As he held it to the light, it was shinning. He felt it would suit the crown (皇冠).One morning, the king awoke and upon taking out his precious treasure, he found, much to his astonishment, there was a single thin crack running down its face. The greatest jewelers were called in to look at the stone in the hope of fixing it, but nothing could be donethe crack ran so deeply down the face of the diamond that any effort to remove it would ruin the diamond. Finally, one jeweler, a simple man from one of the neighboring villages, stepped forward, saying that he would save the diamond. The king laughed. The greatest jewelers in the world had seen the stone and considered it hopeless, how could a simple jeweler hope to do anything?Seeing there was nothing to lose, the king informed the jeweler that he could spend a single night with the diamond. If he managed to fix it, he would get great reward. If, however, he did not succeed, a bitter lot would wait for him.Locked in the room, the jeweler took a long look at the stone. It was true that the crack could not be removed without destroying the precious diamond in the process. What could be done? The next morning, the jeweler came out with the stone in hand and a smile on his face.When the diamond was shown, everyone let out a cry of amazement.

A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it automaticity (自动性).A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesnt have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text. It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.27. Reading is the key to school success means that reading _.A. helps students go to a key schoolB. can improve students learning results C. helps school develop faster D. is a key to a successful school28. Children with automaticity can read faster because they _.A. know how to read the wordsB. pay attention to the meaning of the text C. read by themselves without any helpD. do not have to think while they are reading29. Rossman tells that any child who _ will possibly be an automatic reader.A. spends an hour reading every day B. reads books by the word quicklyC. turns off TV one night 4 weeksD. gets the same marks as others in exams30. The best title for the passage is _.A. IQ Is the Key to the AutomaticityB. TV Is Bad for Childrens ReadingC. Automatic Reads Will Be SuccessfulD. Automaticity Depends on Practice 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。请将下面的题目答案涂在答题卡71-75处Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.
