Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: When I'm in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I'll forget all the troubles. I've formed the habit of reading in this way. When I was a little boy, I was interested in picture books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, 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 our city. Reading The Emperor's New Clothes, I had to let out a burst of laughter over his silly action. 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 perseverance . Besides these, books also tell me other things -- how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between the right and the wrong. In a word, good books can make me know what I didn't know before. So I think of good books as my best friends. I'll never forget this famous saying, "Good books are the best friends who never turn their backs upon us." Question: At first, the writer read in order to _ . Answer:

OPTIONS:
- enjoy novels
- form the habit of reading
- learn more
- forget his troubles

A: forget his troubles

Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: Some children wish to be writers when they grow up. They mean that they want to write stories or books. They would be happy if many people read their stories or books some day. But I would like to tell these children that they will need to be good readers and read a lot before they become good writers. Nearly all great writers listened to others tell stories long before they started school. They also kept on reading for hours and hours for years. Even when they have become writers, they spend much of their time reading books instead of watching TV in the evening. If you are a good reader, it won't take you long to do the reading homework your teacher ask you to do. Then you will have time to read other books for fun. You read so well that you always want to look for more books to read. If you want to be a writer, reading is very important. When you decide to become a writer, you had better tell yourself, "I must read more and more if I really want to become a good writer." Question: Which is the best title of this passage? Answer:

OPTIONS:
- Great writers
- How to become a writer
- How to be a good reader
- Books and stories

A:
How to become a writer
