Ray Charles, a black singer and pianist of the USA. He had won 12 Grammy Awards (格莱美奖) and performed at 10,000 concerts around the world. Many musicians called him simply “the Genius” (天才).
Ray Charles was born into a poor family, without a father. When he was 5 years old, his younger brother died, and around the same time, Charles started to lose his sight. By the age of 7 he was completely blind. He had already been learning the piano for a year, and when he went blind, his mother knew this would be the only way he would make any money in the future. All his life, Charles remembered her saying: “Do it right, or don’t do it at all.”
Later he went to a school for blind and deaf children. There the teachers also encouraged him to study music. Sadly, while he was still at school, his mother died. He left school and in the early 1950s Charles organized a group of players. He sang, p layed the piano and wrote music.

The part of Charles was played by a younger actor and musician called Jamie Fox. The film director brought Fox to meet Charles. After they had been playing together for two hours, Charles, then aged 73, jumped up and said: “He’s the one ... he can do it.” A year later Charles died aged 74.

When I was a boy my mum used to say I would read the back of a medicine bottle if I didn’t have a book in my hand. It was true, and even now that reading habit has been with me. I always have at least one book being read, sometimes I might have two or three. And I’m talking about real books, books made out of paper, books that you can hold in your hand, to read, at the table, on the subway or my favorite place to read—in the bath.
But the number of people reading books is dropping. A recent survey tells us that Chinese people only read 4.77 printed books a year on average(平均) and in the US, 25 percent of the population say they didn’t read a book last year! So what’s stopping people from reading?
The answer of course is the huge influence that technology has had on our life. Why read a book when you can watch a movie or TV play on your smart phones or iPads? For younger people, books may not be as exciting as online games. With stories you have to work at it, closely follow the turns of the plot(情节). There are no shortcuts with a book. You have to turn page after page.
But you can still ge t lost in a book. We all have this thing called imagination. It’s much more powerful than any computer; in fact, it’s worth remembering that an y online ga me was first written in words as a story by its writer. It’s all about his or her or their imagination.
So we need to read—if we do not read, it will be hard for us to improve our ability to think widely, to have an imagination. Reading is a process in which we need to compare and connect other things we have read and seen in the past. If you do not read, this will not only influence your study, but also your social life in the future.
So why not follow me from now on? Run a hot bath, or find a comfortable chair and read a good book for a few hours—there are quite many, for free, in your local library. ( ) 11. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. The writer used to enjoy playing with a medicine bottle.
B. The writer has had the reading habit since his childhood.
C. The writer often reads books at a table on the subway.
( ) 12. The number of people reading books is dropping because _______________.
A. books are becoming less interesting
B. technology has greatly influenced our life
C. there aren’t enough printed books to read
( ) 13. What does the w ord “shortcuts” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean in Chinese?
A. 捷径
B. 理念
C. 缺点
( ) 14. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.Reading can help to develop our imagination.
B. All online games were first written in words.
C. Younger people prefer books to online games.
( ) 15. In the last paragraph, the writer mainly suggests that we should __________.
A. read books in a comfortable chair
B. borrow books from the library
C. read more books in our life
D
