THE WAY TO READ FAST
Perhaps you have been told about some habits（習慣） which stop a person reading fast、and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.
Do you still have any of these bad habits7 Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to
these questions:
1. Do you move your lips(嘴唇) when reading silently？
2. Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
3. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
4. Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.
If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.
If you move your head, place your chin（下巴）in one hand, and hold your head still(不動地，靜止地).
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(看一眼) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
小題1:You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading       
A．to hold a piece of paper between them
B．to stop yourself talking to others
C．to tell others to be silent
D．to feel whether y our lips move or not
小題2:When your eyes travel across the lines of words,        
A．you need to read the words out
B．you need to look at every word carefully
C．you need to read several words at a time
D．you need to remember every word

Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
Once inside, the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats, a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later, milking is complete. The gate is opened, the cow is released and the next cow enters.
The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still, she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot cost 175 000 dollars. The second cost 150 000.
Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
小題1:From the first paragraph, we can infer________.
A．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
B．cows can be raised by robots in the future
C．robots direct cows into milking stations
D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms
小題2:Besides milking cows, the robotic system also can ________.
A．a(chǎn)djust the temperature of milking stations
B．judge the quality of fresh milk
C．improve the appetite of cows
D．keep fresh milk for two weeks
小題3:Why is the robotic system not popular now?
A．Because young people have no interest in it.
B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
C．Because people can’t afford to buy it.
D．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
小題4:According to Doug, what is the wage of an employee?
A．150, 000-170, 000.B．750, 000.C．150, 000 -30, 000.D．30, 000- 32, 000
小題5:The best title for the passage may be_______.
A．Letting robot milk your cowB．Milking cows by hand
C．Improving the quality of milkD．Drinking fresh milk every day

Because of the change in the American public school system over the last several years, now many parents choose to home-school their children. There are many reasons behind this. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
For some parents, they have religious (宗教的) reasons for home-schooling. The public school system does not have religious teachings, so these parents want to put religion into the children’s daily school activities. This might include teaching religion-based courses rather than coursework that is taught in public schools.
For some parents, they do not feel that their local school system offers their children the best learning opportunities. So they want to take matters into their own hands. This may be because the local school has low educational standards (標準) or for some other reason the parents think it necessary to take their children out of the system. Sometimes the parents just feel the children will get a better education at home.
Some parents may not be rich enough to send their children to a private school, so the next best thing in their eyes is home-schooling. Thus they can teach their children what they like.
One should remember that the laws about home-schooling vary from state to state. In some states, the parents are required to hand in monthly attendance records (出席記錄) to their local school system. What’s more, most states require state testing at certain periods such as the CRCT.
小題1:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _______.   
A．a(chǎn)dvise parents to home-school their children
B．explain why some parents choose to home-school their children
C．tell us the advantages and disadvantages of home-schooling
D．praise home-schooling and private schools
小題2:Paragraph 3 tells us that some parents choose home-schooling because ______.
A．school teachers are not strict with their children
B．their children don’t do well in their studies at school
C．their children don’t like going to school
D．they are not satisfied with the school education
小題3:What does the underlined word “vary” in the last paragraph mean?
A．IncreaseB．ChangeC．SpreadD．Keep
小題4:How many reasons for home-schooling are mentioned in the passage?
A．2B．4 C．3D．5

The quest for success always begins with a target. As Berra once said , ＂you get to be very careful if you don＇t know where you＇re going, because you might not get there.＂
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, ＂What am I doing with my life?＂and they don＇t know what they＇re doing because they lack goals.
Goal-setting is a focus of the will to move in a certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write down your goals and date them---putting them into words clarifies them. Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your desires to do, to produce, to contribute to goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need.
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal. While losers visualize the penalties(不利) of failure, winners visualize the rewards of success. I’ve seen it among athletes, statistics contrasting air and highway safety, but it made no difference. I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly. I had programmed myself, without realizing it ,to stay off planes.
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort; I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation. So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing.
When the day arrived, I was eager to go . To everyone＇s surprise, I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it , and I still use the techniques I employed that day.
小題1:According to the passage, if you want to be successful ,the first thing for you to do is to         .
A．find the right methodsB．be careful about everything
C．know your abilityD．have a clear goal
小題2:The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that        .
A．he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel
B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal
C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
小題3:What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Defining Your GoalB．Visualizing Reward of Success
C．Overcoming the Fear of Air TravelD．Sleepwalking Through life

Every year in the first week of English class, some students inform me that writing is too hard. They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult.
How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance（增強）the moral and emotional development of my students.
One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.
Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in student confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing.
Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole students. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some say they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation（法規(guī)）, or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence（雄辯）and command of the language.
小題1:What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To encourage students to keep a journal every day.
B．To analyze students’ problems in learning languages.
C．To stress the importance of writing in language learning.
D．To introduce an effective way of improving students’ writing.
小題2:The underlined phrase “an enormous mansion” in Paragraph 2 refers to students’       .
A．writing opportunityB．large house
C．large vocabularyD．emotional life
小題3:In the author’s view, what can students benefit from the journal writing?
A．It is beneficial to students’ future career.
B．It can make students more emotional.
C．It is helpful to students’ homework.
D．It can enlarge students’ vocabulary.

My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork．
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president．”I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done．
Once in graduate school，I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard．His answer to me was． “That’s irrelevant（無關(guān)的）．What’s important is the quality of your work． ” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge（訣竅），and I have come to some conclusions—all relevant to the problem of how much time we have．
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the prob1em：There is, of course，the matter of “time”, which we call think of as fixed． Then there is the problem of “work” during that time． But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important．
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work．That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone s office: “Don't work harder． Work smarter．” There is a lot of sense in that idea．
If you can’t get more time，and few of US can，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work．That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get．That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits．Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits’ should be read as “study habits”．
Then, as a smart student，you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing． If you learn to read better and write better，there are big advantages that pay off in all your studies．
小題1:From the passage，we know that the author is probably      ．
A．a(chǎn) poetB．a(chǎn)n educatorC．a(chǎn) novelistD．a(chǎn)n engineer
小題2:We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still      ．
A．have enough timeB．can meet the president
C．get everything done wellD．should accept the explanation
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework．
B．The author tried to tell the professor that he／she（the author） had done a good job．
C．You can’t improve the quality of the work if you can’t get more time．
D．You’11 try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student．
小題4:What’s the passage mainly about?
A．Students don’t have enough time．B．Don’t work harder; work smarter．
C．No one can get more time．D．Read better and write better．

Much of the water we use comes from snow. Melting snow provides water for rivers, electric power centers and agricultural crops. In the western United States, mountain snow provides up to 75% of all surface water supplies.
Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from cold, winter weather. Fresh snow is made largely of air trapped among the snow crystals. Because the air has trouble moving, the movement of heat is greatly reduced.
Snow also is known to influence the movement of sound waves. When there is fresh snow on the ground, the surface of the snow takes in, or absorbs, sound waves. However, snow can become hard and flat as it becomes older or if there have been strong winds. Then the snow's surface will help to send back sound waves. Under these conditions, sounds may seem clearer and travel farther.
Generally, the color of snow and ice appears white. This is because the light we see from the sun is white. Most natural materials take in some sunlight. This gives them their color. However, when light travels from air to snow, some light is sent back, or reflected. Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight. Yet the snow does take in a little sunlight. It is this light that gives snow its white appearance.
Sometimes, snow or ice may appear to be blue. The blue light is the product of a long travel path through the snow or ice. In simple terms, think of snow or ice as a filter. A filter is designed to reject some substances, while permitting others to pass through. In the case of snow, all the light makes it through if the snow is only a centimeter thick. If it is a meter or more thick, however, blue light often can be seen.
小題1:How many functions of snow are discussed in the passage?
A．OneB．TwoC．ThreeD．Four
小題2:Why does snowfall help to protect plants from cold?
A．Because snow crystals contain heat.
B．Because snow crystals have air in them.
C．Because snow crystals are easy to blow away.
D．Because snow crystals send out heat when melting.
小題3:It can be inferred that ______.
A．hard snow is better in protecting wild animals than fresh snow
B．fresh snow is better in sending sound waves than hard snow
C．fresh snow is better in taking in sound waves than hard snow
D．hard snow provides less water than fresh snow
小題4:The color of snow and ice appears white because snow crystals________.
A．send back none of the sunlightB．send back all of the sunlight
C．take in most of the sunlightD．take in some of the sunlight

LG Electronics, the world’s fourth largest cell phone producer, has added another feature to the mobile phone-reading books for the visually impaired(弱視). The company started marketing the model, the LF1300 on Sep.18.No other people but the blind and visually-impaired with a certificate(證書) can buy the talking phone at sales shops of LG Electronics.
“The LF1300 is the world’s first mobile phone that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them．This is not about making money but about continuing to put froth efforts to reduce the digital difference for the disabled,” LG Vice President said.
Its users can download about 300 audio books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their phones for free in two ways. One is to access the digital library’s Website on a computer designed for the blind to get the audio books and transfer them to cell phones. The other is to download the digital books directly with cell phones through the wireless net work by touching a hot key on the LF1300 phone.
On top of its unique feature of reading books, the LF1300 is no worse than the pupular top-line phones in both outlooks and frnctionalities(功能性). The phone is armed with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset, enabling users to listen to the music or talk without a cord. The user interface（界面) of the LF1300 is also designed for the blind,enabling phone users to control it through a voice guidance system.
However, because the phone’s internal mimory of 17MB is small even for a single audio book file, which takes up 80MB on average, a high-volume external memory is a must for the talking book services.
小題1:          are allowed to buy the talking phone.
A．Disabled people with a certificate
B．All the blind and poor-sighted people
C．The blind and poor-sighted with a certificate
D．Both healthy and disabled citizens
小題2:The users can enjoy reading books on LF1300 by         .
A．talking to the microphoneB．touching any key
C．touching its screen D．touching the hot key
小題3:What can be learned from the passage?
A．This is the first time LG company has done something for the disabled.
B．Phone users don’t have to pay much to download the digital books.
C．LF1300 has a less attractive outlook than any other top-line phone.
D．The disadvantage of LF1300 is that it has too small internal memory.
小題4:The best title of the passage might be         .
A．A New Type of Cell Phone is on the Market
B．Mobile Phones Can Read Books for the Print-Disabled
C．The Disabled will Benefit from Cell Phone Producers
D．Advanced Technology Helps the Blind Read Books
