As a child, I was quite active. I was running around and getting hurt almost every day. My mom was ____1____. A neighbor advised me to learn to fish. I liked the ____2____, but my mom said no. She thought it was ____3____ to get close to any body of water.

At last, my mom got another idea. Every day, she made me sit at the desk and ____4____ for an hour. I hated reading and cried a lot. Then, my ____5____, a school teacher, came to help. He led me to my desk and told me to ____6____ one book. “Read just twenty pages. If you still feel bored after that, just put it down and choose another one,” he said.

I started with The Emperor’s New Clothes. After I read twenty ____7____ as my uncle suggested, I was rolling (打滚) on the floor laughing. What a stupid emperor! Next, I read more books. As time went on, I was able to ____8____ understand the stories. So I started reading longer and more serious books. I fell in love with Journey to the West. My mom said I should spend more time playing outside. But I didn’t want to ____9____ the book.

To this day, I make time to read every day. If you haven’t yet experienced the fun of reading, take my uncle’s advice and find the “____10____” books. They’ll give you enjoyment, teach you something new and even change your life.
