Avoid the classics, for they often use very old English words that are difficult to understand. Childrens books are a great place to start. Dr. Seusss books are sure to make you laugh. Dr. Seuss writes his books in rhyme and they are all very funny. Starting with something like this means you are more likely to finish the book and want to read more.For more advanced learners, you could try the Hobbit by J.R.R.Tolkien. 3 . If you like reading about historical events, Anne Holm I am David is a good read.If youre not quite ready to read a full book, why not try Roald Dahls Revolting Rhymes? 4 . Or, try a very short book like one from Roger Hargeavess Mr. Men and Little Miss series. Although they are intended for young children, they are a good way to pick up some more basic vocabulary.My final piece of advice would be to read something that interests you. Look at the short summary of the book on the back cover and see if it looks like something that you would enjoy. Think about the type that is in your own language and find one of that type in English.5 . AFor beginners, I would recommend starting with something short and simple.BThe key to success is choosing the right book for you.CThe book isnt too long and it may be easier to follow if youve seen the film.DThis way, youre more likely to enjoy reading, rather than see it as a headache.EThis book contains lots of short stories, based on fairy tales, all written in rhyme.二、完型填空Once theres a kingdom (王国)of tall people and a kingdom of short people. The tall people_ lots of apple trees, because its _ for them to pick apples.

A salary of $ 400,000, along with other benefits, is paid to the President annually. But President Obamas income for 2008 was far more than that, according to the White House.The White House recently published the tax returns (纳税申报单)of Obama and Vice president Joe Biden. Tax returns are reports of tax that a person has to pay. They often include income information used to calculate the tax. In the US, people whose incomes are over a certain amount have to file tax returns(纳税申报)every year. The tax returns of government officials are open to the public. This transparency helps to prevent corruption(腐败)。From Obamas tax returns , we can see that the President and first lady Presidents two books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope(无畏的梦想). The two books, published in 1995 and 2006,are very popular and have been on the bestseller(畅销书)list for a long time.The Obamas income is down from 2007,when they made 4.2 million. However, that is still far more than former US President George Bush earned, who reported a total of 719,274 for his final year. The Obamas income also greatly exceeded(超出)that of Biden, who reported a family income of 2269,256.Thats about a tenth of what the Obamas earned. As Vice-president, Biden earns a salary of 220,000.US families earn an average income of about 50,000.The Obamas tax returns also show that together, the President and his wife paid about 933,000 in taxes. They gave $172,050 nearly 6.5 percent of their earnings to different charity groups. In the US, if a person gives his money to churches and non-profit(非盈利)organizations, the law reduces his or her taxes. This is one reason why rich people in the US like to give money to charity.20 . _had the highest income in 2008.AObamaBBidenCBushDGeorge21 .
