[2024·武邑中学期末]When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very____1___. Some stories are told____2___they were true. Real people who live in a____3___world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not____4___. They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be____5___for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only____6___. How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we
read about
Harry Potter, we____7___seem
to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than____8___. Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of____9___. When we read or write something, we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our___10__ —which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way—to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism
and
fantasy (幻想)___11__ the
imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When
we read___12___realistic, we have to imagine that the people we
are reading about are just like us, even though we___13___that
we are real and they are___14__. It sounds___15__， but it works. When we read，we fill in missing information and___16__ about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by___17__ that what we read is like real life. In a way, we
are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don't think about what is going on in
our___18__ when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose___19___in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next.
Knowing how we feel___20___we read can help us become better
readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of
books.
