You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to “write between the lines”. Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading.

I insist, quite bluntly, that marking up a book is not an act of damage but of love. There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a piece of beef and transfer it from the butcher's icebox to your own. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.

There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers — unread, untouched. The second has a great many books — a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books or many — every one of them worn, shaken and loosened by continual use, marked and scribbled (涂写) in from front to back.

Why is marking up a book necessary to reading it? First, it keeps you awake.(And I don’t mean only conscious; I mean wide awake. ) In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought­through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

1.The third kind of owners of books must be ______.

A.experienced readers B.untidy readers

C.active readers D.careless readers

2.Marking up a book means ______.

A.writing down difficult sentences

B.finding the extra meanings of unknown words

C.writing in the space the ideas you get through careful reading

D.making notes to show you understand what you have read

3.What does the author persuade you to mark?

A.Whatever you have given deep thought to while reading.

B.Words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.

C.Primary questions that challenge you.

D.Whatever disagreements you may have with the book

4.A great advantage of marking up a book is ______.

A.to absorb all the brilliant ideas it contains

B.to make yourself a part of it

C.to make yourself conscious that you are reading actively

D.to enable yourself to pick up the book for continual reading

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The sun was just coming up when I headed out to work last May at 6 a.m. Not quite dark but dark enough to need my headlights. I turned onto one of the lonely rural country roads.

Maybe it was because I was listening to the radio, maybe it was because I was already thinking about some projects at work, that I didn’t spot the dark object on the road until I was too late. I ran over it and felt the back left tire pull, and then sink. I stopped and got out of the car.

No mystery here---- my back left tyre was cut like a loaf of bread. Back 50 yards was a piece of sharp iron I had run over. I had never changed a tyre. I looked up the road. Not a car in either direction. The nearest service station was miles away. I threw up my hands. Then I remembered---- my cell phone! I powered it up before realizing, I didn’t know who to call.

Wouldn’t you know it, I spotted a car coming from the opposite direction. The driver slowed as he approached. I guessed he could see I was in trouble. He stopped his car, got out and immediately saw the trouble. “Madam, would you like me to change that tyre for you?” he asked. The man couldn’t have been more friendly. I was frightened out there and he put me completely at ease. “There,” he said, after putting on the spare, “you are all set to go.”

“Good thing for me that you were driving this way,” I told him, as I climbed back into my car.

“Funny you should say that,” he said. “Just like you, I was heading to work, but my job is in the opposite direction. I made a wrong turn at some point. I don’t know what I was thinking.”

1.The writer didn’t notice the object on the road because ______.

A. it was rather dark then                 B. she didn’t use her headlights

C. there was much traffic                  D. she was careless when driving

2.From Paragraph 4 we learn that______.

A. the writer felt quite anxious

B. no one would like to help the writer

C. the writer was a new driver

D. the cell phone should be powered up

3.What did the man do when he saw the writer?

A. He stopped and laughed at her.

B. He walked over to frighten her.

C. He helped her without hesitation.

D. He drove away in the opposite direction.

4.The end of the story tells us that the man ______.

A. went a wrong way                       B. felt the writer funny

C. didn’t know what he was doing     D. come specially to help the writer
