（1）天津市部分区2019～2020学年度第一学期期中练习之B篇 Let me explain a bit by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humour, but sadly reading isnt one of them. I can happily spend a whole day curled up with a book but my dad cant read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and documents for work, but not books. I think that sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good, way to relax. Giving yourself a goal or a challenge is a good way to change a habit or achieve something, so why not try to create a new habit of reading? I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits from reading, which screen-based activities (games, films, TV) dont have. One thing I personally love about reading, is being transported to another world. I often forget the time or thing that are going on around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. While watching a film, I often talk to my flatmates, send texts, or paint my nails. A book, on the other hand commands your full attention. Reading gives you the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other peoples point of view, and understand other peoples decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling—you really can be inside someone elses head! So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when youre waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading. 41. What can we learn about the authors father from Paragraph 1? A. He is kind-hearted. B. He lacks humour. C. He h
