For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 21 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 22 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 23 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 24 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 25 in the actual stuff(材料) language itself ——words. Taken individually, words have 26 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 27 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing（退回） to 28 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 29 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 30 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 31 reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 32 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined（预先确定的） speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 33 the reader finds comfortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 34 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization（默读）practically impossible. At first 35 is sacrificed for speed．But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 36 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 37 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 38 Chalice Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 39 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 40 a lot more reading material in a short period of time. 21． A．applying B．doing C．offering D．getting 22． A．quickly B．easily C．roughly D．decidedly 23． A．good B．curious C．poor D．urgent 24． A．training B．habits C．situations D．custom 25． A．lies B．combines C．touches D．involves 26． A．some B．a lot C．little D．dull 27． A．Fortunately B．In fact C．Logically D．Unfortunately 28． A．reuse B．reread C．rewrite D．recite 29． A．what B．which C．that D．if 30．A．scales B．cuts C．slows D．measures 31．A．some one B．one C．he D．reader 32．A．accelerator B．actor C．amplifier D．observer 33．A．then B．as C．beyond D．than

A

Freda Bright says, \I've known people to die from no love, but I've never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can't love one another enough.

A heart-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and apprehensive. Late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to a raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or... did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, and then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read, \darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.\

Following the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She noticed that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the floor, she read, \anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you.\

Someone has said that the measure of love is when you love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and cure her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.

Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face. Compared to people with bad attitudes, people who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being upbeat helps the body fight illnesses. “We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease

risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the leading researcher. In a previous study, people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors, even when medical tests detected those symptoms. Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters. Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, ultimately decides our chances of catching colds. To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions), the researchers interviewed 193 healthy adults. The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous two weeks. Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less upbeat. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger impact on how healthy we are. For now, it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not! 49. The underlined word “upbeat” in the second paragraph means ________. A. cold-blooded B. warm-hearted C. negative D. positive 50. According to the researchers, what has a final effect on catching colds? A. One’s wealth. B. One’s personality C. One’s reputation. D. One’s emotions.

51. By saying “it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not” the writer means ____. A. you will get hurt for your positive attitude B. there is no benefit if you look at problems positively C. it will be good for your health to be always optimistic D. you will suffer if you are always positive 52. The best title for the passage may be _______. A. Smiles Turn away Colds B. Colds May Affect Attitude C. A Happy Face Leads to Health D. Persons Have Different Ideas on Colds

A new law has recently been announced which forbids people to disturb, annoy, harm, kill or interfere with any bats which choose to live in their houses. Anyone who disturbs a bat on its nest（鸟巢）,or handles one without a license will be fined ￡1,000.

There are some people who like bats. The late Mrs. Ian Fleming was one. She would crawl for miles to see them in caves or hanging from trees. Similarly, there are many people who do not like bats much but are not particularly troubled by them. The chance of a bat resting in their attics（阁楼） or spare bedroom curtains may seem far away from them. But there are others who do not fail into either of these categories and Mr. Auberon Waugh is one. Underneath his house are eight large celars which for some reason bats have chosen to claim for themselves. He finds it extremely disagreeable to have to fight his way through a colony of them every time he wants a bottle of wine. And as a wine-lover he gets a particular pleasure from the ownership of wine, which has nothing to do with drinking it. He has certain bottles in his cellar which he thinks are too good to serve to anyone he knows, but he likes to go down and enjoy looking at them occasionally. The bats entirely destroy this pleasure.

Until the recent law, he could keep the bat problem within manageable proportions by sending his children down on a bat hunt every three months armed with tennis rackets. They usually managed to kill one or two and discouraged the rest from settling. But now, Mr. Waugh fears that the bats will take over the house. To solve the problem he inquired what course of action he could take and was told by Dr Robert Stebbings of the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, “I am sure that no one will mind if you pick up a bat and take it outside and hang it on a tree or the outside of the house.” The trouble with this, as Mr. Waugh explains, is that he would be fined a ￡1,000 if
