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.
What can we learn from the story? Write down your ideas.

答案
We should do things step by step. We can't learn difficult and heavy content well if we don't start from easy basic things at first. We shouldn't look down on those simple basic things, because they are the necessary foundation for us to improve our ability gradually.
解析
这是一道开放性阅读理解表达题，我们可以先梳理故事的完整逻辑：内容厚重的大书最初看不起以图画为主、内容简单的低幼绘本，将它们赶出书店放到仓库，以为这样就不会被孩子撕坏、弄脏书页。但多年后，从小没有接触过任何读物的孩子长大成为成年人后，完全没有阅读基础，根本无法对内容厚重的大书产生兴趣，书店接连倒闭，大书才意识到错误，主动请回低幼绘本，让孩子从简单的读物起步，逐步培养阅读习惯。这个故事告诉我们，无论是阅读还是能力提升，都要循序渐进，从基础的简单内容起步慢慢积累，不能好高骛远，轻视基础内容。
