【读一读，想一想】
The baby books were sad. The big books were laughing at them. “You can hardly call yourselves books. You have almost no words and are filled with nothing but pictures!” said one book that had lots of pages written in tiny letters. “We won’t let them put you next to us on the shelf!”
So the poor baby books were not even given a little corner in bookshops. They ended up in warehouses（仓库）.
The big books were so happy. Only adults（成年人）would come into bookshops because there was nothing interesting for those naughty children to read. The books were no longer afraid that their pages would be torn out or dirtied（弄脏）.
Years passed and all those children who hadn’t ever visited a bookshop eventually（最终）became adults themselves.
“Now they can come in and admire our wisdom,” thought the big books.
But no. The adults who had grown up without baby books had no interest in the big books. How were they going to read so many pages all at once if they had never read anything?
The big books were sad. Bookshops were closing down one after another. Nobody was reading! The big books read and read millions of their own pages. They discovered（发现）that there was only one solution（解决办法）: They had to say sorry to the baby books and get them to come back. After realizing this, they carried out the plan immediately（立刻）.
That’s how the big books saved themselves. Children must read little by little so that they will grow up to be adults who love big books.

答案
We can learn that we need to do everything step by step. It's necessary for children to start reading from easy baby books to build reading interests little by little, so that they will become adults who love reading thick and meaningful books. Also, we should never look down on those simple basic things, because they have their own irreplaceable value. (答案不唯一，符合故事主旨、表意通顺合理即可)
解析
这是一道开放性阅读理解问答题，先梳理故事脉络：内容厚重的大书一开始嘲笑、排挤只有图片、内容简单的幼儿启蒙绘本，导致孩子们从小没有合适的读物培养阅读兴趣，等这些孩子长大之后，完全没有阅读基础，根本对内容厚重的大书提不起兴趣，最后书店接连倒闭，大书才意识到自己的错误。我们可以从多个角度提炼故事的启示：一是做事情要循序渐进，阅读习惯的培养需要从简单的启蒙读物开始，一点点积累，才能慢慢爱上深度阅读；二是不要轻视任何看起来简单普通的事物，基础的东西往往有着不可替代的重要作用；三是不能随意贬低他人的价值，每个事物都有自己存在的独特意义。
