22、ublic humiliation. When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they know all the words they are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught f
23、ifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously. One day soon after school had started, I said to them, Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never hea
24、rd a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enoug
25、h for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean. The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said
26、 slowly and seriously, “Mr Holt, do you really mean that? I said just as seriously, I mean every word of it.” During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, It cant be, and we
27、nt to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts. I said, Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going? She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.” This is exactly what reading should be and in school so se
28、ldom is an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of understanding that can be dug out of
29、 a book. 41. According to the passage, childrens fear and dislike of books may result from _. A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurously C. being made to read too much D. being made to read aloud before others 42. The teacher told his students to read _. A. for enjoymen
30、t B. for knowledge C. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams 43. Upon hearing the teachers talk, the children probably felt that _. A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at all C. it sounded too good to be true D. it was no different from other teachers talk 44. Which of the f
31、ollowing statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage? A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading. B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks. C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books. D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to
32、this school. 45. From the teachers point of view, _. A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D. reading involves understanding every little piec
33、e of information B Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentages, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data. Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph
34、 is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title, a main idea, and supporting details .You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text. Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or key, and labeled
35、 axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the authors main point as well. The title is v
36、ery important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner. Usually these axes are
37、the left side and the bottom of the graph .Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures. Bar Graphs A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1, we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows how many students
38、earned each grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1). Line Graphs A line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of bars, it plots po
39、ints and connects them with a line .It has the same parts as a bar graph two labeled axes and can be read the same way. To read a line graph, its important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points, This type of graph is most commonly used to show how so
40、mething changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2). The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that ,on the first day, the pipit flew 2
41、0 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled dawn, as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader
42、about the birds migration. Pie Graphs A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole
43、. A pie graph might include a legend，or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows on months expense (See Graph 3 ). Food $ 25 Movies $ 12 Clothing $ 36 Savings $ 20 Books $ 7 46. When used in a graph，a legend is_ A. a guide to the symbols and colors B. an introduction para
44、graph C. the main idea D. the data 47. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better ? A .4. B.6. C.10. D.20 . 48. The bird covered the longest distance on _ A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 49. Which of the following cost Amy most ? A. Food. B. Books C. Movies D. Clothing. C If h
45、umans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars，we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the suns light. This is a basi
46、c evolutionary fact, even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences called light pollution whose
47、effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. -designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels and light rhythms to w
48、hich many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected. In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. Weve grown so used
49、 to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit nigh, - dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost. Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing, Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being“captured”by searchlights on land or by the li
