湖南省醴陵市2016高考英语阅读理解一轮选练（12） 阅读理解。 Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes，fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home．Every home should have a good dictionary．A good encyclopedia(百科全书)，though expensive，is useful，too，because you can find information on any subject．Besides，you can have such books as history books，science textbooks，cookbooks，and collections of stories and poems．Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets. 1.
