From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation(侮辱). When children are little we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”
The children sat stunned and silent. Was this teacher talking seriously? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that “I said just as seriously?” I mean every word of it.
During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations(插图) I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”
This is exactly what reading, I think, should be: find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, and then go on to something else.

My mother is a geneticist, and from her I learned that despite our differences in size, shape and color, we humans are 99.9 percent the same. It is in our 36 to see differences: skin, hair and eye color, height, language. But also in our nature, way down in the DNA that 37 us human, we are almost the 38 .
I believe there is more that unites us than 39 us.
My mother came to the US from India. She is 40 enough that she got her service 41 in a diner in 1960s Dallas. My father is a white boy from Indiana whose 42 came from Germany in the mid-1800s.
It seems 43 to admit now, but I never 44 that my parents were different colors. One day, I watched my parents walk 45 the street of our church together. They were 46 in the service that day, and as they walked, I saw their hands 47 together in unison(一致地). I noticed for the first time how dark my mother was, and how white my father was. I knew them as my parents 48 I realized their skin color. I'm sorry to say that now when I see a mixed-race 49 walking down the street, I see the "mixed race" first and the "couple" second.
When my parents married in 1966, there were 50 places in this country that had laws 51 mixed marriage. 52 , my white grandfather, 53 father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.
Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others 54 . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all 55 . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that.

The college schedule is very different from the traditional high school schedule. 1. In high school, you had to take the US History, which was offered every day at 10:00 a.m. In college, you’ll probably need to take a history class, but you could have 10 choices offered on different days and at different times.
2. For example, you will pick a course that will determine the types of classes you will specialize in. In high school, you have a set curriculum of classes you have to take across all subject areas. 3. During the first two years, you’ll take more general education classes. But during your junior and senior years, you’ll take fewer general education classes.
Another big difference you should be aware of is classes. Now, you’re in school from 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 4. In college, you might have a science class on Mondays and Fridays from 10:10-11:00 a.m. Perhaps you’ll have a Chinese class on Thursdays from 1:15-3:00 p.m.
5. If you go to a large university, your campus will be your home and might take up an entire town. You might see hundreds of students going out to bars every night. Many colleges are home both to academic and social clubs. In high school your stage is regional. In college, your stage is national-and sometimes global.
A.This will not be the case in college.
B.In college, think about your schedule as a pyramid.
C.Some things will appear similar, but many will be different.
D.Typically, there is a lot more flexibility with your college classes.
E.The differences will challenge your self-management as much as your abilities.
F.The atmosphere and social life in college are also different from those in high school.
G.The other cool thing is that you usually have more opportunities to explore your interests.

The English, as a race, are very different from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed (声言) that living on an island 36 from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the 37 are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has38 many attitudes and habits which make them 39from other nationalities.
Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a 40 , shy and reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he 41 well. In the 42 of strangers or foreigners he often seems embarrassed. You have only to walk around a city any morning or evening to 43 the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit 44 their newspapers or have a light sleep in a corner with no one speaking. 45, to do so would seem most unusual to many foreigners. An Englishman pretending to be giving46to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers”. Obviously , he was not being 47 . There is an unwritten48clearly understood code (规则) of behaviour which, if 49 , makes the person immediately suspect(怀疑).
In many parts of the world it is quite 50 to show openly their enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc. The Englishman is somewhat 51 . Of course, an Englishman lacks no deep feelings, in fact , no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his52 far less. This is reflected in his use of 53. Imagine a man making a comment on the great 54 of a young girl. A more emotional man might 55 her as “extremely beautiful,” “precious”, however, an Englishman might just say, “Um, she is all right.” The girl who heard this should not be angry because "not bad" and " all right" very often have the same meaning as "first class" " excellent" and this unique style of language use is common in England.
