A study found a(an) _36_ result in young children: the more stories read to them, the _37_ their “theory of mind,” or mental model of other peoples intentions.“Deep reading” as _38_ to the superficial reading we do on the Web is an _39_ practice, one we should take steps to _40_ as we would a historic building or a significant work of art. Its _41_ would put in danger the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as literature that can be _42_ only by readers whose brains, quite _43_ , have been trained to understand them.Recent research has demonstrated that deep reading is a _44_ experience, different from the mere decoding of words. _45_ deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a _46_ book, the built-in limits of the printed page are uniquely conducive(有助于) to the deep reading experience. A books lack of hyperlinks, for example, _47_ the reader from making decisions Should I click on this link or not _48_ her to remain fully immersed in the narrative.The deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are different, both _49_ the experience they produce and the _50_ they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less _51_ and less satisfying, even for the “digital natives” for whom it is so familiar. When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the _52_ of their reading actually slows. The _53_ of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with _54_, analysis, and opinions. It gives them time to establish an close relationship with the author, the two of them engaged in an extended _55_ like people falling in love. 36. A. different B. unbelievable C. efficient D. similar 37. A. quicker B. stronger C. keener D. higher38. A. contradicted B. equal C. opposed D. relevant39.

Some of the choices seem odd to me but thats part of the fun, as you wonder why. The notes make the book really useful. Every home should have a copy.POEMS THAT MAKE GROWN MEN CRYEdited by Anthony and Ben Holden (Simon & Schuster 16.99)This is a fascinating, wide-ranging selection of poems chosen by 100 well-known men simply because they find them deeply moving. But grown men arent supposed to cry, are they?Some of the poems are about loss, as youd expect, but others are about deeply held political passions or intense observations of nature. Each is introduced by the chooser, usually with frank personal detail.BLACK COUNTRY by Liz Berry (Chatto 10)This is a writer Im thrilled to discover someone who takes a pride in the Midlands, where she lives. Berry uses some of the dialect words she heard as a child, turning ordinariness into something direct, tender and beautiful.The disagreeable Brummie accent becomes music in the hands of this fine young poet.LEARNING TO MAKE AN OUD IN NAZARETH by Ruth Padel (Chatto 10)Padel is one of our most talented writers.

I just couldnt get going in the morning, she says. Id get depressed and gain 10 pounds every winter and lose them again in the spring. Then she read about seasonal affective disorder, a form of depression that occurs in fall andwinter, and she saw the light literally. Every morning now she turns on a specially constructed light box for half an hour and sits in front of it to trick her brain into thinking its still enjoying those long summer days. It seems to work. Krentz is not alone. Scientists estimate that 10 million Americans suffer from seasonal depression and 25million more develop milder versions. But theres never been definitive proof that treatment with very brightlights makes a difference. After all, its hard to do a double-blind test when the subjects can see for themselves whether or not the light is on. Thats why nobody has ever separated the real effects of light therapy from placebo (安慰剂) effects. Until now, in three separate studies published last month, researchers report not only that light therapyworks better than a placebo but that treatment is usually more effective in the early morning than in theevening. In two of the groups, the placebo problem was resolved by telling patients they were comparing light boxes to a new anti-depressant device that gives off negatively charged ions (离子). The third used the timing of light therapy as the control. Why does light therapy work? No one really knows.Our research suggests it has something to do withshifting the bodys internal clock, says psychiatrist Dr. Lewey. The body is programmed to start the day with sunrise, he explains, and this gets later as the days get shorter. But why such subtle shifts make some peopledepressed and not others is a mystery. That hasnt stopped thousands of winter depressives from trying to heal themselves. Light boxes for that purpose are available without a doctors prescription. That bothers psychologist Michael Terman of Columbia University. He is worried that the boxes may be tried by patients who suffer from mental illness that cant be treated with light. Terman has developed a questionnaire to help determine whether expert care is needed. In any event, you should choose a reputable manufacturer. Whatever product you use should give off only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive (对光敏感的), you may develop a rash. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 to 60 minutes in the morning. Thats an inconvenience many winter depressives can live with.59. What is the probable cause of Krentzs problem?A. An unexpected gain in body weight.B. Unexplained impairment of her nervous system.C. Weakening of her eyesight with the setting in of winter.D. Poor adjustment of her body clock to seasonal changes.60. What is the CURRENT view concerning the treatment of seasonal depression with bright lights?A. Its effect remains to be seen. B. It serves as a kind of placebo.C. It proves to be an effective therapy.D. It hardly produces any effects.61. What is psychologist Michael Termans major concern?A. Winter depressives will be addicted to using light boxes.B. No mental patients would bother to consult psychiatrists.C. Inferior light boxes will give off harmful ultraviolet lights.D. Light therapy could be misused by certain mental patients.62. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Winter depressives prefer light therapy in spite of its inconvenience.B. Light therapy increases the patients photosensitivity.C. Eye damage is a side effect of light therapy.D. Light boxes can be programmed to correspond to shifts in the body clock.CIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics. In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the decline of class and classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification. One unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded educated and soft. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as common and ugly. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice. In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.63. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain _.A. it is time to end class distinction B. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a persons class D. people regard themselves socially different64. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _.A.variety B.division C. authority D. qualification65.British attitudes towards accent _.A. have a long tradition B. are based on regionalstatusC. are shared by the Americans D. have changed in recent years66. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expanding B. A persons accent reflectshisclassC. Class is a key part of British society D. Each class has unique characteristics. D My mind went blank when I saw the gun pointing against the car window as we pulled out of the garage. This cant be happening to me. Then I felt the gun, cold, against my head, and I heard my friend Jeremy saying, “What do you want? Take my wallet,” but at the time I thought of nothing. I remember being a little annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house - Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I remember the fear and anger in the gunmens voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the bush. But I remember that sound of the gun hitting Jeremys head and the feeling as the man who had hold of my hair released me. And I remember the split second when I realized he was looking at Jeremy, and I remember wondering how far I could run before he pulled the trigger. But I was already running, and upon reaching the car across the street, I didnt crouch(蹲伏) behind it but screamed instead. I remember thinking there was something ridiculous and illogical about screaming “Help, help!” at eight oclock on a Tuesday evening in December and changing my plea(恳求) to the more specific “Help, let me in, please let me in!” But the houses were cold, closed, unfriendly, and I ran on until I heard Jeremys screams behind me announcing that our attackers had fled. The neighbors who had not opened their doors to us came out with baseball bats and helped Jeremy find his glasses and keys. In a group they were very brave. We waited for the police to come until someone said to someone else that the noodles were getting cold, and I said politely, “Please go and eat. Were O.K.” I was happy to see them go. They had been talking of stricter sentences for criminals, of bringing back the death penalty(处罚) and how the President is going to clean up the country. I was thinking, they could be saying all of this over my dead body, and I still feel that stiffer sentences wouldnt change a thing. In a rush all the anger I should have felt for my attackers was directed against these contented people standing in front of their warm, comfortable homes talking about all the guns they were going to buy. What good would guns have been to Jeremy and me? People all over the neighborhood had called to report our screams, and the police turned out in force twenty minutes later. They were ill-tempered about what was, to them, much trouble about nothing. After all, Jeremy was hardly hurt, and we were hopeless when it came to describing the gunmen. “Typical,” said one policeman when we couldnt even agree on how tall the men we
