第6练　阅读理解＋写作 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Next Thursday is the World Book Day—a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages，with author events，school fancy－dress parades and a ￡1 book token (优惠券) given to all school children under 18. Sometimes，reading a modern novel can be tough (Booker Prize winner The Luminaries ran to 832 pages！)，especially if you lack confidence in your literacy skills.In fact，one in six people in the U．K.never pick up a book because they’ve experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure. But the Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels，which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time.They cover a range of subjects，from romance to comedy. You can read Jojo Moyes’s Paris for One，a romantic adventure in which 26－year－old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy，neglectful boyfriend.When he fails to turn up，she is alone in the city.That is until she meets Fabien，who shows her the charms of the French capital—in more ways than one. Meanwhile，Adele Geras’s moving story Out in the Dark was set in World War I，in which young Rob came back from the battlefields.Determined to find the officer’s widow to return the photo of her and their daughter that the captain kept with him，he traveled several thousand miles but never gave up. Dead Man Talking is a fantastic tale of Pat，who had a terrible fight with his best friend，Joe，ten years ago—but now hears that Joe is dead，and he must attend his funeral.But Joe is not going quietly that good night—he’s lying in his coffin being very chatty indeed. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇公告。下周四是世界图书日，届时会举办一些与图书日有关的活动。另外还介绍了几本畅销短篇小说，以供那些不想读晦涩难懂的书的读者们阅读。 1．What will happen on the World Book Day according to the poster?
