She had never developed any habit of classic deep reading with two eyes in front of paper, and nothing else going on. When I faced this truth, it felt like a parenting failure. Even though wed read many storybooks when she was younger and we lived in a house stuffed with books, I hadnt managed to instill (灌输) one of lifes fundamental pleasures in my kid.As a lifelong reader, I understand how reading enhances the fabric of our experience. Yet my daughter claimed to dislike reading. I told her reading novels was the best way to learn about how peoples insides work. She said she could learn more from the people on social media, who were all about spilling their insides. I said books offered storytelling. She said, “Smartphones.” I said books taught history. She said, “The Internet.”I could not win our debates, because few of my daughters arguments against reading seemed wrong to me. Yes, reading is a way to discover new worlds so is the entire Internet. But thats not why I wanted my daughter to pick up a book. It was about experiencing a certain magic. You know when an author describes a feeling you didnt have, and a hundred lightbulbs go off on the top of your head? I wanted her to have a chance at feeling that. A screen-based medium cant create this kind of relationship because, by its nature, the medium must fill in all the blanks for you. Books leave space for blanks and for the internal invention they can inspire.So I decided to cut through all the reasoning with a cold, hard practicality: cash. I told my11-year-old I would pay her $100 to read a novel within a month. Of course, she said yes. She finished the book in seven days. Then she even asked for the sequel (续集) at no extra charge. Will this lead to her reading Little Women? Will it result in a lifelong habit of reading? I dont know. What I do know is that I finally opened a new door for her to the printed page. That feels like the best money I ever spent.4. What does the “parenting failure” in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Failure to get along well with her daughter.B. Failure to meet her daughters emotional needs.C. Failure to develop a reading habit in her daughter.D. Failure to provide enough storybooks in the house.5. Why does the author want her daughter to read books?A. To help her discover new worlds.B. To help her fill in all the blanks.C
