It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the former US president. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was a wonderfully written book. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama, which showed that he had no idea of his background at all. I realized that I was talking to a book liar.
______ Nearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t read. In the World Book Day survey, Dreams from My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and different writers, which people have lied about. As I don’t lie very often, I’ll admit (承认) that I haven’t read all the ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding.
When people were asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation went deeper!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which writers they really enjoy, they named J.K. Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers). Forty-one percent of people asked said they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading-if any-and which is your favorite?
1.Which of the following can be the missing part in Paragraph 2?
A.Do you know what a book liar is?
B.And it seems that that person is not the only one.
C.Dreams from My Father is really popular in the world.

2.What does the World Book Day survey show?
A.Over 40% of people didn’t really read a whole book by famous writers.
B.People don’t like Dreams from My Father and 1984.
C.Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.
D.Many people like Charles Dickens better than J. K. Rowling.
3.If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?
(①=Para.(自然段)1 ②Para.2 ③=Para.3 ④=Para.4 ⑤=Para.5)
A.①; ②; ③④⑤ B.①②; ③; ④⑤
C.①②; ③④; ⑤ D.①; ②③④; ⑤
4.The best title of the passage may be “_______”.
A.Are You a Book Liar? B.Readers Are All Liars
C.World Book Day D.Dreams from My Father
