If we are to help students develop reading skills in a foreign language, it is important to understand what is involved in the reading process itself. If we have a clear idea of how “good readers” read, either in their own or a foreign language, this will enable us to decide whether particular reading techniques are likely to help learners or not.
In considering the reading process, it is important to distinguish between two quite separate activities: reading for meaning (or “silent reading”) and reading aloud. Reading for meaning is the activity we normally engage in when we read books, newspapers, road signs, etc.; it is what you are doing as you read this text. It involves looking at sentences and understanding the message they convey, in other words “making sense” of a written text. It doesn’t normally involve saying the words we read, not even silently inside our heads; there are important reasons for this, which are outlined below.
Reading aloud is a completely different activity; its purpose is not just to understand a text but to convey the information to someone else. It is not an activity we engage in very often outside the classroom; common examples are reading out parts of a newspaper article to a friend, or reading a notice to other people who can’t see it. Obviously, reading aloud involves looking at a text, understanding it and also saying it. Because our attention is divided between reading and speaking, it is a much more difficult activity than reading silently; we often stumble and make mistakes when reading aloud in our own language, and reading aloud in a foreign language is even more difficult.
When we read for meaning, we do not need to read every letter or every word, nor even every word in each sentence. This is because, provided the text makes sense, we can guess much of what it says as we read it.

A. reading skills B. silent reading
C. reading processes D. reading aloud
2.The underlined word “stumble” in Paragraph 3 means ____________.
A. step over something and fall
B. repeat something or pause for too long
C. walk with heavy movements
D. speak in a fluent and confident way
3. We can infer from the passage that the author will continue to ____________.
A. discuss in detail how to read aloud
B. introduce some more reading activities
C. tell how good readers read in their own language
D. explain why we needn’t say the words when reading for meaning
4. We can conclude that ____________.
A. reading silently is easier than reading aloud
B. to understand a sentence, you have to read all the words in it
C. silent reading involves looking at a text and saying the words silently to yourself
D. there’s no difference between reading in one’s own language and in a foreign one

We do some strange things when we don’t like the way our life is going.Too often we blame(責(zé)怪)someone else.‘‘I wish my parents were more understanding.”
“I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!”
“My friends are so boring and self-centered.They make my life worse and worse.’’
Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song,but the truth is,if you don’t like your life,you should do something about it.No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need.No one can read your mind correctly.You are the only one with the power to check your life,and if you want it to be different,you can change what you’re doing.
When you’re in trouble,don’t give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself. Choose how you want to think and act.Other people can’t make you unhappy or angry.They only act in their own way and then it’s up to you to decide how you will respond(回應(yīng)).For example,your friends go out to lunch without you and you feel very angry.How are you going to act? You may blame your friends,“They are not kind.Who needs them anyway?” Or you may tell your friends how you feel,listen to their explanation,and let them know you’d like to be invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way,you’re getting hold of your own life and shaping(塑造)it according to your tastes and feelings.You can choose to be happy,to make friends and to build an interesting life.When you blame others for what is or isn’t happening in your life,you have stopped growing or learning.
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct action.The only person you have the right to change is yourself.Once you change,the other person has something different to respond to and change is possible.If you want change in your life,begin with yourself.
