　　　　When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or　　 for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For　　 I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story　　 than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember　　 the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For　　 instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the　　 story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and　　 cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in　　 the speech of a 13 character.

　　 Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and　　 so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心)　　 about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of　　 English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of　　 stories or 18 is called the general reader.

　　 As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20.　　 Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21　　 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own.　　 Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases;　　 negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in　　 expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent　　 copying is a help to 25 by heart.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific 1 ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my 2 .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.” 3 a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him. 4 wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the 5 of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the 6 discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different 7 fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that 8 to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well, 9 of that. Yet I 10 if those“best years”were true in other 11 .

Then how about the field of 12 ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it 13 ,but look when these people 14 their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln 15 the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why 16 best years some after thirty? After thirty, I 17 ,most people do not want to take risks or try 18 ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was 19 trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still 20 for me.

C. last　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   D. oldest

7. A. heights 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. sizes
