Franz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax (斧子) for the frozen sea inside us. ”I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didn’t seem to require any explanation.
We’d just finished John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is I’ve read it many times.”
But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the tragedy is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, I’ve taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods. They understand, more than I ever will, the novel’s terrible logic—the giving way of dreams to fate (命運).
For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my headmaster after learning that a former excellent student of mine had transferred out of a selective high school—one that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattan’s upper classes—into a less competitive setting. The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. Ds.
Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didn’t always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, “it’s about being a man, it’s about manliness.”I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeth’s soliloquies (獨白) read as raps (說唱), but both made sense; The interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbeck’s writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate each other, and they’re all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.
Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充實) the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse. We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.

Whatever we may need to buy,we can use our credit cards.This is a change from the older days when we had to first check whether cards were accepted.Today,everybody, from retailers(零售商) to lenders,accepts credit cards.Attitudes towards credit cards have also changed a lot.People used to be
very careful of using their cards;but this is no longer the case. People today prefer to take out their cards as soon as they get to the cash counter.A swipe (刷卡) and a sign are all it takes,and you can walk home with the bill and all the things you buy.
The credit card is much easier to carry than cash and it is not at all surprising that the former becomes the most preferred way of payment.A credit card takes up very little space in our wallets,and yet,it holds the power of a large sum of cash.Paying by credit cards is also a good way of keeping bills on where all of our money goes.
Moreover,it has become much easier to get credit cards these days.I constantly have cold callers calling up to offer me “great new credit card deals”.Salesmen occasionally walk into our office offering discounts if a group of people decide to sign up a certain kind of credit card plan at the same time.However,this can also cause a problem.Nowadays,we always run the
risk of getting some kinds of wastes.When the terms seem too good to be true,we should make sure that we always read the printed items carefully.Before signing for a credit card,it is necessary to know its advantages and disadvantages.The only way to deal with this is to do our homework, before we go credit card hunting.

科目:高中英語 來源:2006年高考試題(陜西卷)解析版 題型:閱讀理解
If you’re like most students, you probably read both at home and outside your home: Perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks. Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding, so give some thought to how you can create(營造)or choose the right reading environments. The right environment allows you to stay alert (專注的)and to keep all of your attention on the text, especially when it is both interesting and difficult.
When you’re at home, you can usually create effective conditions for reading. You might want to choose a particular place-----a desk or table, for example ----where you always read. Make sure the place you choose is well lighted, and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight. Reading
In a chair that’s too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy! Keep your active reading tools (pens, markers, notebooks or paper) and a dictionary close at hand.
Before you sit down for a reading period, try to reduce all possible interruptions. Turn off your phone, the televisions, and the radio. Tell your family members or roommates that you’ll be busy for a while. If necessary , put a “Do not disturb” sign on your door! The more interruptions you must deal with while you read, the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand.
1.The author believes that the right reading environment _______.
A. helps readers a little in their reading tasks
B. helps readers a lot in their reading tasks
C. can only be created at one’s home
D. can only be created outside one’s home
2.Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text?
A. Dictionaries B. Paper C. Notebooks D. Phone calls
3.What would be the best title for the text?
A. What to Read B. The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions
C. Creating an Effective Reading Environment D. How to Read Fast
