Books can be a best friend. But nowadays not many people enjoy reading books , and most people don’t start to read until they have the time. Do you know how to enjoy reading books?
You’ll have to decide where to find a book first. Look for books in a library or a big bookstore. You can also ask friends or borrow books from them if you can check out their books.
If you find a good book, just sit in a comfortable chair or sofa and begin reading. Be sure to sit comfortably, or you will get tired soon. It will help you a lot to sit comfortably while reading.
The environment for reading is important, too. It has to be quiet, so that you can be calm before you begin to read. If there is too much noise, it’s not good for you to read.
When you start to read, don’t think about anything else, but what you’re reading. Put yourself into the story. If you read carefully, it will be difficult to put the book down.
Read and really enjoy it. Reading is not running your eyes over a book. But if you need to, read out the book fast, then you do not need to pay attention to every word. Just read and enjoy the book.

回答问题阅读短文，然后很据短文内容，简要回答下列问题。
Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man could move to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight against pollution. They stop people from burning coal(煤) in houses and factories, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean.Is our life much easier than it was hundreds of years ago ?
