阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从16—30各题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is    16  to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in    17   too much from the first reading of a(n)   18   book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the    19    reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The    20   is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever    21   to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult    22   , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these    23   . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that    24   you to have read the book through once    25   .
What you understand by reading the book through to the   26   will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not    27    in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to    28   the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the  29  of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another    30   for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.
16. A. necessary              B. useful                    C. natural                  D. effective   
17. A. learning                  B. hoping                   C. accepting       D. expecting              
18. A. easy                 B. difficult                   C. important      D. correct                
19. A. ordinary           B. young                   C. serious                  D. sincere                
20. A. method           B. question       C. answer                 D. problem               
21. A. starting            B. hesitating       C. stopping       D . repeating 
22. A. words             B. articles        C. parts         D. points                 
23. A. quickly              B. immediately     C. clearly         D. carefully              
24.A. requires     B. causes                     C. advises                     D. allows             
25.A. later       B. after                      C. before                    D. again
