Reading is an activity people enjoy a lot in their free time.

    Some like reading newspapers and o    1       enjoy novels or comic(喜剧的)books. My f    2     books are those about the lives of great people. Reading them always gives me a lot of ideas on how to make my o   3     life better.

    Great people are remembered not because they were handsome or beautiful , but because they did not give up w   4     their lives were difficult .They tried to use e   5     chance to change their lives and make

the world better.

One good example is Orville and Wilbur Wright, the two brothers w   6     invented the airplane. The plane has m   7     the world into a small village. Hard work , not good luck , is the r    8    why the Wright

Brothers could invent this convenient(方便的) machine and become great people. Today we will

remember them when we see planes i   9     the sky.

    Whenever I read s  10   about great people, I always learn a lot from them and they encourage me to

march on.

This is why I enjoy reading about great people's lives.
