28、 When the world was new,all the people of the world spoke one tongue. There was no hunger and people were never sick. The heat of the day brought no insects and no wild dogs came in the dark night.【1】.
In the land of the two great rivers there were many gods but Enki was among the greatest. 【2】 . He was wise and powerful.
The king of the city of Uruk was building a great temple to Enki,higher and more beautiful than any temple ever built. 【3】,but it was not complete. The king came to see the building and he wasn't satisfied. "This temple must be the most beautiful in the world,"he cried. “I must have more gold and diamonds. ”
【4】,so the king of Uruk sent a message to demand they be sent to him. The king of Aratta refused angrily,saying,"You will never have the treasure of my people. You must send your armies and we will make war. "
Enki saw that thousands of people would die, so he spoke his nam-shub, words of magic in the original language of the world. The minds of people became confused. 【5】 . The kings of Aratta and Uruk, the soldiers and all the people found that they could not understand each other. Thus they travelled across the world to build new cities for themselves. The kings of Aratta and Uruk couldn't start a war any longer.

29、Think about how much reading you do everyday. When you look at it, you might find that reading is the work-related skill that you use most often! 【1】 After all, if we can read and comprehend textbooks, then aren’t we good readers? Maybe not. Given the time that reading consumes, it may be a skill that we can and should improve.
【2】 It means getting faster and more efficient at reading, while still understanding what you’re reading. Although you spend a good part of your day reading, have you ever thought about how you read? How do your eyes make sense of the shapes of the letters, and then put those letters together to form sentences that you can understand?
Reading is quite a complex skill. It was previously believed during reading, both eyes focus on particular letters.【3】 Scientists now believe that the eyes lock onto different letters at the same time, usually two characters apart. Your brain then fuses (融合) these images together to form a word. This happens very swiftly, as we look through pages of text!
Many people read at an average rate of 250 words per minute. 【4】
Imagine, then, if you could double your rate to 500 words per minute. 【5】 You could then spend the saved time on other tasks, or take a few extra minutes to relax. Another important advantage of speed reading is that it allows one to better comprehend the overall structure of an argument. This leads to better “big picture” understanding, which can greatly benefit your work and career.
A.Recent research shows this isn’t the case.
B.Speed reading has a great many benefits.
C.You should practice to improve your reading speed.
D.But what does becoming a better reader involve?
E.You could read all of this content in half the time.
F.It’s also a skill that most of us take for granted by the time we reach age 12.
G.This means that an average page in a book or document takes 1-2 minutes to read.
