I read a great novel last week. It tells a story of a man called Gulliver. He loved travelling and one day he went on a long sea trip.
Unluckily, there was a strong storm. His ship broke into pieces, and he was washed to a small island. When he woke up, he found he couldn’t move at all. He was tied to the ground with thin ropes.
Soon he saw very small people walking on his body. They were tiny but brave. They climbed up his arms and legs. Gulliver was surprised and tried to break free. But the small men shouted loudly and some used small arrows.
Gulliver had to keep still. Later, the small men brought him food and drinks. They took him to their king. Gulliver learned to communicate with them and made friends with the king.

Reading is a much-loved hobby all over the world, but people in different countries have their own special reading habits.
In China, most students spend their free time reading novels, storybooks, and textbooks. They often read quietly in libraries or bookstores, while many others enjoy reading on mobile phone apps. Most students read either for better schoolwork or just for fun after finishing their homework.
In the UK, many families have home libraries with all kinds of books. Children begin reading at a very young age, and joining book clubs is very popular. Members get together to discuss a book, share their ideas, and talk about their favourite parts. British people still prefer paper books to e-books in their daily life.
In Australia, every school has a special "reading time" each day. Students can choose any book they are interested in. Teachers advise them to keep reading for at least 20 minutes every day. Many schools also hold reading competitions to encourage students to read more and fall in love with books.
No matter which country you are from, reading can open your eyes to the outside world and improve your thinking. It also helps you understand different cultures and different ways of life.

Dorothy lived in the middle of the Kansas plains with her uncle Henry and aunt Em. Their small house was simple and had only one room. There were no trees or flowers around, just a long, grey plain.
One day, the sky turned dark. A strong cyclone was coming. The wind blew loudly, and the house began to shake. Uncle Henry and aunt Em quickly climbed into the small cellar under the house. But Dorothy was too slow. She held her little dog Toto tightly and stood in the room.
Suddenly, the house was lifted up by the wind. It flew high, high above the ground. Dorothy felt as if she was going on a ride. She was not very afraid, but she held on to Toto and waited. Hours later, the house fell down softly with a gentle shake.

阅读下面短文，然后回答问题。（答案不超过10个单词）
Books are our best friends in life. We can read novels, magazines, history books and science books in our free time. However, with so many books around us, it is not easy to pick out really good ones. Here is some advice on how to choose a right and great book for yourself.
First, choose books based on your own interest. If you are curious about nature and animals, books about the natural world are suitable for you. If you enjoy moving stories, classic novels will be a wise choice. Reading what you truly like makes the reading time relaxing and enjoyable.
Second, pay attention to the difficulty level. A good book should be neither too hard nor too easy for you. Books that are too difficult may make you feel worried and give up easily, while easy ones cannot help you learn new things or make progress.
Third, choose books with great ideas and excellent language. Such books can bring you new knowledge, improve your vocabulary and teach you how to think in a better way. They have a deep influence on your study and personality.
Fourth, turn to others for help. You can ask your parents, teachers or friends for good book suggestions. You can also read book reviews online to know more about a book before deciding to read it.
A good book can enrich our mind and make our life more wonderful.
1. What makes choosing good books hard
2. What kind of books is good for nature lovers
