15．You love reading，but you've read all your books four times，and are tired of reading the same ones．You're planning to go to the library，but don't know what kind of books to get．With the right knowledge，it's easy to choose a good book!
Answer these questions first．What authors do you like？Research books by the authors you've enjoyed，and you can get more of the same type of books．What are your interests？Type your hobbies into your library catalog search．By doing this，you will find books that you might like．Is there a type of book you would like to try？If there is，search the book and read the summary．This will help you decide if the book is right for you．
Search your house next．
Often good books are quietly collecting dust in your own house．Maybe you forget about one，or someone who is living with you has a couple of good books．Also by searching your house，you can find some books that you can read，and they won't even cost you any money．
Then，ask someone to recommend a good book．You can ask your older brother or sister，your mom，your dad，your best friend，or even your English teacher．Local bookstores often have wonderful recommendations．And when they get to know you，it's even better!You should ask people who like the same type of books，so that you can get books that match your need．
Join a book club，please．Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members．Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you，and you can read books that others have read and discuss them．
Finally，read the first part of each book．Of course，if you have many books，this can be time-consuming．Reading the first part of a book can help you know what books and types of books that you like，and you won't have a hard time looking for books again．

分析 本文作者主要为我们介绍了几个如何选择一本好书的方法：首先要结合自己的兴趣，然后才能找到你所需要的书；接下来就是搜搜你的房子，看有没有你曾经忘记在某个角落里的尘封的好书，这样还可以省钱；然后要你的亲朋好友给你推荐一本好书，从而容易找到你所需要的书；还有加入一个读书俱乐部，这样就可以和其它成员互相讨论看过的书；最后读每本书的第一部分，阅读一本书的第一部分可以帮助你知道什么类型的书是你喜欢的．
解答 38、C 主旨大意题 根据第一段With the right knowledge，it's easy to choose a good book!及联系下文可知本文主要介绍了选择一本好书的几种方法，即主旨大意为帮助我们选择一本好书．故选C
39、B 语句理解题 根据对这句话的字面理解Often good books are quietly collecting dust in your own house指"通常好的书都在你自己的房子里静静地收集灰尘"，联系后句Maybe you forget about one可知这是你可能都已经忘记的书，所以推知此句的意思即为长时间都没有碰触的书．故选B
40、D 细节理解题 根据倒数第二段Being a book club member is often a way to experience new books with other members．Joining a book club or setting up a book club helps you know who else likes the same books as you，and you can read books that others have read and discuss them．可知加入读书俱乐部可以与其他成员一起体验新书，故A对；还可以知道谁喜欢和你一样的书，故B符合文章内容；还可以阅读和讨论别人读过的书，故C符合文章内容；只有D帮助你结交越来越多的亲密朋友文章中没有提到．故选D
41、C 词义猜测题 根据前句的条件状语此句if you have many books表假设，如果你有很多书，推出看起来应该是会花好多时间，所以作者才建议只读书的第一部分就好了．故选C
