河北省衡水二中2010年新高一暑假作业及答案（英语）(21)

In an American classroom, a Chinese girl was asked to answer a question. She stood up and smiled, without making any sound. The American teacher looked at himself and didn't see anything funny. So he asked her the question again. The girl just smiled but said nothing. The teacher was angry. He didn't know that the girl smiled to cover her embarrassment (尴尬) because she wasn't able to answer the question.

In a dining room in Beijing, an Englishman was careless and dropped a plate. The Chinese who had seen this began to laugh. The Englishman felt uncomfortable and even got angry. "They are laughing at me," he thought. In fact, the Chinese laughed not at the Englishman or his bad luck--whether he is a foreigner or a Chinese. The laughter has several feelings, don't take it so seriously; laugh it off, it's nothing; such things can happen to any of us, etc.

Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview--if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here's how to preview.

●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really want--or need--to read.

Skim--if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading --like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

Here's how to skim.

●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

●Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.

39. How many skills are recommended in this passage?

A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.

40. What does the underlined word "preview" mean in Chinese?

A.精读 B.默读 C.朗读 D.略读

41. What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?

A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully. B. Get our eyes to move fast.

C. Sweep our eyes across each line. D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.

42. What is the best title for this passage?

A. How to read faster B. What to read C. When to read D. Why we should read
