To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice munications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In _36_ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and prehend _37_ can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are _38_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading _39_ at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency(缺陷) _40_ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have _41_ meaning until they are strung together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. _42_ , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing(倒退，退化) to _43_ words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over _44_ you have just read, is a mon bad habit in reading. Another habit which _45_ down the speed of reading is vocalizationsounding each word either orally or mentally as _46_ reads.To overe these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an _47_ , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate _48_ the reader finds fortable, in order to “stretch” him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, _49_ word-by-word reading, regression and sub-vocalization, practically impossible. At first _50_ is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, _51_ your prehension will improve. Many people have found _52_ reading skill drastically improved after some training. _53_ Charlce Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute _54_ the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can _55_ a lot more reading material in a short period of time.36. A. applying B. doing C. offering D. getting37. A. quickly B. easily C. roughly D. decidedly38.

B Sleep deprivation(缺失)is an important hidden factor in lowering the achievement of school pupils, according to researchers carrying out international education tests. It is a particular problem in richer countries with sleep experts linking it to the use of mobile phones and puters in bedroom late at night. Sleep deprivation is such a serious problem that lessons have to be dragged down to a lower level to suit sleep-deprived learners, the study found. The international parison, carried out by Boston College, found the United States to have the highest number of sleep-deprived students, with 73% of 9- and 10-year-olds and 80% of 13- and 14-year-olds identified by their teachers as being negatively affected. In literacy(读写能力) tests there were 76% of 9- and 10-year-olds lacking sleep. This was much higher than the international average of 47% of primary pupils needing more sleep and 57% among the secondary age group. Other countries with the most sleep-deprived youngsters were New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Australia, England, Ireland and France. High-performing Finland is also among the most lacking in sleep. Countries with the best records for getting enough sleep include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Japan and Malta.The analysis was part of the huge date-gathering process for global education rankings, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study(TIMSS)and Progress in International Reading Literacy Study(PIRLS) “I think we underestimate the impact of sleep. Our data show that across countries internationally, on average, children who have more sleep achieve higher in maths, science and reading. That is exactly what our data show,” says Chad Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center. “Its the same link for children who are lacking basic nutrition,” says Mr Minnich, based at the Lynch School of Education, Boston College. “If you are unable to concentrate, to attend mentally, you are unable to achieve at your best level, because your mind and body are in need of something more basic. Sleep is a fundamental need for all children. If teachers report such large proportions of children suffering from lack of sleep, its having a significant impact. But worse than that, teachers are having to adjust their instruction based on those children who are suffering from a lack of sleep. The children who are suffering from a lack of sleep are driving down instruction.”That means that even the children who are getting enough sleep are still suffering from this sleep-related lowering.58. What did the researchers of Boston College try to find? A. Why children dont get enough sleep B. How many hours children sleep every night C. The relationship between sleep and test results. D. The relationship between sleep and health59. Many children suffer from sleep deprivation because _. A. they sit in front of the TV for too long B. they can hardly sleep soundly and deeply C. their homework occupies too much of their time D. modern technological devices consume a lot of their time60. Why are children who get enough sleep also victims? A. Because they are disturbed by sleep-deprived students B. Because teaching is driven down by sleep-deprived students C. Because they have to spend time helping sleep-deprived students D. Because the teachers waste time disciplining sleep-deprived students C I call my story the story of a bad boy, partly to distinguish myself from those faultless young gentlemen, and partly because I really was not an angle. I may truthfully say I was a friendly, impulsive(易冲动的)teenager. I didnt want to be an angel. In short, I was a real human boy, such as you may meet anywhere in New England. Whenever a new scholar came to our school, I used to ask him “ My names Tom Bailey; whats your name?” If the name struck me favorably, I shook hands with the new pupil cordially, but if it didnt, I would turn and walk away, for I was particular on this point. I was born in Rivermouth almost fifty years ago, but, before I became very well acquainted with that pretty New England town, my parents moved to New Orleans. I was only eighteen months old at the time of the move, and it didnt make much difference to me where I was, because several years later, when my father proposed to take me North to be educated, I had my own view on the subject. I instantly kicked over the little boy, Sam, who happened to be standing by me at the moment, and declared that I would not be taken away to live among a lot of Yankees! You see I was what is called “ a Northern man with Southern principles,” I had no recollection of New England: my earliest memories were connected with the South. I knew I was born in the North, but hoped nobody would find it out. I never told my schoolmates I was a Yankee, because they talked about Yankees in a scornful way which made me feel that it was quite a shame not to be born in the South. And this impression was strengthened by Aunt Chloe, who said, “There wasnt no gentlemen in the North no way.” With this picture of Northern civilization in my eye, the readers will easily understand my terror at the bare thought of being transported to Rivermouth to school, and possibly will forgive me for kicking over little Sam, when my father announced this to me. As for kicking little Sam, I always did that, more or less gently, when anything went wrong with me. My father was greatly troubled by this violent behavior. As little Sam picked himself up, my father took my hand in his and led me thoughtfully to the library. He appeared strangely puzzled on learning the nature of my objections to going North. “Who on earth, Tom, has filled your brain with those silly stories?” asked my father calmly. “Aunt Chloe, sir, she told me.” My father devoted that evening and several evenings to giving me a clear account of New England: its early struggles, its progress, and its present condition. I was no longer unwilling to go North; on the contrary, the proposed journey to a new world full of wonders kept me awake nights. Long before the moving day arrived I was eager to be off. My impatience was increased by the fact that my father had purchased for me a fine little Mustang pony, and shipped it to Rivermouth two weeks before the date set for our own journey. The pony pletely resigned me to the situation. The ponys name was Gitana, which is the Spanish for “gypsy”, so I always called her Gypsy. Finally the time came to leave the vine-covered mansion among the orange-trees, to say goodbye to little Sam(I am convince he was heartily glad to get rid of me), and to part with Aunt Chloe. I imagine them standing by the open garden gate; the tears are rolling down Aunt Chloes cheeks; they and the old home fade away. I am never to see them again!61. The underlined word “cordially” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_”. A. sincerely B. unbelievably C. officially D. closely62. The second paragraph is intended to _. A. support Toms opinion that he is a “faultless young gentlemen” B. show just how much confidence
