The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earths surface.Groundwater moves along slowly. How slowly? Maybe 1.5 kilometres in one century. Some of this water has been underground for thousands of years.

The teacher interrupted often with comments and questions. The 18 students seemed to be into it, but it was such an oldfashionedI guess to some educatorsapproach that I decided to see what other educators thought of it.Was the read aloud technique bad or good? Was it timewasting or useful? Read these comments.“I have observed this most often in high school English classes. During aloud reading, I have observed students becoming absentminded from the teaching. While this may be a proper way for some teaching points, such as pronunciation, stress, fluency, when done for expediency (权宜),I find reading aloud to be ineffective.”Steve Johnson“We dont encourage using a lot of teaching time to read aloud in high school English classes. Reading aloud selected passages that are especially difficult or rich in meaning is a frequent practice, but the focus is on the discussion over the text rather than the reading. Another typical use of reading aloud is when the class is reading a drama, especially a Shakespeare play, but our advice is for students to read after preparation rather than doing a cold reading.”Jim Fliakas“We encourage a method that students practice reading independently, to increase their own fluency and understanding. This is done before sharing ideas with a partner, a group, or with the entire class. This method improves their understanding of the texts which are guided by the teacher.”Dave LevinIt all depends on the conditions, the students, the goal of the lesson and the style of the teacher.13. In the opinion of Steve Johnson, reading aloud_. A.may cause students to lose concentration B.is always useful for a particular purpose C.is a good way to involve every student D.is ineffective in developing students fluency14. By saying “doing a cold reading”, Fliakas meant_. A.reading something uninteresting B.reading without preparation C.reading in a cold environment D.reading while having a cold15. What is the authors attitude towards reading aloud technique? A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Worried. D.Objective阅读下列短文，从题中所给的七个选项(A、B、C、D、E和G)中,选出五个选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑EAli is from a Middle Eastern country.
