19．You must have written your research paper，your personal essay，your book review-whatever your school class requires．You think you have provided good information in the needed number of words．（36）C
But is it really done？Many teachers and professional writers believe that writing is revision．（37）G
Revision of writing is a necessary skill for students．The classroom is a good place to practice patience，concentration and listening．There are rewards with spending time with your thoughts and really taking time to compose your ideas in an orderly and reasonable way．You should put away your paper after you have written a first version，or draft．Wait several hours，maybe overnight，before working on it more．（38）DNot only are you refreshed，but you're looking at things through different eyes．That's what revision literally means-to see again through different eyes．
Following a four-step process may help you with your paper．The first step in the process is invention．It includes forming many questions about your subject．It is called"question-storming"．（39）BThen comes the revision period．Take your time to read what you've written，to think about it，and maybe to re-shape it based on what you see now，as a kind of new person looking at it with a reader's eyeglasses rather than a writer's．The fourth step is called"publication"．（40）E In a sense，anytime you turn it over to another person，that's publication．
Probably，the process takes away some of the tension of writing．And worry about the quality of your writing often disappears when you share that writing．

A．Perfect writing is not possible．
B．In the second step，you draft and compose a paper．
C．And you feel good because your work is finished．
D．This is just like returning to a job after a vacation．
E．This does not mean your writing is professional publication．
F．What is most important is getting your thoughts and ideas on paper．
G．In other words，writing well means making needed changes and rewriting．

2．How to become a better reader
Language and literacy（读写能力） are among humans'greatest inventions．Evolving（演变） over the course of human history，languages are a reflection of our cultural and societal attitudes．Today，surrounded（包围） by social med ia，television，movies，and，of course，books，the ability to read and write is important to expressing one's feelings．Most humans acquire language in early childhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old，but our continued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives．（36）E
（1）Take it slow．Many readers feel that they read too slowly，especially compared with others．（37）BThe best readers are flexible（灵活的）-slowing down when needed-and always have a dictionary at hand．
（2）Read aloud．When humans first began reading written words，it was unusual to read in silence．（38）FTry listening to the author reading their own work-you'll be surprised to find how clearly it comes through on the page．
（3）Write．Writing and reading go hand-in-hand：how and what you read affects how and what you write，and the best readers often make the best writers．But while much can be learned from close，repeated readings，there are many pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing．（39）C
（4）Tell your friends．All of the literature is essentially communication from an individual's inner voice to an audience．（40）DIt's a good way to see the world from someone else's eyes and，in the process，carefully examine your own reaction to what you're reading．

A．Can you remember the first piece of writing that transported you to another world？
B．But the truth is that the faster you read，the less likely you are to understand fully what you're reading．
C．Try writing every day for a month，and you will never read the same again．
D．There is something magical about sharing books with friends or a book club．
E．Here are 4 ways to become a better reader．
F．Reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability．
G．In no time，you'll be appreciating novels like fine wine．

9．Do you know when India gained itsindependence （independent） from Britain？

6．Agriculture（农业） in this country has developed greatly after liberation．

7．Why do men die earlier than women？The latest research shows that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline （衰弱）when they reach middle age．
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity  may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age．
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25percent between 18and 70years of age，"said the head of the study，David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK．
"Within the heart there are millions of cells（细胞） that enable it to beat．Between the ages of 20and 70，one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men，"said Goldspink．"This is part of the ageing process．"
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells．A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's．
"This gender（性别） difference might just explain why women live longer than men，"said Goldspink．
They studied more than 250healthy men and women between the ages of 18and 80，focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease．
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll （造成损失）on the male heart，said Goldspink．
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise．Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age．
