26、 For most people, it is easy to read faster. Your reading speed is just a matter of habit. At first, however, you may need to change your bad reading habits. It is important to pay attention when you read. Some people read books and watch TV at the same time. They can't concentrate on the reading material as well as the TV programs. A teacher once told me that I could learn anything well if I did three things: pay attention, pay attention and pay attention.
There are some simple things that you can do to pay better attention and get more from reading. Many researchers say that you will improve your reading ability if you preview the passage before you actually read every word of it. Previewing is a good way to improve your ability to pay attention.
To do a preview you should:
● spend 30-60 seconds;
● look at the title of the passage;
● look at the headings and subheadings. They are usually underlined, in italics (斜体字) or in dark print;
● look at the pictures, forms and explanations;
● read the first and last paragraphs quickly and glance(扫视) at the first sentence of each paragraph;
● close the book and ask yourself:
What is the main idea?
What kind of passage is it?
What is the author's purpose?
You might not think that you could do all these things in so little time, but if you do the preview correctly, you will have a good general idea of the passage. If you have a general idea, you will be able to understand and remember the passage better.
If you can preview better, your ability to pay attention will be better.
【1】The writer tells us how to preview in order to .
A. improve our ability to pay attention
B. help us read books as well as watch TV
C. make us read faster than before
D. teach us how to write a passage
【2】According to the passage, how many things should we do when we preview a passage?
A. 3. B. 6. C. 9. D. 12.
【3】What is the best title for the passage?
A. Reading Ability B. Habits
C. Pay Attention D. Preview
27、 For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.
To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.
Lin’s eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography,” He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family wasn’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.
The next course to catch his eyes was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.
Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.
Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.
The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.
Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.
【1】Lin didn’t choose to study photography because ________.
A.it was too expensive B.he had no interest in it
C.he was not very creative D.it was not offered that term
【2】The underlined expression ________.
A.make him excited B.make him annoyed
C.get his attention D.help him see clearly
【3】Which of the following best describes Lin’s interest in cooking?
A.It only lasted for a short time B.It seemed to match his character.
C.It was forced on him by his parents. D.It developed slowly over many months
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A Strict Father B.A Changeable Boy C.Fun of Cooking D.The Birthday Gift
28、根据短文内容和所给汉语提示,写出各处单词的正确形式。
