   Recently I read a post that teaches you to double your 41 speed and made the following claim:

   “42,the faster you can read,the more productive you can be. 43 you can double your reading speed,you can double your productivity.”

   I 44 . I think you should read slower,and focus on doing things slower. It increases your 45 ,which is a 46 definition of productivity from “doing things faster”.

   The post's argument was based on the 47 that every project involves a lot of reading — background materials,books,blog posts,and 48 . It didn't mention emails but that's another area where reading faster might seem more productive.

   And I 49 that if you can finish that kind of reading,you’ 11 get the project done faster. And then you can 50 the next task and the next and the next!You’re 51！

   But productivity isn’t about 52 ,even if we’ve been led to believe it is. It's about being effective. It's about accomplishing things — and that's about doing the most important things,not the 53 things.

   When we speed through tasks and projects,we lose perspective. We forget what’s 54 and just try to do things as 55 as possible.

   Instead,56 . Think about what’s most important,what needs to be done the most. Then clear everything else out of the way,and 57 . Do that one thing,but do it slowly,and do it very well.

   If reading is important,focus on it,and do it slowly. It’11 be much more 58 ,and so will the project. When you absolutely love what you re doing,productivity is a 59 by-product.

   So, slow down,don't speed up. Read slower — you’11 read less,60 enjoy it more.

   In a wheat field in France,a cat meets a black-bellied hamster(仓鼠) .Too far from her burrow(洞穴） to run for shelter,the wild hamster rises on her back legs to face her enemy. The cat backs away.“They’re afraid of nothing,says Alexandre Lehmamij a biologist who has worked with these wild hamsters for the past 12 years. “They fight against cats and dogs and even farmers. They try to fight against tractors." It's a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won’t go down without a fight. Because in France,where only 500 to 1,000 remain in the wild,they are in a fight for their lives.

   At the Stork and Otter Reintroduction Centre in Alsace,Lehmann and his colleagues breed captive hamsters and set the young hamsters free into the wild. But raising black-bellied hamsters isn't exactly easy. Remember,they have attitude. Forget humans 一 they don't even like each other. “You have to make sure the male and female don't kill each other ,” Lehmann says.

   Black-bellied hamsters might think of themselves as tough guys. But to a fox or an eagle,theyJ re just a four-legged snack. To survive,hamsters need to be set into a field with lots of leafy hiding places. That's a problem in Alsace,where most farmers plant com. The com hasn't sprouted(发芽） in early spring,when hamsters come out of their burrows from winter hibernation（冬眠）. In the bare fields the hamsters are easy targets for their enemies.

   Some older farmers don't want hamsters in their fields because of their reputation as crop-chewing pests. But most are willing to help,especially since the French government will pay farmers to grow early-sprouting crops such as alfalfa and winter wheat and allow hamsters to be set free on their lands. It's a way to protect not just the hamsters,but also other small animals in leafy fields.

24. By saying “It's a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won't go down without a fight” in Paragraph 1 ,the author means “ ”.

   A. The black-bellied hamsters are bom fighters

   B. The number of hamsters won’t go down quickly quickly

   C. It's good for the increase of hamsters’ population

   D. It's a quite great experience to see hamsters fighting 

25. Why is it hard to raise black-bellied hamsters?

   A. They will run into the wild.

   B. They are not fond of humans.

   C. The male and female won't live in peace.

   D. The male can't understand the female's attitude.

26. What problem do hamsters trying to survive in Alsace have?

   A. Their burrows are always taken by foxes.

   B. They are unable to feed themselves on com.

   C. Their winter hibernation is disturbed frequently.

   D. They are exposed to their enemies in early spring.

27. Those farmers who are willing to help hamsters will .

   A. plant more corn

   B. try to get rid of pests

   C. grow plants that shoot early

   D. separate them from other animals
