24、When I was in high school, I entered an English speech competition. My listening and writing were excellent, but I couldn’t express my ideas clearly and fluently. So I always stayed up late practicing it. One day, I was so tired that I wanted to give up. My English teacher Mr. Smith noticed that and came to me. He said, “The point isn’t to win the competition. The point is to learn to work hard at something. That’s what you’re getting out of it.”After listening to his words, I cleared my mind and focused on practice. Although I only won the third place, I had no regrets because I learned more in the process of preparation.

When I entered college, I majored in(主修) math while my favorite was history. I had a hard time working out different math problems. I forced myself to learn as much as I could from such a challenging subject, which made me upset every day. At that time, Mr. Smith’s words came into my mind and encouraged me to keep going. Even if I had no interest in the subject, it could still teach me something valuable.

What I understand now is that I can either be miserable(痛苦的), or I can be miserable but learn something. Thankfully, I chose the second. I have learned how to see the value in everything and try to smile at everything.

25、Learning English is just like learning to ride a bicycle. When learning English becomes a kind of habit， everything will become easier.

Please think about how we learned to ride a bicycle. There are four stages (阶段): At the first stage， the child doesn’t know what it is to ride a bicycle， nor can he ride. So look at ourselves， when we learned English at the first time， we were also             in this condition.

And then is the second stage. Although the child cannot ride himself， he grows and understands what it is to ride a bicycle. So， at this time， teachers are our navigation (航海) marks.

So according to this， we are just like the child starting to learn and now come to the third stage. He can ride a bicycle but has to think every time how to do it.

At last， the fourth stage comes when the child has practiced consciously (有意识地) riding the bicycle so much that he doesn’t have to think. Riding a bicycle becomes a kind of habit. He can talk to people and wave (招手) to others while riding.

       Learning English is just like learning to ride a bicycle. When learning becomes a kind of habit， we’ll find we can be successful not only in English but also in other subjects. When learning becomes a kind of habit， I think， no， I believe， one day             we’ll succeed and the success will belong to us forever.

27、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

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)

Many people like animals and take them as their pets, so pet hospitals are usually very busy. K【1】 persons who love animals are needed to help in busy animal hospitals. Those vets (兽医) will teach them how to take care of the animals.
