Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?ACharles Dickens is very low on the topten list.B42% of people pretended to have read 1984.CThe author admitted having read 9 books.DDreams From My Father is hardly read.解析：细节理解题。本题的关键词是guilty secret，定位第二、三段。根据文章第三段可知，不像百分之四十二的人那样，我很高兴地说，我读过排在第一位的George Orwells 1984。由此可知，作者读过这本书，而百分之四十二的人却没读过。故选B。答案：B3. By lying about reading, a person hopes to_.Acontrol the conversationBappear knowledgeableClearn about the bookDmake more friends解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“当被问及为什么撒谎的时候，最普遍的理由是想给正在说话的人留下深刻的印象”可知，人们之所以选择撒谎是想让对方觉得自己知识渊博，从而给对方留下一个好的印象，故B正确。答案：B4.

He has discovered that how we deal with money in our daily life has more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they can see what they really value in life.He says our relations with others often become clearly defined（清晰的）when money enters the picture. You might have wonderful relationship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends. But you will know him only when you ask him to lend some money.

We spend all year looking forward to nice weather and long, hot days. All of winter, with its cloudy days and bitter cold, we dream of those endless days at the beach, lying on the sand and enjoying the bright and burning sun. And then, summer comes, and it rains. As a child, I would wake up to rainy summer days and come close to crying. It wasnt fair. We suffered through months of school and experienced bad weather for those short ten weeks of freedom and pleasant weather. On those rainy summer days, I had nothing fun to do and could only sit inside, staring out at the rain like a bird in a cage. I was an only child, so there was no one else to play with. My father worked from home, so I was not truly alone, but he could not actively play with me since he was at work. It was those days that I would watch whatever was on television or read any books that I could find lying around. Id drag through the day and pray each night that the rain would not be there the next day. As an adult, though, my opinion of summer rain has changed. When you have to work every day, summer is not as exciting. Everything seems dull. Such a mindset makes you cheer for anything new or different. I spend the winter dreaming of summer and the summer dreaming of winter. When summer comes, I hate how hot it is. And then I look forward to the rain, because the rain brings with it a cold front, which makes me comfortable. Rainy days are still the worst days of the summer, but summer rain today means positively beautiful and considerably cooler weather tomorrow.【小题1】When the author was a child, he _. Ahated rainy daysBliked staying indoorsCpreferred cooler weatherDdreamed on summer days【小题2】We can learn from the passage that the author _.
