Reading an English newspaper is a good way to improve a student’s language ability. As there are many useful and common words in an English newspaper, it may help students increase their vocabulary(词汇量)as well as improve their reading skills. 66.他们可以从报纸上学到新的知识。 But what is the proper way to read an English newspaper? Do students need to look over all the content(内容)of the newspaper?
The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines(标题)to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it’s easy to find out what you’re interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely. 67 .There is no need to go through all the articles.
Secondly, read newspapers every day. Remember words through context(上下文), in which these words may appear repeatedly. 68. Once they appear several times, you will remember them easily. Don’t look up every unknown word in your dictionary. You can try to guess the meaning between sentences. 69.如果你的猜测错了,不要放弃。 Keep reading, and you will become familiar with the words after reading them several times in different texts.
Reading English newspapers makes us knowledgeable. 70 .It can not only help us know what is happening in the world but also improve our language.

24、Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源) , we are short of (缺乏) others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal (煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.
【1】From the passage we know that some students often ______in the school.
A. eat too much B. don't work hard
C. waste things D. throw rubbish everywhere
【2】Which is not mentioned in this passage?
A. Fresh water. B. Forest. C. Oil. D. Coal.
【3】Which of the following things can’t prevent waste from happening?
A. Turn off the water taps when we finish washing

C. Try to order more food then we need.
D. We can recycle (循环使用) things that have already been used.
【4】Which of the following is right?
A. Waste brings problems.
B. Waste can bring no problem.
C. China is rich in fresh water.
D. Students never waste things.
【5】Which is the best title of this passage?

C. Waste in the School D. Rich Resources in China
25、
London has a new magazine. But it is not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV.
In order to read this magazine, you have to have a decoder (解码器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial (拨号) the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There are all kinds of information-everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news.
If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the back page, which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100, for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on page 101 to 109, so you put in the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible, so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week’s best bargains (廉价商品). But should you drive or take the train? To answer that question, you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it is being updated (更新) all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and all the pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
London already has three services. One, sent out by TV, is called ORACLE while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized (宣传). BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people would agree that it is a breakthrough (突破) as great as the invention of printing, which could not just change our reading habits but our whole way of life.
【1】We can know from the passage that in London ________.
A.the magazine is available (可获取的) at any local library
B.most of the postmen will lose their jobs some day

The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world.
The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr. Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.
This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes!
The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, “How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan.”
Watson is too amazed by this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation (观察) .
Observation One
Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.
Observation Two
Watson’s face was quite dark-skinned. But his wrists (手腕) were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country. As he was a working doctor, this was not a holiday. He must have gone with the army.
Observation Three
At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.
