湖南省株洲四中高中英语m7 阅读填空、阅读简答专练 练习题（译林版）test 1ato cultivate(培养) ones taste in english prose(散文)，the most effective way is to read english books extensively.yet one may be at a loss to choose the appropriate books，especially as a beginner.i would like to share some of my experience.my first english novel was jane austens pride and prejudice，recommended by many english teachers and professors as an ideal book for english learners.but i had great difficulty in understanding the novel，let alone enjoying it.its not the vocabulary that troubled me，but rather the way austen constructs sentences，and her way of thinking，which seemed too remote to me at that time.my fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading hemingways novel farewell to arms.i particularly liked his concise(简明) and lively style.so my first suggestion is，as a beginner，youd better choose contemporary novels instead of classical ones.you can easily engage yourself in reading，get fun out of it，and gradually build up confidence，i do not mean to exclude(排斥) classical novels forever.actually，the second reading of pride and prejudice greatly pleased me (probably the result of my improved english comprehension)it is only that classical novels are less accessible to beginners due to their language styles and social background.however，reading novels is not the only way to improve your english.english essays can at once inform you，entertain you.the best example is bertrand russells work.its language is plain，yet you cannot help feeling the elegance and the unique sense of humor.his simple language enables his philosophy(哲理) within the reach of ordinary people.here comes my second suggestionessays are necessary.my last advice is never to follow others opinions blindly，however famous or influential the person might be.as a saying goes，one mans meat is another mans poison.with that in mind，we are sure to find our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in english.title：how to

child.the girl was very lovely and beautiful.every day the girl would sing and dance for him.they lived together happily.he was very proud of her.whenever talking about his daughter，he always thought he was the happiest father in the world.he lived for hershe was his life.so when one day she became seriously ill，he became like a crazy man，moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health.his best efforts，however，proved unavailing and the child died.he felt his own life was gone with his little daughter.the father became a bitter recluse(隐居者)，shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his confidence and bring him back to his normal self.but one night he had a dream.he was in heaven，witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels.they were marching in a line passing by the great white throne.every whiterobed angelic child carried a candle.he noticed that one childs candle was not lighted.then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl.rushing to her，he seized her in his arms，kissed her tenderly，and then asked，“how is it，darling，that your candle alone is unlighted？” “daddy，they often relight it，but your tears always put it out.”just then he awoke from his dream.the lesson was crystal clear，and its effects were immediate.from that hour on he was not a recluse，but communicated freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates.no longer would his darlings candle be extinguished by his useless tears.1how did the father feel when his daughter died？(no more than 9

head，which measures your sleep cycle and analyses your brain wave and then waits for you to be in your lightest phase(阶段) of sleep before waking you up.sleepsmarts technology is based on.that is，as you sleep，you sleep through a sequence of sleep state：light sleep，deep sleep and rem (rapid eye movement) sleepthat repeats approximately every 90 minutes.recent scientific research has learned that the way one feels after waking up is determined not by the length of sleep，but rather the sleep cycle from which that person awakens.when awoken from deep sleep，the sleeper feels tired.however，if someone wakes up from a lighter stage of sleep，no matter how many hours they slept，they still wake up recharged and energetic.sleepsmart monitors the distinct pattern of brain waves produced during each phase of sleep.you program the clock with the latest time at which you want to be wakened.the device can measure the electrical activity of the wearers brain in much the same way as some machines used for medical and research purpose and communicates wirelessly with a clock unit near the bed and the device then timely wakes you up during the last light sleep phase before that.the monitoring of sleep phases is the key to solving the problem of overand undersleeping.sleepsmart was exactly designed to track the sleep phases.and it was invented by a group of students at brown university in rhode island after a friend complained of waking up tired and performing poorly on a test.another function of the device is its noise recording that can be played back later.noise recording is the ideal way to find out the cause of sleep disturbance.it is a great tool for adjustment of the sleeping environment.title：1._2._a group of students at brown university in rhode islandtheory3._

before it opened for real.people from three states spent the night in the jail(监狱)，including some lawyers and a couple celebrating their first anniversary.“it was something they could experience without having to get a criminal record，” cole county sheriff(郡治安官) greg white said.“they spent the night and gained an understanding that they would not want to ever do this again.”jailers(狱卒) tried
