《2025年通城学典暑期升级训练七年级英语译林版延边大学出版社》

八、(2024·广东改编)任务型阅读。(每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
Reading a good book is a wonderful journey because the reader can live in someone else's world for a while. Reading together with others, known as buddy(同伴) reading, will make this journey even more fantastic. During the journey, the buddies spend time doing a lot of reading activities. This not only adds to the pleasure of reading, but also deepens their understanding of the books.
Although it is all right to have students join in buddy reading with same-aged schoolmates, schools usually pair up older students with younger ones. In 2021, Green School started such a programme and has achieved great success.
Both younger and older readers in this school have learned a lot from this two-year programme. For example, when they listened to each other, they learned to be kind and patient. This experience has also provided them with a chance to practise lifelong skills such as exercising leadership or communicating with others. A student called Jason said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more confident, as he knew he was a role model for someone.
The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt more connected as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway.
Now the summer vacation is coming. It's a great time to get into books. Why not pair up with a friend, choose a book you both like and read it together?
