21、Reading is a good hobby for all kinds of reasons.
First, reading is fun. You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading. You will never feel bored or tired.
Next, you can read a book almost anywhere---in a car, on a plane, or even in the bathroom. All you need is a book!
Another good reason for reading is that it is useful. If you read as a hobby, you will get better and better at it. And you will read faster and find it easier to understand what you read. As your reading skills improve, you will probably find your schoolwork becomes much better.
Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You can read on computers, and the better you read, the better your computer skills will be.
Good readers may become writers too. They always have more things to write about.
If you wish to become a good reader, here are four important points to remember about speed of reading:
Knowing why you are reading---what you are reading to find out---will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.
Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are instructions for making or doing something, solving math problems, and science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important idea.
Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and news from local newspapers, which tell what was happening to friends and neighbors.
In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow or from slow to fast as you go along. You need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
【1】You can read a book ________.
A. almost anywhere B. when you are driving a car

22、Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer. The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.
However, he went to work at an orphanage (孤儿院) in Nepal. His first thought was to make people impressed.
“I thought that if I volunteered just once, I could retell the story over and over,” Grennan said in the Huffington Post.
However, his three-month stay in the orphanage turned into an unusual experience. It was in 2018 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year’s long around-the-world trip. His first three months were spent in Nepal.
When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children’s Home, he was faced by the excited children.
The young American ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked (被拐卖的) children. So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids’ families. “I started walking with photos of the kids,” he told the Reuter’s reporter. “I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with 24 photos, and I found 24 families.”
At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
Grennan said, “Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives.”
He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.
Grennan’s fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.
【1】At first, Grennan simply wanted to _________ by volunteering in Nepal.
A.write travel stories
B.learn the skills
C.help the kids there
D.impress people
【2】When Grennan came to the Little Prince Children’s Home, _________ .
A.18 children were ill in bed
B.the children there felt excited
C.he decided to give up his job
D.he’d lived in Nepal for a year
【3】From the passage we can learn that Grennan _________ .
A.found the kids’ families easily
B.was good at taking pictures
C.wrote the book Little Prince
D.asked others to go to Nepal
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Volunteering changes a lot
B.Volunteering is with the kids
C.A volunteer becomes a writer
D.A volunteer travels in Nepal
23、 A new series of Chinese Maths textbooks was published in the UK following the success of the previous edition, with an expert saying Chinese Maths textbooks are generally more difficult for UK students. However, new Chinese Maths textbooks teach UK students learning skills.
Yi Ke Yi Lian, or One Lesson, One Exercise, is a series of popular textbooks for primary and junior high schools in Shanghai. For about 20 years, this series has helped students to practice what they have learned in class. This summer, the Maths textbook series was published in the UK.
The British version has 11 volumes (册), as there are 11 grades from primary school to high school in the UK. The publishers cut out part of the content in the Chinese version to go with the curriculum setting (课程安排) there. They also changed some terms (术语) and background knowledge. But the overall difficulty level is the same.
The move follows the British government’s efforts to learn from Shanghai’s Maths teaching methods starting from last year. In the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA.国际学生评估项目), Shanghai students got the first place on the Maths exam while British students got 24th place.
In September, the British government invited 60 of Shanghai’s top Maths teachers to British schools to share their teaching experience. A number of teachers from the UK also visited Shanghai for experience.
“It seems that the Shanghai teaching methodology (方法) uses resources much more effectively,” said Liz Truss, a government education officer. We have stagnated (停滞) in our Maths performance for the last 15 years, and it’s time for us to learn and apply good practices.”
【1】The British publishers ________ before publishing the textbooks.
A.added more content to the books
B.changed the curriculum setting
C.changed some of the book’s background knowledge
D.changed the overall difficulty level of the books
【2】In the 2012 PISA, students from which country got the first place on the Maths exam?
A.The UK. B.China. C.Japan. D.The USA.
【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.The UK is using Chinese Maths books. B.How to improve UK kids’ Maths skills.
C.Lots of practice can make a difference. D.China has the best teaching methodology.
24、 It's no surprise that a night without enough sleep can lead to a bad morning.Does it also do harm to our bodies?
According to US sleep researcher David Dinges, not getting enough sleep can have serious side effects on our minds and bodies.
For the study, Dinges divided some people into three groups.The first group was allowed eight hours of sleep for two weeks;the second group was given six hours;the third group got four hours of sleep.
Dinges found that the people in the first group stayed normal while the people in the last two groups showed tiredness and negative feelings.
"When people don't have enough sleep,it’s hard to sense their happiness,"Dinges said."Also,they are less able to sense others' good feelings."
But if not having enough sleep can harm our health,can we get better later on?
“People think that sleep is like the bank that you can pay off your debt (债务)*at a later point in time,Us Sleep Scientist Matthew Walker told popular Science."But we now know that sleep is not like that.
According to Live Science,humans are the only animal species that don't have sleep storage (储存)systems,our brains(大脑)*cannot get back what we have lost.
So Scientists suggest that no matter how busy people are,they should always try to get enough sleep.
Here's the recommended*(建设)hours of sleep by age.Preschoolers(3 to 5 years):10 to 13 hours.School—age children(6 to 13 years):9 to 11 hours .Teenagers(14 to 17 years):8 to 10 hours.Adults(18 to 64 years):7 to 9 hours.Older adults(over 65 years):7 to 8 hours.
