1．If you want to teach children to read，below you will find some ideas to encourage reading in our children．（36）BBut remember，simplicity is the truth．The biggest encouragement comes from us-the parents．Children who come from a home where the parents read personally，value reading and have reading materials readily available are much more likely to become readers themselves．
Make books available and accessible（可接近的）．Children who become readers almost always come from homes where books and other reading materials are present throughout the house．Don't put your children's books out the way where your child cannot see them or cannot reach them himself．（37）D
Read yourself．（38）GIf your children see that you read，that you choose to read，and that you enjoy reading，they are more likely to develop the same habit and pursue the same activity．
（39）CThere are so many inexpensive，good books out there and something given or received as a gift becomes more valuable and cherished．My children routinely receive books as gifts from their grandmother，and they get so excited when they see her coming with them．They value books because they are valued by the important people in their lives．
Above all，make your read-aloud sessions（時間） fun．This is a great start to teach children to read because children love to make sound effects．（40）EFor example，in Cinderella we always make the sound of the clock chiming as it strikes midnight，"Dong…dong…dong．"We make knocking sounds as we read The Three Little Pigs when the wolf knocks on each of the three little pigs'doors．The kids really seem to like this added interaction and activity as we read．
A．Turn off the TV and provide quiet time．
B．Some of these ideas are very simple and basic．
C．Give books as gifts at birthday time or whenever．
D．Put the books near the floor within their reach．
E．Try to add them wherever you can when you read aloud．
F．He really enjoys being able to pick out his very own books．
G．Being a role model to your children is the best way to teach children to read．
分析 短文主要講了如何教你的孩子愛上閱讀的習慣，作者給出了幾點建議．
解答 36．B，考查前后銜接，根據后文simplicity is the truth，可知前面出現與simplicity意思相同的simple，故答案為B．
37．D，考查前后銜接，這一段的主題句是Make books available and accessible，把書放在可拿到的地方，前一句提到不要把書放在孩子看不到的地方，因此此空是要把書放在孩子拿得到的地方，故答案為D．
38．G，考查前后銜接，根據后一句If your children see that you read，that you choose to read，and that you enjoy reading，they are more likely to develop the same habit and pursue the same activity．如果你的孩子看到你讀書，他們也可能會讀書，因此此空表達你要成為孩子的榜樣，故答案為G．
39．C，考查段落主題句，后面句子children routinely receive books as gifts from their grandmother，孩子經常收到奶奶的禮物，因此這一段的主題是把書作為送給孩子的禮物．
40．E，考查前后銜接，這一段的主題是make your read-aloud sessions（時間） fun，因此此空應是讓你朗讀時間有趣的做法，故答案為E．
