Reading exercises a great influence on a person．If pictures, still or moving, accompany the reading, the memory will keep half the material for a long time．
Don’t believe those who say that bad reading cannot hurt a person．How do they know what will hurt other?Wouldn’t you rather believe the experience of the ages that says,“A man is what he has read”and“Our reading and studies carry over into our lives”?
Let’s get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading．It helps us to enlarge our minds．We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders．We learn to think and observe in new ways．We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading．All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and creatively and continuously．
Finally, reading will and must broaden my sympathies, expand my love for others and set it in action．How can a person who has a bit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and nations have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those people in every way he can and as much as he can?

The Significance and Purpose of Reading The passage mainly tells us reading can influence a person both positively and negatively．It can enlarge our minds, improve our thinking and expand our love and sympathies which in turn facilitate our actions, but bad reading also hurts． As far as I’m concerned, reading plays a very important role in life．It provides a source of satisfaction and pleasure, but also serves as a means to seek information and to acquire, develop and apply knowledge．People read to develop thinking skills, to enhance language proficiency and to broaden life experience, too． For example, people advocate learning English through reading English novels．This method did not work miracle for me until one day when I was engaged in the story, I got the same enjoyment as I read Chinese novels．Then I realized that I shouldn’t let the pressure of learning ruin my enjoyment of reading．English is not and will never be the end by itself．The world through it is more fantastic and pleasant．This is what I have got from reading． |
小博士期末闯关100分系列答案
名校名师培优作业本加核心试卷系列答案阅读下面的短文，然后从A-F选项中，为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。

A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
