There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding.1. .

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else.2. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding.And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started.Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand.Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader.The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding.3. Otherwise one person could never learn from another.Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding.4. Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack.Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree.And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer.If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.

5. It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort.Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to.In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.

A.Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.

B.Such communication between unequals must be possible.

C.We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

D.The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.

E.The writer should have a better communicating skill.

F.Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment.

G.Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

In Britain and other countries,young people sometimes take a “gap year,” a year off between high school and college.This idea never gained a big following in America.Recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing,though there are no official numbers.

Charles Deacon,Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington,D.C.,estimates that in the current first-year class of 1,600 students,only about 25 decided to take a year off.He says this number hasn’t changed much over the years.

Mr.Deacon says the most common reason for taking a “gap year” is to have a chance to travel,but he says international students may take a “gap year” to meet requirements at home for military duty.

Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education,but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests.Students hoping to be doctors,for example,could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.

Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission.Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.

The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called “Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation.” It praises the idea of taking time off to step back,think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies.It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.

Of course,a gap year is not for everyone.Students might miss their friends who go on directly to college,and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off.Another concern is money.A year off,away from home,can be costly.

Holly Bull’s job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year.She notes that several books have been written about this subject.She says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off,and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.

A.If you want to go to an American university,take a gap year first.

B.More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.

C.It is likely that taking a “gap year” is becoming popular in America.

B.some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences

C.taking a‘gap year’can make students free from life learning

D.the stress of studies does harm to the students’ health

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Charles Deacon doesn’t support the idea of the students’ taking a “gap year”.

B.Books and media have contributed to the students’ interest in school learning.

C.Parents might disagree with the program,concerned about their children’s future.

D.Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically.

What’s your opinion about finding good friends? Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.

The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor and sensitivity. A friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.

Even the best friends can still have arguments between themselves, though usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, while a bad example of a friend would simply shrug and turn a blind eye.

Not only the bad things affect friendship ---good activities do too, such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them, but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.

Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.

Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.

I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.

1.According to the author, true friendship _____.

A. is easy to get B. needs management

2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about _____.

A. why drugs are bad for teenagers

B. whether a friend is reliable

C. ways that help avoid arguments

D. problems that will test friendship

3.According to the author, which matters least in friendship?

A. Confidence B. Age

C. Sense of humor. D. Communication.

4.Which of the following sayings can match the author's view on friendship?

A. Old friends and old wines are best.

B. A friend without faults will never be found.

C. A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

D. A life without a friend is a life without a sun.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项.

1. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to. Here's how :

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide on a good, regular time for studying. 2. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to work, concentrate on the subject!

Make good use of your time in class. 3. . Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from class, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. 4. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.

Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help make your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
