Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.

As your eyes move along the line of point, they make fixations (固定) or pauses (暂停). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group. The numbers of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span (视跨). Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.

The way in which you read always depends on (取决于) what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:

(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.

(2) Rapid (快速) first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.

(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (细致的) study of your school subjects, solving math problems or reading directions.

(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing materials that you already know well.

1.The main reason for reading fast is that you can ________.

A．get the ideas       B．save time          C．understand better   D．learn well

2.The way of reading always depends on ________.

A．the method that you like                  B．your reading material

C．your reading purpose                    D．both B and C

3.The word “skimming” means “________”.

A．reading the main points                  B．reading carefully

C．reading very fast                        D．reading some parts of the material

4.Careful reading is an important kind of reading ________.

A．when you review a lesson that you already know well

As the weather gets warmer, there are few things that are better to do than travel. But traveling might not be that fun for everyone, especially for those who have motion sickness(晕动症).

Motion sickness is also called travel sickness. It is a common experience for many people. Depending on how you travel, it can be called carsickness or seasickness. People with motion sickness feel very uncomfortable while they are in motion. They feel sick and dizzy(眩晕的), like the room around them won't stop turning.

It is generally believed that motion sickness happens when your senses become confused with each other, Scientific American reported.

We use different parts of our body to sense movement. Our eyes tell us if we are moving. The inner ears(内耳) contain a special liquid（液体）that helps us sense our direction and balance. Our muscles（肌肉）react to movement.

When you move around, these body parts work well together. But when you are in a car or an airplane, they get confused. Your inner ear gives off the information that you’re moving, but your eyes say you’re sitting still because you can’t see that you’re moving. This mismatch(不适配) gives us motion sickness.

But some people are less sensitive to motion sickness. This may be because they have certain genes(基因) that prevent mismatching senses, Bethann Hromatka, a genetics expert from the US, told the Atlantic.

Although there are many ways to deal with motion sickness, scientists believe that the key is to simply try to get used to it. For example, some astronauts do special exercises that give them mild(轻微的) motion sickness. After a week or two, the astronauts become used to it and don’t feel uncomfortable anymore, Sam Puma, a NASA flight doctor, told the BBC.

1.What do we know about motion sickness?

A.It is called carsickness when you travel by car.

B.It happens to only a small number of people.

C.It can make traveling more fun.

D.It causes the room to turn continuously.

2.How do people feel if they have motion sickness?

A.Worried and angry. B.Sick and dizzy. C.Thirsty. D.Sleepy.

3.Why do some people have motion sickness?

A.Because their senses stop working.

B.Because they lose their sense of direction.

C.Because their eyes can't see properly.

D.Because there is a mismatch among their senses.

4.The astronauts are mentioned to show that ______.

A.it is impossible for others to deal with motion sickness

B.astronauts can easily get used to motion sickness

C.special exercises can help deal with motion sickness

D.motion sickness has something to do with genes

Mark’s brother, Jamie, rang Mrs. Grady’s doorbell. “You know her better than I do, Mark. You do the talking.”

“Hi, Mrs. Grady,” said Mark when their neighbour opened her door. “Would you like us to shovel（铲雪）your sidewalk and driveway?”

Shoveling was Jamie’s idea, a way to make enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.

Mrs. Grady touched her hand to her heart. “That would be wonderful, boys. I think the job is getting to be too much for me.”

“It will cost 10 dollars,” Jamie said.

“If that’s OK,” Mark added.

“Oh dear,” Mrs. Grady sounded disappointed (失望的). “I haven’t been able to get to the bank. I can offer homemade cookies, but I realize that’s not what you had in mind.”

Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, but Jamie cut him off. “We’ll come back later.”

As they walked back, Mark looked quickly over his shoulder. Mrs. Grady stood at her window, watching them.

She didn’t look like the person who came to make him safe last summer when Mr. Dunn’s collie（牧羊犬）, Goldie, get away from her backyard. Goldie had just wanted to play, but Mark didn’t feel comfortable around big dogs. And Goldie had boxed him in between the wooden fence（栅栏）and the cedar hedge (雪松树篱).

Mark had tried to call for his dad, but his tongue (舌头) seemed locked behind his teeth.

Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. “Hold on, Mark. I’m coming!” She picked up a broom. “Goldie!” She’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had appeared quickly between Mark and the dog.

“Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dog along.

When Mark’s father had appeared, he’d said to Mrs. Grady, “That was very brave! Thank you.”

Mrs. Grady had laughed. “It was nothing. Good neighbours watch out for each other, don’t they?”

And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer.

He smiled and then dug deep into the snow.

“Hey!” Jamie shouted. “What are you doing?”

Mark couldn’t explain about Goldie and watching out for neighbours. “I like Mrs. Grady’s cookies,” he said and continued.

“It’ll take you all day,” his brother complained. “We’ll never get that game.”

Mark kept digging. Surprisingly, Jamie joined in.

Mark smiled. Jamie had known all along it was the right thing to do.

“Once the other neighbours see the good job we’ve done, they’ll line up to hire us,” said Jamie. “We’ll make money soon enough.” As usual, he had it all worked out.

1.How did Mark and Jamie feel when Mrs. Grady refused to pay?

A. Disappointed.　　 B. Angry.　　 C. Worried.　　 D. Stressed.

2.The underlined phrase “watch out for” in the passage means “______”.

A. look at　　 B. look out　　 C. look after　　 D. look over

3.Mark and Jamie chose to shovel for Mrs. Grady at last probably because ______.

A. they were sure that Mrs. Grady would help them later

B. they knew Mrs. Grady was helpful and they would like to help her

C. Mrs. Grady was too old to shovel herself and they would like to help her

D. Mrs. Grady was too old to shovel herself and would like to pay them later

4.Which can be the best title for the passage?

A. The Right Thing　　 B. The Silly Thing

C. The Unforgettable Thing　　 D. The Regrettable Thing

根据短文内容，从短文后的A-F选项中选出5个适当的选项补全短文（选项中有一项为多余选项）。

I know that you get the idea from the Internet that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—your ticket to success is through singing, basketball or being a superstar. 1.

The truth is that being successful is hard. You will not love every subject that you study.　 2.　 Not all homework will seem completely related to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

That is okay. 3. J.K. Rowling—who wrote Harry Potter—her first Harry Potter book was not accepted 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career(职业生涯). But he once said，“I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.”

These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success—you can not let your failures decide you. 4. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaker, it means you need to learn to act right. 5.

A. You have to let your failures teach you.

B. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work．

C. You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have.

D. But it is possible that you’re not going to be any of those things．

E. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it means you need to work harder.

F. Sometimes the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.

Do you know the word kiasu? If not, then be kiasu and google it. You’ll get more than a million hits and learn that, usually associated (联系) with Singaporeans, it means “to be afraid of losing out”. You’ll come across words such as kiasu parents, kiasu companies and even kiasu apps.

Just 40 years ago, the word first spread among men in the Singapore army. But before long, it had entered everyday Singapore English.

The first formal use of kiasu happened in 1990 in a government document (公文). Since then it has often been seen in Singapore newspapers. It spread to some other countries in southeast Asia, too. In 1992, Malaysia’s New Straits Times wrote of “kiasu parents providing their children with much more materials than necessary”.

Ten years after its first use in print, the word was used worldwide. Since around 2000, kiasu has appeared in British newspapers. The Guardian, in 2001,reported how “this pursuit of material wealth and the strong need to be No.1 has created the Singaporean we hear so much about---the kiasu Singaporean”, and again reported in 2004 that Singaporeans’ value shows how much they feel the need to stay ahead of everyone else and that they have a word for it: kiasu.

The word entered the Urban Dictionary in 2003 and the Oxford English Dictionary in 2007.In the the same year, Singaporean restaurant Kiasu opened in London.

The turning point on kiasu’s road to the mainstream came with its being used in documents and newspapers. Who dared to use kiasu in a government document? Who first used it in a newspaper? It was these people who pushed kiasu into the mainstream.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to use the word kiasu. B. What the word kiasu means.

C. The history of the word kiasu. D. The importance of the word kiasu.

2.What marked the wide use of the word kiasu around the world?

A. Its appearance in British papers. B. Its use as the name of a restaurant.

C. Its acceptance by a key document. D. Its description in Singapore newspapers.

3.What does the underlined word “pursuit” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. the act of looking for B. the act of looking out

C. the act of giving up D. the act of giving out
