Skimming and scanning is a good method when you don’t have enough time, such as when you are taking an exam, but, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.
In response to this, something called the “slow reading movement” has become popular. The idea is that people should 68 their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasure of reading a good book---slowly and quietly!
Researchers have found that reading slowly, especially books of fiction, helps people relax and think about what they are reading. It also helps people get to understand the characters’ emotions and to see the world 69 the characters’ eyes.
Reading, of course, isn’t easy. You have to sit still for one thing. And it can seem 70 when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has always been a pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I’ve enjoyed the company (陪伴)of heroes, of evil criminal and clever detectives, of thousands of interesting people I would have never met 71 . Reading provided me with escape, but it also enabled me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.
In your classroom, you have learned to read “fast.” 72 , outside of the classroom, you should try to learn to read “slow.” You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
68. A) care for B) deal with C) turn off D) take out
69. A) through B) with C) into D) around
70. A) strange B) interesting C) boring D) attractive
71. A) in the book B) on the Internet C) at school D) in real life
72. A) For example B) Finally C) However D) What’s more
C:Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给):(10分)
One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend, Rick. Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor. When he a 73 , Simon went straight to the first floor of the building. But he was told that there was no Rick on that floor. Do you know why
In fact, the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor. The floor a 74 the ground floor is the first floor, which Americans would call the second floor.
The story shows that there are a few culture d 75 between Britain and America, though the British and Americans both speak English.
The British usually hide their feelings. They s 76 start a conversation with strangers. For example, on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books, But Americans are quite different. They're more active and e 77 to talk with.
The British and Americans may use different tens for many things. The British usually use football, eraser and mail while Americans prefer to use soccer, rubber and post.

He had spent those years well, graduating from college, completing two internship (实习) in Washington, D.C., and finally, becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento. However, he had lived away from home except for short holiday visits. With his younger sister leaving for college, I was especially happy to have Marc back. Since I was still making lunch for his younger brother, I packed one for Marc, too. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from my 24-year-old son, asking about his lunch.
“Did I do something wrong Don’t you love me any longer, Mom ” he asked.
