Have you ever started a book, read a few pages, and found that it wasn't interesting at all? If you have, you may be faced with a difficult situation: should you keep going with the book or put it down and find something else?
Some people say you should go on reading the book you've started. Some of the best books are full of difficult words with lots of characters and different storylines. It's better to keep reading, because it is an important skill to keep going and get to the end. Besides, if you stop reading halfway through, how will you know how everything turns out for the characters? There is another advantage(优势). The book might suddenly become really interesting, and there might even be a surprise change. All in all, giving up is easy, but trying to finish a difficult book is a good skill to have.
▲ Cressida Cowell, a famous writer, says it's OK to stop reading a book you don't like. She says young readers should read books they enjoy. There are lots of wonderful books waiting to be read in libraries and bookshops, so spending hours and days trying hard to read an uninteresting story is meaningless. Nobody would choose to sit through a boring TV show. Giving up and trying a different book is the same as picking something else to watch on TV. Also, it's important to enjoy reading and not think of it as a chore.
If you ask me, I don't think you should give up after Page One. I advise you to read about 20 pages and then you can stop reading if you really don't like the characters or can't easily jump into their world. Sometimes you're just not in a place for a book, and it's OK to put it aside and visit it again later. A book you're not loving today could be your favourite in a few years.

解析
【分析】
1. 第21题：这是段落大意题，解题时先定位段落核心句，第二段开头“Some people say you should go on reading the book you've started.”点明段落核心，后续内容围绕“继续读这本书的好处”展开，比如锻炼坚持的能力、了解故事结局、可能后续内容变有趣等，因此要选择对应“继续读书的优势”的选项。
2. 第22题：这是补全文章题，需分析上下文逻辑。第二段提出“要继续读无趣的书”的观点，第三段转而提出“可以停止读不喜欢的书”的相反观点，因此需要一个能衔接两种对立观点的转折句，说明并非所有人都认同前文观点。
3. 第23题：这是推理判断题，要结合段落论点分析例子的作用。第三段的核心论点是“可以停止读无趣的书”，用“没人会看无聊的电视节目”类比，是为了佐证“放弃无趣的书是合理的”这一观点。
4. 第24题：这是细节理解题，直接在原文中定位作者的建议，找到对应语句即可得出答案。
5. 第25题：这是篇章结构题，梳理段落逻辑：第一段提出“遇到无趣的书该怎么办”的问题，总领全文；第二、三、四段分别阐述“应该继续读”“可以停止读”“作者的折中建议”三个分观点，属于总分结构，对应选项A的结构。
