Day5
阅读下面的材料，并根据材料选择正确的答案。
Goodreads is a free website for you! Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone’s bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings (评分). You can also post your own reviews and catalog what you have read, are currently (目前) reading, and plan to read in the future. Don’t stop there – join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author and even post your own writing.
Sign Up
Signing up is simple – you just enter your name, email, and a password.
How to Start
To start using Goodreads you should select books that you have read, that you are reading or that you want to read and add them to “your books”. You can do this by searching for books (our catalogue already has most books), by looking at your friends’ lists or by entering a book we don’t have yet.
Shelves
You start with three default (默认的) shelves (read, currently-reading, and to-read), but you can also create your own bookshelves. Shelf names range from classics and coffee-table-books to children’s-lit (儿童文学) and sci-fi (科幻小说) – you can create any category that suits your personal taste.
Add Your Books
To add books to your shelves, search by author name or book title. When you find the book you want, you can either click on one of the five stars to rate the book immediately, or click on “add to my books” to choose a shelf, write a review, record the date your read the book and even note whether you own a copy.
Finding Book Recommendations (推荐)
Our mission (任务) is to help you find new and interesting books by letting you see what your friends are reading. Whenever you view a book, we always show your friends’ reviews first. When you log in, the homepage shows all the latest reviews from your friends. You can also compare your book list to that of another Goodreads member to see if you share the same taste! Click the “explore” tab to browse (浏览) our top shelves and find popular books (among your friends or all of Goodreads).
Join or Start a Discussion Group
Groups are the perfect way to bring people together to discuss literature. Some groups are just for close friends or local book clubs; others are for organizations such as literary magazines, university alumni (校友) or just about any other group conceivable (想得到的).
