If you’ve been paying any attention to the news over the last few years, most people seem toagree the act of reading is in decline. As enthusiastic readers and authors, Marc and I are madeuncomfortable by the statistics sometimes. But we’re36 for another reason. A readership catastrophe is really just a leadership 37 . In other words, for people whoknow how to respond 38 , any “disaster” is just another way of saying “there’s an opportunity for 39 here.”
We have been enthusiastic readers for decades. Most people think of us as writers, but we know the only way to be a good writer is to be a great 40 first. Reading has
41 us to learn and grow into the leadership roles via our blog, book and course. We’re not 42 either. We know very few leaders who are 43 in reading, regardlessof their industry or profession. And many of them read even more44 than we do. The biggest 45 that reading gives us, I think, is the fact that it’s one of the mostefficient ways to 46 new information, and, we all need a lot of everyday information to keep things in perspective and seize good opportunities. But reading does 47 just give us a new set of tools for thinking; it actually 48 all of our existing intellectual tools as well, especially our problem-solving and analytical abilities.
Speaking for myself, I know my reading habit has 49 my edge. I’m always 50 whenI’m working on a puzzling issue and some pieces of information comes to mind from somethingI’ve read that helps me 51 all the pieces. So with the 52 of reading in mind, it’s time to read or re-read our 12 most popular postsbased on the number of reader 53 from this past year. 54 you give them a chance, eachone of these quick reads has the power to change the way you think, live and love, so you canstay on track to living at your greatest 55 . 36. A. optimistic B. realistic C. artistic D. energetic
37. A. substitute B. opportunity C. requirement D. quality 38. A. ambiguously B. roughly C. positively D. regularly
39. A. improvement B. encouragement C. explanation D. application 40. A. leader B. learner C. player D. reader 41. A. forced B. urged C. pushed D. enabled 42. A. alone B. mistaken C. typical D. rigid
43. A. hardworking B. uninterested C. energetic D. aimless 44. A. surprisingly B. directly C. currentlyD. frequently
45. A. advantage B. challenge C. imagination D. convenience 46. A. spread B. preview C. acquire D. offer
47. A. other than B. rather thanC. less than D. more than 48. A. increases B. indicates C. betters D. replaces 49. A. weakened B. sharpened C. softened D. lightened 50. A. confused B. excited C. shocked D. disappointed 51. A. put away B. put back C. put togetherD. put off 52. A. importance B. lack C. problem D. wisdom
