　　To learn English well you must learn about yourself. You must discover what your own special needs are in English. You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate(集中)on those parts. And above all, you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English, pick out your own special problems, find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them.

　　Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

　　When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor（盔甲）”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks（空白）in your knowledge. On the other hand ,it is no good just trying to fill your mind with Knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning, like a silly tourist（旅游者）going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose , and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

1．The writer thinks that one must ______.

[　　]

A．read as many books as he can

B．try to read books on all the different subjects

C．only read books on subjects that interest him

D．read and absorb a lot

2．A cultured man is similar(相同)to a camel because ______.

[　　]

A．neither of them is interested in knowledge

B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass

C．neither of them can be considered wise

D．both of them have the ability to select

3．The term “mental food” at the end of the passage refers to ______.

[　　]

A．books　　　B．grassland

C．brain　　　D．subjects

4．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.

[　　]

A．how to compare furniture with books

B．how to select reading materials

C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.

D．why books must be absorbed

5．The writer thinks that it is ______ to try to master every subject.

[　　]

A．necessary　　　B．possible

C．not good　　　 D．not interesting
