This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 41 . Some stories are old 42 they were true. Real people who live in a 43 world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 44 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 45 for us.But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 46 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we 47 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 48 Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 49 .

We use our 50 which is realand our imaginationwhich is real in a different way to make the words come to life in our minds.Both realism and fantasy (幻想) 51 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 52 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 53 that we are real and they are 54. It sounds 55, but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 56 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 57 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.Most of us probably dont think about what is going on in our 58 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 59 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 60 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.41. A. possibleB. easy C. new D. different42.

In the State of New Jersey, 84 percent of 968 cell phone owners said in a recent telephone survey that they would support a state ban on the use of cell phones while driving. However, 42 percent of cell phone owners also said they used the devices very often or sometimes while driving. Although most agree that the banning is good, only 38 percent believed such a ban would be easy to enforce. New York: a woman in the US who was being attacked by a vicious dog said she was saved from further harm when her 13-year-old daughter distracted the canine by screaming You want a piece of me? and kicked it repeatedly in the head.

It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a very dangerous game with its environment(环境), a game in which it must make decisionsa matter of life or death .Animals ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning”, which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a species animals of the same kindas a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game . Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next, it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive.66.

Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle.

The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home.

An Organization for WomenDOne silly question I simply cant stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in actiona man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? Hell probably say, “Fine, Im all right,” but you have put a bug (小虫子) in his earmaybe now hes not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked (忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. Its perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if youre visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, its no asking him that silly question.When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him. “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or youre dead.” 74.
