2016年12月大学英语四级阅读暑期练习及答案(一)

　　Children are bombarded on a daily basis with multiple forms of entertainment that compete with traditional learning.

　　Kids naturally emulate the adults in their lives, and seeing their parents and other family members enjoy reading is a powerful motivator. Establishing and keeping a Read-At-Home Night helps families spend time together and helps form lifelong reading habits in children.

　　Here’s how you do it:

　　Set aside one night a week in your household and call it "Read-At-Home Hour"--or anything you prefer. Establish a time allotment that works for your family, for example, 30 minutes or an hour.

　　Minimize interruptions from the TV, computer, and video games--and turn on the telephone answering machine.

　　Choose one book for the entire family to read aloud together, or encourage individual family members to choose their own books to read quietly. Electronic books can work in this context, as well.

　　Finally, sit down, relax, and read.
