Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes， fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper， when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man， when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading， however. Today， newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive， many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本)， which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories， for example， is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater， and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书)， though expensive， is useful， too， because you can find information on any subject. Besides， you can have such books as history books， science textbooks， cookbooks， and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
53. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A.Fewer and fewer people will buy books.
B.A good dictionary should be kept in every home.
C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.
D. More people like TV programs about famous men.
54. What does the sentence “Television has not killed reading， however.” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?
A. People only need reading， though.
B. Reading is still necessary today.
C. Reading is more fun than television.
D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.
55. What can we learn from the passage?
A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge.
B. Cinemas are the best choice in getting information.
C. Reading is cheap way of learning and having fun.
D. Newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself.

When you read an article you will understand and remember it better if you can work out how the writer has put the ideas together．Sometimes a writer puts ideas together by asking questions and then answering them．For example，if the article is about groundhogs（土拨鼠），the set of questions in the writer’s head might be：
What does a groundhog look like？
Where do groundhogs live？
What do they eat？…
In the article，the author might answer those questions．
Sometimes an author writes out her questions in the article．These questions give you signals．They tell you what the author is going to write next．Often an author has a question in her head but she doesn’t write it out for you．You have to work out her question for yourself．Here’s a sample reading for you to practice this method.
Earthworms
Do you know how many kinds of earthworms there are？There are about 1800 kinds in the world！ They can be brown，purple，green．They can be as small as 3 cm long and as large as 3 m long．
The best time to see earthworms is at night，especially a cool，damp night．That’s when they come up from their burrows（地洞）to hunt for food．Earthworms don’t like to be in the sun．That’s because they breathe through their skin，and they can’t breathe if their skin gets too dry．Earthworms must come out of the earth if it rains a lot，because they can‘t breathe in their flooded burrows．What a dangerous life！
Earthworms don‘t have eyes，so how can they tell when it‘s dark？ They have special places on their skin that are sensitive to light．These spots tell whether it’s light or dark．If you shine a flashlight on an earthworm at night，it will quickly disappear into the ground．
