Starting a book club is easy— all you need is to love reading. Here’s how to get yours off to a flying start. When you set up your club, the first thing is to get members for your club. They could be friends, family or those you know through kinds of activities, but they should all love to read. A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club. Too many people make the discussions difficult.

Once you have a group, agree on how often you want to meet—-usually club members meet monthly. Pick a date and stick with it. That way, members can plan for it. Send out emails a week before the meeting to remind(提醒) them of the meeting time. Set meeting time length. An hour is a good start. Two hours usually does the trick.

Then, you need a good place. Libraries, parks and restaurants— all the public(公共的) places can be meeting places. For many clubs, meeting at home works best because you don’t have to get dressed up, and homes are quiet. If members bring a plate of food or a bottle, it can help start conversation(谈话).

Please don’t forget the most important thing— the book! Think about the books your club will enjoy. Your club can decide on books in different ways. Anyway, make sure to keep it light and fun.

After you decide all this, your book club is ready. Now, it’s time to hold the first meeting. Enjoy your reading.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何开始一个自己的读书俱乐部。包括寻找热爱阅读的会员，安排阅读会时间，决定阅读会的地点和选择好书籍。

1.根据第一段第一句“Starting a book club is easy...”可知本文是教读者如何“开始或建立”一个读书俱乐部，故填start/built。

2.根据第一段第三句“When you set up your club, the first thing is to get members for your club.”可知成立读书俱乐部首先要“找到”会员。注意填表格时要保持所填内容和表格中其他内容格式相一致，所以此处要填get或find的动名词形式且注意句首大写，故填Getting/Finding。

3.根据第一段第四句“... but they should all love to read.”可知我们要找的会员是热爱“阅读”的人，故填reading。

4.根据第一段第五句“A small group of seven to ten people is usually an ideal size for a book club.”可知7到10人的小组是最理想的“size 大小”，故填size。

5.根据第二段第四句“Send out emails a week before the meeting to remind(提醒) them of the meeting time.”可知在阅读会一周前要发“email 邮件”提醒大家参加会议，表格中email前有冠词an，所以用单数形式即可，故填email。

6.根据第二段倒数第三句“Set meeting time length.”可知阅读会要设定时长。how long多长时间，故填long。

7.根据第三段第一句“Then, you need a good place.”可知阅读会还要找好地方。表示地点用疑问副词where，故填where。

8.根据第三段第二句“Libraries, parks and restaurants—all the public(公共的) places can be meeting places.”可知图书馆，公园和餐馆都可以，作者总结它们都是“public places 公共场所”，故填public。

9.根据第三段第三句“For many clubs, meeting at home works best...”可知在家开阅读会是“best 最好的”，但是题干中有than，要用“best”的比较级形式“better”，即在家开会比其他地方都好，故填better。

10.根据第四段倒数第二句“Your club can decide on books in different ways.”可知俱乐部选书的“way 方式”可以是多样的，此处可以特指选书的某一种方式，也可以指选书的多种方式，所以可以用way也可以用ways，故填way(s)。
