28、 feel good about themselves. but actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself. the first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. if you're very worried about your weight or size, go

35、r dayblearners report two main difficulties in reading, which may be linked. there are too many unknown words and as a result reading is simply not a pleasure. for some students, even reading in their own language is a chore.having a wide vocabulary is essential to making sense of written language.

36、of course, this is a circular argument, because the more you read the more vocabulary you learn and the more words you know the more easily you can read. dont make the mistake of reading with your dictionary beside you, looking up every single new or doubtful word. this is laborious and prevents you

37、 from practicing the skill of prediction.sometimes in reading you find a word you know but the sense doesnt seem to fit in. this is not surprising because words have so many meanings and degrees of meaning. what is more, part of their meaning is shaped by the words around them. keep looking at the s

42、g together all their knowledge of the world with what they see on the page in front of them. that is why, when reading in our own language, we dont need to read every word. we add meaning which is not actually stated.3from supported reading to independent readinglanguage learners start by needing co

43、nsiderable support as they read. textbooks supply this support in the form of introductions that summaries the contents, glossaries, pictures, explanations of new grammar points. in your reading you need to move gradually from this support to reading more the text itself.53. according to the author,

44、 _.a. looking up the dictionary is of great help for the understandingb. reading more promotes the gaining of vocabularyc. the more you read, the less useful the dictionary will bed. the amount of vocabulary is the key to reading54. successful learners recommend _.a. trying to look first at the big

49、 yang says he has changed jobs “numerous times in the past three years and is considering quitting his present job. yangs frustration over his life as a migrant(移民) is shared by many other graduates that have moved into big cities. together they have come to be called the “ant tribe, a term created
