Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework? You might wish that you could read faster. 1. But experts have dismissed(駁回）this announcement.

"Speed reading is not actually possible," said Elisabeth Schotter, a scientist at the University of South Florida, US. Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books.

In fact, speed reading has been advertised (做廣告）since 1959, when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program. Several US presidents have event asked their staff to take speed reading courses, 2.

Schotter explained that reading is a complicated(復(fù)雜的）process. It includes four stages: seeing a word, searching its meaning from your memory, connecting it with other words in the same sentence, and then moving on to the next word. 3. It can't be sped up. Some people who are able to speed read are simply skimming(略讀）4. Skimmers can find out the main idea of a passage. But they will not be able to recall all of the information.

5. Research suggests that you should try to improve your vocabulary and simply read more. Then you can improve your reading speed.

閱讀文章并根據(jù)上下文用下面適當(dāng)選項補全短文。

A.This process uses many parts of the-brain at one time.

B.Skimming needs to read a passage quickly and only look for certain words or sentences.

C.There are some people who announce that, you can learn to read at super-high speeds.

D.So is there a way to become a faster reader?

E.However, the staff found that there is no real science behind speed reading.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，按要求完成下列各題。

It is a big job to take away a city’s rubbish. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we can’t eat or use. If we kept these things, we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.

In most cities, the rubbish is collected and taken outside of cities to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into the sewage system (污水系統(tǒng)). The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.

To keep mice and flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish?filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then you’d never know that this was once an old rubbish dump.

In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. The fire burns everything but the metal. Sometimes the metal can be used again in factories where things are made of metal. The food parts of rubbish are put in special piles where they slowly change into something called humus (腐殖質(zhì)), which looks like black earth. It is rich with the kinds of things that feed plants and help make them grow.
