My Favorite Book

Among all the books I have read so far, my favorite is Charlotte's Web. It's a classic children's book written by E.B. White. The story takes place on a farm where Wilbur, a pig, is about to be killed. But Charlotte, a clever spider, saves him by writing words in her web to make Wilbur famous. Together, they form a deep friendship. E.B. White was also a famous essayist, and his works are loved for their warmth and wisdom. The New York Times once praised this book as "a timeless story of friendship and sacrifice."

【读一读,想一想】
My hobby is reading. I like reading books, magazines, newspapers, collections of short stories, novels, poems, or any kind of reading material that I find interesting.
This hobby got started when I was a little boy. At that time, I wanted my parents to read fairy tales (神话故事) and other stories to me. Soon they got fed up (厌烦) with having to read to me all the time. So as soon as I could, I learned to read. I started with ABC books. Soon I could read simple fairy tales and other stories. Now I read just about anything available (可得到的).
Reading enables (使能够) me to learn about many things. I learned about how people lived in the bygone (以往的) days of magic and mystery. I learned about the wonders of the world, space travel, human achievements, huge whales, tiny viruses (病毒), and other fascinating things.
The wonderful thing about reading is that I don’t have to learn things the hard way. Books have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better equipped (具备的) to cope with (应付) living. Otherwise, I would go about ignorantly (无知地) learning things the hard way. For example, I don’t have to catch a disease to know that it can kill me. I read about the danger so I can avoid it. Also, I don’t have to go deep into the jungle to learn about tigers. I can read all about them in a book.
So, I continue to read. Besides being more informed about the world, I also spend my time profitably (有益地). It is indeed a good hobby. What is the best way to read more? We can take a book with us all the time and read it when waiting for something, like the bus. Make a list of books you are interested in, and make plans for when to finish reading them.
What’s your reading habit? Can you introduce it to us? 快来介绍一下你的阅读习惯吧!

答案： I have a good reading habit. I like reading novels and history books best. Every evening, after finishing my homework, I will spend about an hour reading. Sometimes, I also take a book with me when I go out. When I wait for the bus or have a rest, I can read for a while. I often take notes while reading, writing down the beautiful sentences and my own thoughts. Reading makes me learn a lot of knowledge and broadens my horizons. It also makes me feel relaxed after a busy day.
