Unit 1 A land of diversity导读：在娱乐和获取信息的方式多种多样的今天，我们还有必要阅读吗？书本会消失在人类历史发展的长河吗？Task: Why is it necessary for us to read? I have often pondered the mysteries of reading, but you don't realize the advantages until you actually began reading. Books can transport you to different places, worlds, times, people anywhere you can imagine without leaving your own room. Reading gives us some places to go when we have to stay where we are. Picking up a book is like picking up a world that is waiting to be explored whether fiction or fact. They can take your way from them in goldfield and make you a part of theirenvironment. They can scare the wits out of you, make you cry, make you laugh. The more pages you read, the harder it is to shut the book. I read because it is something that passes the time peacefully and alleviates ignorance. Reading for fun is normal. It improves a person's imagination, vocabulary and knowledge without the person even knowing it. 请根据语义及提示写出单词 1. The __________ of the students wish to __________ in computer at university.
