请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后个题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Starting a new book is a risk, just like falling in love. You have to __36__ to it. You open the pages knowing a little bit about it, maybe from the back or from a blurb（宣传信息）on the front. But who __37__, right? Those bits and pieces aren’t always right.

Sometimes people __38__ themselves as one thing and then when you get deep into it you realize that they’re something completely different. Either there was some good marketing __39__ to a terrible book, or the story was only explained in a(n) __40__ way and once you reach the middle of the book, you realize there’s so much more to this book than anyone could ever have told you.

You start off slow. The story is beginning to __41__. You’re unsure. It’s a big commitment reading this tome(巨著). Maybe this book won’t be that great but you’ll feel __42__ about putting it down. Maybe it’ll be so awful you’ll set it down immediately and never pick it up again. Or maybe you’ll come back to it some night, drunk or lonely—needing something to __43__ the time, but it won’t be any better than it was when you first started reading it.

Maybe you’re __44__. You’ve read tons of books before. Maybe you’ve taken some time off from reading because the last few books you read just weren’t __45__ it.

Or something __46__ could happen. Maybe this will become your new favorite book. There’s always a possibility, right? That’s the __47__ of risk. You __48__ your time and your brain power in the words and what you get back is a new understanding and pure wonder.

How could someone possibly know you like this? Some stranger, some author, some character. It’s like they’re seeing inside your __49__. This book existed inside some book store, on a shelf, maybe handled by other people and really it was just __50__ for you to pick it up. It was waiting to speak to you. To say, “You are not __51__.”

You just want more of the story. You want to keep reading, maybe everything this author has ever __52__. You wish it would never end. The closer it gets to the smaller side of the pages, the __53__ you read, wanting to savor(品味) it all. This book is now one of your favorites forever. You will always wish you could go back to __54__ having read it and pick it up fresh again, but also you know you’re better for having this close, inside you, __55__ your heart and mind.

Reading a book is just like falling in love. Once you get in deep enough, you know you could never put this book down.
