Reading has been on the decline for years. One of the reasons for the decline in book sales is the leaps and bounds in technology. Why do you buy a book when you can conveniently buy audio books(有声读物)instead? Here are 4 of the best audio books you can find.
The Power of Now
Published in 2000, The Power of Now explains a journey-a journey that encourages you to dismiss your analytical mind and set aside yourself as well. The author, Eckhart Tolle, guides you through these transitions with easy words and phrases. The purpose of this book is to help you pay more attention to the current moment - the "now".
The Alchemist (练金术士)
It talks about the journey of a boy named Santiago who travels from Spain to Egypt in search of riches. Along the way, he meets three characters, a woman, a man who thinks that he's a king, and the alchemist. These characters help guide Santiago to his goal, but over time that goal changes. It moves away from worldly riches to something deeper and more meaningful.
The Power of Habit
Written by Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit talks all about the power behind habits using various cases and plots to present Duhigg's points. In the book, Duhigg turns complex systems and methods into easily digestible stories that people and businesses can relate to.
Outliers
Written by Malcolm Gladwell, this book has popularized the idea that practicing 10,000 hours in total will make you an expert in that area. It also covers other aspects about what many of today's great people do in their daily life and how they have become successful in their own field.
（1）What does the underlined phrase "the leaps and bounds" mean?
A.Small change.
B.Fast development.
C.Sudden decline.
D.Convenient purchase.
（2）What can we infer from the text?
A.The Power of Now is to help people forget the past.
B.Santiago has just one goal on his way to Egypt.
C.Charles Duhigg believes habits are powerful.
D.Outliers tells us experts all practice 10,000 hours.
（3）Which books are probably easy to read?
A.The Power of Now & The Alchemist.
B.The Power of Now & The Power of Habit.
C.Outliers & The Power of Habit.
D.The Alchemist & Outliers.

    There are lots of experience in our life. The most unforgettable one for me is the speech competition holding last year. I'm interested in English. When my English teacher told me that I had chosen to take part in the speech competition, I devoted me to the preparation. I was determined to win the first prize. I was such nervous when I stood on the stage that I forgot everything. Not until I caught a sight of my teacher did I calm down. Finally, I do a good job. When I heard I got the first prize, my heart was filled in joy and tears rolled down. Through this speech competition, I understand that it is confidence which makes people succeeded.
