1.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.

63.From the first paragraph,we know thatC.
A.people can read what they like
B.the less you read,the more time you will spend
C.there is more limited information than ever before
D.conditions ask people to use less time to know more information
64.Which of the following shows the RIGHT time order for speed-reading according to the passage?B
a.Ask for more technique.
b.Look at many words and recognize them.
c.Practise more.
A.c,a,b    B.b,a,c      C.c,b,a   D.a,c,b
65.The underlined part"you should be focused"in the third paragraph means thatA.
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
66.To speed up your reading,you couldC.
A.know it is necessary to read quickly      
B.say every word out loud
C.use something to guide your eyes   
D.underline some important words while reading.

11.One morning,more than a hundred years ago,an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep.He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem:It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired,Howe slept badly.He turned and turned.Then he had a dream.He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine.When he tried to do so,Howe ran into the same problem as before.The thread kept getting caught around the needle.The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe.They came up towards him with their spears raised.But suddenly the inventor noticed something.There was a hole in the tip of each spear.The inventor awoke from the dream,realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem.Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle,he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle.This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.
Elias Howes was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.
Thomas Edison,the inventor of the electric light,said his best ideas came into him in dreams.So did the great physicist Albert Einstein.Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.
To know the value of dreams,you have to understand what happens when you are asleep.Even then,a part of your mind is still working.This unconscious(无意识的),but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day.It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed.It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake.However,the unconscious part acts in a special way.It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first.This is why dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves".
8.The problem Howe was trying to solve wasD.
A.what kind of thread to use
B.how to design a needle which would not break
C.where to put the needle
D.how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle
9.Thomas Edison is spoken of becauseB.
A.he also tried to invent a sewing machine  
B.he got some of his ideas from dreams
C.he was one of Howe's best friends         
D.he also had difficulty in falling asleep
10.Dreams are sometimes called"secret messages to ourselves"becauseA.
A.strange images are used to communicate ideas
B.images which have no meaning are used
C.we can never understand the real meaning
D.only specially trained people can understand them.
10.Now scientists have discovered the first evidence that the animals actually behave like their masters.Just like children,they adopt a"look and learn"approach which means they can mimic (模仿) human's actions when going about their tasks.
    Biologists and psychologists at the universities of Vienna and Oxford designed an experiment to test the theory that dogs do have the ability to copy what they see,using a simple wooden box.In the study,ten owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box,sometimes using their heads to push a handle and sometimes using their hands.
    In the first part of the test,five dogs were rewarded with a piece of sausage for copying their owners'actions.The other five were rewarded with food for not copying,and using other methods.With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times,and the time taken for a dog to get it"right"on 85 percent of attempts (17 goes out of 20)was recorded.The dogs encouraged to mirror their owners reached this point almost three times sooner on average than those rewarded for not copying them.In the second part of the test,all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the method their owners used.The five dogs previously rewarded for copying their owners reached the 85 percent mark more than twice as the other five.
    In a paper published in Proceeding of the Royal Society,they concluded,"Like humans,dogs can't help imitating actions they see."Going further,they said,"The results suggest the imitative (模仿的) behavior of dogs is shaped more by their developmental interactions with humans than by their evolutionary (进化的) history of domestication (驯化)."
    Caroline Kisko,from the Kennel club,said,"A dog's behavior is influenced much like that of a child learning right from wrong and adopting similar patterns of behavior.We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore positively influence the behavior of their pets."
