One cure for this is to stop reading and seek some distraction(分心)on purpose， then return to what you were reading with renewed attention.Perhaps the best general advice is: Do not mix play and work. When it is time to work， work hard. Devote yourself to your task and keep going as long as you can give the job full attention. You should be able to read for at least an hour or two without interruption. When you begin to feel that you are not getting as much out of your reading as you ought to， rest for a while. But if there is more work remaining to be done， make the rest period short. It is surprising how quickly you can refresh your mind by turning to something entirely different for a few minutes.What is critical is your reading speed however. If you read too slowly you give your brain the chance to wander on to something more interesting especially if what you are reading is boring！ So learning to read fast with high levels of concentration and comprehension is a far better use of time than wandering along at a slow reading speed， allowing all sorts of other thoughts to distract you.If this suggestion does not solve your problem， there is another thing you can do. Form the habit of reading in the same place each time you read. Make this place， wherever it may be， in the office or at the desk in your study， a place for concentrated reading. Write your reports and fill out your crossword puzzles somewhere else. After you have tried this for a week or two， you will find that your habits will begin to work for you.24. If you cant put your heart into what you do， you should _ .A. give it up B. turn to others C. play while working D. do something different25. The main idea of the third paragraph is that _. A. reading is a boring job for us to doB. reading slowly is an interesting activity C. speed reading prevents us from distracting D. the difference between fast and slow reading26. Which of the following can help you to improve the effect of your reading according to this passage？a. Having a rest. b. Reading fast. c. Reading in the same place. d. Reading slowly e. Reading carefullyA. b， c， d B. a， b， c C. c， d， e D. a， d， e27. This passage is probably written for those who _.A. are good at reading and speaking B. like reading everywhere at homeC. are tired of reading and writing D. are easy to distract while readingCJohns mother was coming to see me， which had worried me a lot. I was a new teacher， and I gave an honest description of the students work. In Johns case， the grades were terribly low. He couldnt read his own handwriting. But he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected(反映) his abilities.So when Johns mother entered the room， my hands were sweating(出汗). I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks. “I came to thank you，” she said， surprising me beyond speech. Because of me， John had become a different person. He talked of how he loved me， he had begun to make friends， and for the first time in his twelve years， he had recently spent an afternoon at a friends house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son. She kissed me again and left.How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without even knowing it？ What I finally came to remember was one day， several months before， when some students were giving reports in the front of the class， Mary spoke quietly， and to encourage her to raise her voice， I had said， “Speak up. John is the expert on this. He is the only one you have to convince， and he cant hear you in the back of the room.” That was it. From that day on， John had sat up straighter， paid more attention， smiled more， and became happy. And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career， and Im thankful that it came early and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference. 28. We can infer that when Johns mother entered the room， the writer felt _.A. satisfied B. nervous C. happy D. surprised29. Why did Johns mother come to visit her sons teacher？A. Because John asked her to do so.B. Because she worried about her sons poor work.C. Because she wanted to say thanks to the teacher.D. Because she wanted to know her sons performance.30. What the teacher said in paragraph 3 is intended to _.A. ask Mary to convince John B. encourage John to work hardC. encourage Mary to speak louder D. tell the students that John was the expert on that31. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. tell the story of the boy John B. share a valuable lesson with readersC. advise the readers to be kind to othersD. tell teachers how to be kind to studentsDBig Ben is the nick name for the great bell of the clock in London. The name was given in honor of Sir Benjamin Hall， who was in charge of the work when the bell was built in 1856. The clock has become a landmark of the United Kingdom and London， particularly in the visual media(可视媒体).When a television or film-maker wishes to quickly show a non-UK audience a certain location in Britain， a popular way to do so is to show an image of the Clock Tower. The Clock Tower is a focus of New Year celebrations in the United Kingdom， with radio and TV stations turning to its chimes(报时钟声)to welcome the start of the year.Londoners who live a proper distance from the Clock Tower and Big Ben can， by means of listening to the chimes both live and on the radio or television， hear the bell strike thirteen times on New Years Eve. This is possible because the speed of sound is a lot slower than the speed of radio waves.Big Ben has appeared in many films. In the 1978 version of The Thirty-Nine Steps， the hero attempted to halt the clocks progress to prevent a linked bomb(炸弹) blowing up by hanging from the minute hand of its western face. It was also used in the filming of Shanghai Knights starring Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson， and was described as being partially destroyed in the film Doctor Who. An animated version(卡通版)of the clock was also used as the setting in the Walt Disney film The Great Mouse Detective， and was shown being destroyed by a UFO in the film Mars Attacks！ 32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A. The nickname of the clock was given by Benjamin.B. The clock strikes thirteen times to welcome the New Year.C. The radio and TV make a mistake about the clocks chimes.D. Benjamin was responsible for the work when the bell was built. 33. The underlined word “halt” in Paragraph 5 probably means “_”.A. look into something B. make something work again C. get something to stop D. draw peoples attention to something34. In which of the following movies was the cock destroyed？A. Mars Attacks and Doctor Who B. Shanghai Knights and Doctor Who C. The Great Mouse Detective and Doctor Who D. The Thirty-Nine Steps and Shanghai Knights35. In which section of a newspaper would the passage be found？A. Business & Economy B. Culture & Arts C. Entertainment & Sports D.
