again, the man made his horse go fast. Once again, coconuts fell off the cart. The man stopped to pick them all up.

Finally, the old man thought about the boy's words. "________," he said. He made his horse go slowly, and soon he was home.

It was a holiday, weekend. My parents took me to a peach garden in the countryside. It was a sea of peach flowers — pink and white. There was a wonderful sweet3 in the air too. My parents started taking a lot of pictures of me.

Then Mom asked, "Do you want to take a picture of us too?"

"Yes, yes!" I said4. But Dad was worried. He said that I was too5 and I may break (弄坏) the camera. Mom said, "Let him6. There is no need to worry, dear." Dad was not sure,7 he agreed.

Mom and Dad smiled at the camera. Mom told me to look through the little hole where I would see8 in the middle. "Then hold your breath and press the button (按下按钮)," she said. I listened to Mom's words and held the camera carefully. Click! The picture was taken!
