is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. the author, w. h. armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. in his opinion, reading doesnt just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. the goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. ive seen it again and again：some-one who cant express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasnt read it at all.only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. he generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. to my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. as a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. although its commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning french or mathematics.my other comment is that the text aged. the first edition apparently dates to the 1960snone of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s. as a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.these are small points, though, and dont affect the main discussion. i recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.6according to armstrong, the goal of reading is to_.a.gain knowledge and expand ones viewb.understand the meaning between the linesc.express ideas based on what one has readd.get information and keep it alive in memory7the author of the passage insists that learning the arts_.a.requires great effortsb.demands real passionc.is less natural than learning mathsd.is as natural as learning a language8what is a shortcoming of armstrongs work according to the author?a.some ideas are slightly contradictory.b.there is too much discussion on studying science.c.the style is too serious.d.it lacks new information.9this passage can be classified as_.a.an advertisementb.a book reviewc.a feature storyd.a news report10which of the following words can best describe the authors attitude towards the book _.a.positiveb.neutralc.negatived.objective【答案】6c7a8d9b10a【解析】6细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“the goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text.”可知阅读的目的就是表达从书中读到的思想。故选c。7细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的句子“to my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. as a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind.”可知学习艺术也需要巨大的努力。故选a。8细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的句子“the first edition apparently dates to the 1960snone of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s.”可知在作者看来armstrong的作品缺少新信息。故选d。9推理判断题。阅读短文可知这篇短文中主要就armstrong写的一本书作出了评价。故这是一篇书评，选b。10观点态度题。尽管文中倒数第二段也提到了这本书的不足，但是这篇短文中的第二三段用大篇幅介绍了这本书的优点，因此作者对这本书的态度是正面的。选a。【备注】这是一篇书评。文中作者主要就armstrong写的一本书作出了评价。you make decisions, year after year, never lasting for more than a few days ending up lost and in the same place you started. allow me to suggest some tips that may help you stick to your decisions creating long lasting positive change in your life.telling other people about your plan can help in many ways. first, it is always easier to stick to a decision when you have other people supporting you. your friends are less likely to tempt you with whatever it is you are trying to control if they know that you made a decision about it. telling other people about your decision is also helpful in that it keeps us to the pressure on you to try and stick to you plan of action.choose a measurable and specific decision. instead of deciding to “look better” or “have a better relationship with so and so”, choose a more definable decision. deciding to “eat a vegetable every day” or “go out for coffee once a week with john” is much easier to track and assess than a general decision to “be a better person”.build a reward system. connected to the last tip of choosing a measurable and specific decision is that when you do accomplish this specific behavior you decided to do, give yourself small rewards along the process. for example, for every week of healthy eating treat yourself with something special.creative visual aids. a colleague of mine decided one year for his new years decision to be more frugal. he decided to try and save money by lowering his monthly bills. so he posted a copy of his highest electric bill by his heater so that every time he wanted to raise the temperature he would see the high electric bill reminding him to be more cautious about his energy consumption.11many peoples decisions cant become reality because _.a.they dont take them seriously at the beginningb.they make them but cant stick to them to the endc.they meet much difficulty in the processd.they lack support from their families12why does the writer advise telling your plan to other people?a.because they will offer you support and pressure.b.because they may reward you along the process.c.because they will temp you when you want something.d.because you will need someone to offer some visual aids.13which of the following is a specific decision?a.to look better.b.to behave better.c.to be an honest person.d.to go out for dinner with a friend once a week.14the underlined word “frugal” probably means _.a.careful with moneyb.careless with moneyc.cautious about safetyd.generous with money15the colleague posted his highest electric bill by his heater to _.a.remind himself not to use the heaterb.warn himself not to waste energyc.remember the electric bill foreverd.remind himself that he is short of money【答案】11b12a13d14a15b【解析】11细节理解题。根据第一段中的句子“you make decisions, year after year, never lasting for more than a few days ending up lost and in the same place you started.”可知有些人的决定不能实现是因为他们不能坚持到底。故选b。12细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“first, it is always easier to stick to a decision when you have other people supporting you. telling other people about your decision is also helpful in that it keeps us to the pressure on you to try and stick to you plan of action.”可知把你的决定告诉别人能获得别人的支持，并给自己带来压力。故选a。13细节理解题。根据第三段中的句子“choose a more definable decision”描述可知“measurable and specific decision”指的是可以确定的决定。根据“deciding toeat a vegetable every dayorgo out for coffee once a week with john is much easier to track and assess than a general decision to be a better person.”可知每周和朋友出去吃一次饭是特殊的决定。故选d。14词义猜测题。根据后一句“he decided to try and save money by lowering his monthly bills.”他决定通过降低每月的账单来试着省钱。可知前一句指的是要更节俭。故选a。15细节理解题。根据最后一段中的句子“so that every time he wanted to raise the temperature he would see the high electric bill reminding him to be more cautious about his

other books suggest wonderful things will happen when you organize your home. one book says that if you throw out 50 things from yourhome, you will actually find your life. 18 and still others promise
