Do you like chocolate? Maybe most people do．A box of it can be a great gift．Buy one for a friend and give it as a surprise．See how happy that person gets．
Say you just got a box of chocolate．Which piece do you pick first? A man has studied people’s choices．He says they tell something about the person．Did you choose a round piece? You are a person who likes to party．Did you choose an oval(椭圆形的)shape? You are a person who likes to make things．Picking a square shape shows something else．The person is honest and truthful．You can depend on him or her．
What kind of chocolate do you pick? Maybe you like milk chocolate．This shows you have warm feelings about the past．Dark chocolate means something else．A person who chooses it looks toward the future．What about white chocolate? Would you choose it? If so, you may find it hard to make up your mind．Some people like chocolate with nuts(果仁)．These are people who like to help others．
Do you believe these ideas? Can candy tell all these things? It doesn’t really matter．There is one sure thing about eaters of chocolate．They eat it because they like it．

阅读理解
You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．
Perhaps you have been told about some habits (习惯) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．
Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．
(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?
(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
(4)Do you read one word at a time?
If you answer“yes”to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit．If you move your tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move，your will know it and can stop them．
If you point to words，hold the two sides of your book，one side with your left hand，the other side with your right hand．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head，place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的)．
If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time，you need to work very hard in learning to take in (吸收) more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
Even if you do rather fast now，you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told，the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
