24、Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other.
An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity(自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice , he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new that is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time. Without expression or meaning , you need more practice.
【1】“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading ________.
A.helps school develop faster
B.can improve students’ learning results
C.helps students go to a key school
D.is a key to a successful school
【2】Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they ________.
A.know how to read the words
B.do not have to think while reading
C.read by themselves without any help
D.pay attention to the meaning of the text
【3】Rossman tells that any child who ________ will possibly be an automatic reader .
A.seldom turns off TV
B.reads books by the word quickly
C.spends an hour reading every day
D.gets the same grades as others in exams
【4】The underlined word “stumbles” in the passage means “ ________” in Chinese.
A.结结巴巴地读
B.全神贯注地读
C.心不在焉地读
D.声情并茂地读
【5】The best title for the passage is “________”.
A.Automaticity Depends on Practice
B.TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C.IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
D.Automatic Readers Will Be Successful
25、Answer the questions.
Some kinds of mental skills naturally decrease as people get older. Yet research seems to show that some training can improve such skills. A recently published study also appears to demonstrate that the good effects of training can last for many years after that training has ended.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland wanted to learn how long memory and thinking skills would last in older people who trained to keep them. The people were part of the ten-year research project. They were taught methods meant to improve their memory, thinking and ability to perform everyday tasks.
More than 2,800 volunteered for the study called ACTIVE - short for Advanced (Cognitive) Training for Independent and Vital Elderly. Most studied when they were more than 70 years old.
The volunteers took one of several short training classes meant to help them keep their mental abilities. One class trained participants in skills including how to remember word lists. Another group trained in reasoning. A third group received help with speed-of-processing - speed of receiving and understanding information. A fourth group - the control group did not get any training.
Earlier results had established that the training helped the participants for up to five years. Now, lead study writer George Rebok says, the research showed most of the training remained effective a full ten years later.
Professor Rebok and his team found that the people trained in reasoning and speed-of-processing did better on tests than the control group.
"We are wondering whether those effects which endured over time would still be there ten years following the training, and in fact, that's exactly what we found."
The effect on memory, however, seemed not to last as long. Still, the old people in any of the three classes generally reported less difficulty in performing daily activities than the control group. The total training time for the older people was between 10 and 15 hours.
【1】Which statement is true according to the text?
A.This kind of training can only have effect on people for a few years。
B.The people were trained during a period of ten years.
C.All the people who were studied were more than 70 years old.
D.The second group were trained how to remember word lists.
【2】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.There were four groups being trained.
B.The old people trained can remember words better.
C.The second and third group improved their skills better than the first one.
D.The research showed that the effect of the training could absolutely last 10 years.
【3】What’s the main idea of the fourth paragragh?
A.What was the meaning of the research?
B.How was the research conducted?
C.Why was the mental training effective?
D.How long did the research last?
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Mental Training Helped Elderly Stay Sharp for Years
B.How to improve our mental health
C.Four groups of old people were trained mentally.
D. The result of a ten-year research
26、 On a sunny morning, Andy rode to school slowly, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he didn't notice everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked up to the sky. What he saw frightened him. A huge group of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and seemed to be flying angrily towards him.
With no time to waste, Andy rode off in the opposite direction, but without knowing how to escape the bees. As the bees came closer, he was afraid. He knew that he was sensitive(敏感的) to bee stings(蜇). Last time a sting had put him in hospital. And that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father's words came to him. " When you are in danger, don’t panic. Stay calm, use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke rising slowly from the chimney(烟囱) of the Nelson family home“Bees don' t like smoke," he thought. “They couldn't get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson’s house, but the bees were coming very close. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He thought that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, he saw a small pool at the corner. He got off his bike and jumped into the cool water, disappeared below the surface and kept away from the horrible insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. He got out of the water and struggled (挣扎)up to ring the doorbell.

27、Living and dealing with kids can be a tough (棘手的,难办的)job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart (疏远). When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’'t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi,” and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication" in a dictionary, it would say” the exchange of ideas, conveyance(表达) of information, correspondence(一致), means of communication: a letter or message. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you.Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was a late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication was the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel—listening is the key factor to communication.
【1】The main idea of the second paragraph is ________.
A.the importance of friendship
B.to make your feeling known to others
C.the importance of communication
D.the disagreement between generations
【2】The example in this passage proves that ________.
A.Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
B.Sophie is very polite to her parents
C.Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D.communication is the solution (解决办法) to misunderstanding
【3】All the following statements are true EXCEPT “________”.
A.If you don’t agree with others, you d better let them know
B.It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C.If you are not able to communicate, walk away
D.Communication is a two-way deal
