Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our time together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1. What does the author think of her father before her visit to Tucson?

A. He was silent most of the time.

B. He was too proud of himself.

C. He expected too much of her.

D. He did not love his children.

2. When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel ____ .

A. tired B. nervous C. sorry D. Strict and hare-working.

3. What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A. Gentle and friendly. B. More talkative.

C. More critical. D. Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to _____ .

A. the author’s son

A 15-year-old boy was injured in a car accident when the car he was traveling in was hit by a truck at a street corner. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital. The doctors said it appeared that the boy had nothing more serious than a broken left leg, but there was a possibility that the boy might have some inside injuries. The boy was conscious(清醒的) when he was sent to the hospital. Luckily, his mother, who was driving, was uninjured. She said that the truck appeared so suddenly that she thought she was going to die. She turned her car sharply to the left, and the truck hit it on the passenger side.

The driver of the truck was a 50-year-old man who was unemployed and it was clear that he had been drinking because the police found 18 empty beer cans inside his truck. However, the man denied drinking even if he had failed the police test for drinking, saying, “No, I haven’t drunk anything.” When asked to touch his nose , ears, and mouth with his eyes closed, he was unable to touch any part of his head.

So the police put him into the back seat of a police car. But the man kept crying, “Mabel, where is my Mabel? I can’t find her now. I want my Mabel.” The police asked him if Mabel was his wife. He said, “She’s my dog, my dog! Where’s my baby?” Later in the day, the police found a dog with a ring around her neck, on which was written “Mabel” half a block away from where the accident happened. Perhaps the man was looking for his pet dog after drinking when the accident happened. As a result, the man was taken to the city jail for driving after drinking and it seemed that Mabel would be left alone.

1.Which of the following is true about the accident ?

A. The boy’s mother was injured.

B. The boy was driving the car.

C. A car ran into a truck at a corner.

D. The truck driver drank beer.

2.How did the mother feel when she saw the truck coming ?

A. amazed B. frightened

C. puzzled D. concerned

3.What did the doctors think of the boy ?

A. He was OK because he was conscious.

B. He may be injured inside.

C. His right leg was broken.

D. He was going to die of a broken leg.

4.which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “denied” in the second paragraph?

A. admitted B. determined C. disagreed D. preferred

So much to do, so little time. So much information, so little time to read it. In this age there is more information than ever before. There is not enough time to read everything we want to read. However, you can consume more information in shorter time through speed-reading.

The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it. Don’t say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its importance. Later you will recognize clumps of four words or more to increase your speed. This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.

The next step is technique. As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique. You should first be sitting up straight with your book flat on a horizontal (水平的) surface such as a table or a desk. Next, you should be able to see the entire page. This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words. Lastly, you should be focused. It is hard to read with a lot of noise. Find a quiet place to read. This will help your understanding of the text.

You need something to guide your eyes while reading. You should use your finger. Move your finger smoothly across the page. Keep your eyes focused on the words as you recognize them while using your finger as a guide. This will increase your speed.

The third step is practice. Practice makes perfect. Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you are reading.

1.From the first paragraph, we know that _______.

A. there is more limited information than ever before

B. conditions ask people to use less time to know more information

C. people can read what they like

D. the less you read, the more time you will spend

2.Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?

a. Ask for more technique.

b. Look at many words and recognize them.

c. Practise more.

A. c, a, b B. c, b, a C. b, a, c D. a, c, b

3.The underlined part “you should be focused” in the third paragraph means that .

A. a person should devote all his attention to reading

B. your feelings will be hurt while reading

C. a person should forget his difficulties while reading

D. you should pay attention to your faults while reading

4.To speed up your reading, you could .

A. use something to guide your eyes

B. say every word out loud

C. know it is necessary to read quickly

D. underline some important words while reading
