[简答题]Reading is a pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. {{U}}Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author’s or even goes be-yond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.{{/U}} {{U}}Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something; they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times.{{/U}} {{U}}Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be.

[单项选择]Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don’ t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings. For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, and uneven heat distribution. There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs. When it’ s time to replace old appliances, it’ s wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer. Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in cold wind, and choose double-paned (双层)windows if you’ re building an addition or replacing old windows. Most areas of your home or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do
A. Change your light bulbs.
B. Fix construction problems.
C. Replace your old appliances.
D. Check your heating system.
