You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly. Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have. Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions. (1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read(4) Do you read one word at a time? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at one to break the habit. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you wont have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand and hold your head still(静止不动的). If you read no more than one or two at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read eve faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in thought and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster.( )46.You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as _.A. to tell others to be silent.B. to feel whether your lips move or not.C. to hold a piece of paper between them.( )47. When you read, _.A. dont keep your head still.B. dont hold your books with your handsC. dont use your finger to point to words.( )48.If you learn to read fast, _.A. you can read more in less time.B. you can write fasterC. you can understand better( )49.You must _ those habits that we are talking about in this reading.A. remember B. have C. get rid of（改掉）( )50.This reading is mainly about_.A. the way of reading fastB. the importance of fast readingC. the bad habits in reading (C)For many of us，the idea of a family is a lot narrower than itused to be. Today children go away to college，and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in afamily with grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins，many of us aretruly connected only to our parents and brothers.Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives anddont care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not，this feeling of being disconnectedmakes people feel a kind of lonely. “People need to feelconnected，”says Joy Browne，a doctor in the U.S. “And they will doit in the easiest ways.” When family members arent connected, whatcould be easier than forming(形成) a connection to famous people?This isnt something unusual，of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. Its natural and in most ways harmless tofeel that way. But thats unhealthy, because these relationships(关系) arent two-way. For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about theirgrandparents，aunts and cousins，and by telling them the childrenslatest activities and interests. We can use technology to keep connected with each other. Itseasy to send e-mails to granddad Better yet，take a vacation withmembers of your relatives-not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. Andwhen a bad thing happens，no one can be as helpful as yourrelatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people，they cant be there to cry for us. 51. Which of the following does the writer seem to tell us? A. People should love famous people better than they love theirrelatives. B. We should always take vacations with our own family members. C. The idea of a family should stay the same. D. The feeling of love should be two-way. 52. The writer talks about technology here to _. A. tell us the way to improve family relationshipB. encourage us to tell others what is happeningC. let us know something new about science D. teach us how to send an e-mail 53. The reason why people feel lonely is that _. A. the famous people dont cry for themB. people want better jobs and good schooling C. people arent as closely connected as before D. kids today know little about their relatives 54. What does the writer write this passage for? A. To keep families from breaking.B. To tell us to care more about each other. C. To be as helpful as we can. D. To advise families to keep closely connected. 55.Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. For many of us，the idea of a family is a lot wider than itused to be.B. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2005.C. when a bad thing happens，no one can be as helpful as yourrelatives.D. A week or so of relaxing vacation can not be a great way to tie up family ties非选择题部分（50分）一.单词拼写:根据首字母提示或汉语意思补全所缺单词。（10小题，共10分）1. Its too dark to see c _.
