As I write this, I have half an eye on an old James Bond film that is showing on my computer. But this is a story about how I stopped watching TV and began reading again for pleasure, after ten years in which I hardly turned a page.
I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy's imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激进的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn't know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深奥的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn't seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren't at all interested in philosophy. I didn't stop reading, you can't avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手册) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (电路板) inside my computer. It's on a desk in front of a working chair and I can't see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it's nice to have it on while I'm typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I'm reading about six at the same time. I don't want to be any of the characters. I don't care if a thousand people have already read them. I don't have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they've been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.

科目：高中英语 来源： 题型：阅读理解
One parent wrote to me explaining that her 15-year-old son "lost himself in the hole of the computer. He got an A in Website design, but his other grades were sinking," she said.
This boy is making a mistake. High school and college offer you the best chance to learn broadly-math, history, various sciences-and to do projects with other kids that teach you first-hand about group dynamics (群体力量). It's fine to take a deep interest in computers, dance, language or any other discipline, but not if it affects the breadth (广度) of study.
I think kids sometimes trap themselves within a narrow identity. I wonder if they've just decided, "OK, I'm the person who's good at accounting."
A friend asks, "Hey, what have you been reading?"
"Well, I'm reading about accounting. "
It's just their sort of self-definition, and it's probably comfortable for them. But it's unfortunate if it comes at the sacrifice of learning about the broader world. I'm as impressed as the next person is when an 11-year-old boy can do calculus and is
learning to think logically(逻辑). But a kid who is reading about Robinson Crusoe, however, is thinking logically, too. It's not completely different.
Choosing a specialty isn't something high school students should worry about. They should worry about getting a strong academic(学术的) start. There's not a perfect correlation(相互关联)between attitudes in high school and success in later life, of course.
But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects, to learn to work with people in high school, and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college.
6. What was NOT true about the boy?
A. The boy fell into a hole and sank down.
B. The boy spent too much time on computers.
C. The boy did very well with his Website design.
D. The boy was not getting on well with his study.
7. What mistake was the boy making?
A. The boy didn't listen to his mother's advice.
B. The boy took a deep interest in computers.
C. The boy didn't realize the importance of developing himself in an all-round way.
D. The boy dropped out of school.
8. The writer thinks that ________ .
A. a person who is good at accounting is not worth praising
B. a person who is good at accounting is very clever
C. a person should not decide his specialty at an early age
D. a person should set a clear goal for his future
9. We learned from the text that the writer ________ .
A. encouraged kids to learn as much as possible
B. encouraged kids not to spend too much time on computers
C. encouraged kids not to learn accounting
D. encouraged kids to decide themselves what they would do in future
10. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? The writer thinks that it is ________ .
A. impressive for an 11-year-old boy to be able to do calculus
B. important to have a definite goal at school
C. impressive for a boy to think logically
D. a mistake not to make full use of time at school
