As a kid, I walked to the library several times a week and stayed up late reading. I checked out so many books and returned them so quickly the librarian once snapped, “Don’t take home so many books if you’re not going to read them all.”

“But I did read them all,” I said.

In college, when I created my online dating（约会）profile, in the “ favorite books” section I put One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Moveable Feast, White Fang and so on. But I realized I hadn’t read most of those titles for two years.

David was my first online date. David read about a book or two a week. When we compared libraries, we had only four titles in common.

On our seventh date, David and I visited the library.

“I have a game,” he said, taking out two pens and Post-its（便利贴）. Let’s find books we’ve read and leave reviews in them for the next person. ”

We stayed there for an hour.

Before leaving, I said, “I will tell you something. I’ve only read one book this year. ”

“But you like books, ”he said. “You like bookstores. You like libraries. Read a book!”

Back home, David’ s charge to “read a book” echoed in my head. I bought books whenever I got the chance, but I hardly read them. They sat on every surface until my house appeared to wear books the way one wears clothes.

I picked up one. Whenever I wanted to give up on it, I thought of David__________.

“How’s your day?” David texted.

“Good. A little tired, ”I replied. “I stayed up late and finished my book. ”The last time I’d pulled an all-nighter to read, I was 12 and the book was Little Women.

David suggested we visit the library again. He pulled a book from the shelf, dropped to one knee, and opened it. Inside, his Post-it read:“Karla, it has always been you. Will you marry me? ”

His proposal had rested in the book for over a year.

1.How do the first two paragraphs help develop the story?

A.To show how rude the librarian was. B.To show Karla was always a reader.

C.To prove Karla just liked borrowing books. D.To prove it’s better to buy books than borrow books.

2.Which is the correct order of what happened to Karla?

a. She had a game with David.

b. She created her online dating profile.

c. She was shown the Post-it written to her.

d. She told David she only read one book that year.

e. She found they had only four titles in common.

A.dbeac B.baecd C.beadc D.dbase
