My uncle is the owner of a restaurant close to that I live. Though not very big, but the restaurant is popular in our area. It is always crowded with customers at meal times. Some people even had to wait outside. My uncle tells me that the key to his success is honest. Every day he makes sure that fresh vegetables or high quality oil are using for cooking. My uncle says that he never dreams becoming rich in the short period of time. Instead, he hopes that our business will grow steady.
【答案】
【1】that→where
【2】but
【3】had→have
【4】honest→honesty
【5】or→and
【6】using→used
【7】dreams后面加of
【8】(in) the→(in) a
【9】our→his
【10】steady→steadily
【解析】
【1】that →where 考查定语从句。引导词在从句中充当地点状语,所以that改为where。句意:我的叔叔是一家离我住的地方很近的餐馆的老板。
【2】but 考查连词。从属连词though与并列连词but不可以连用,所以去掉but。
【3】had→have 考查动词的时态。整篇文章描述的是现在的一般性情况,应该用一般现在时,所以had改为have。
【4】honest→honesty 考查名词。句意:成功的关键是诚信。“诚信”应用名词形式,所以honest改为honesty。
【5】or→and 考查连词。由上下文句意可知,他确保fresh vegetables和high quality oil被用来烹煮食物,而不是二选一,所以or改为and。
【6】using→used 考查被动语态。句意:新鲜的蔬菜和高品质的油被用来煮食物。要用被动语态,所以using改为used。
【7】dreams后面加of 考查动词短语搭配。dream of doing sth.“梦想做某事”,所以在dreams后加上of。
【8】(in) the→(in) a 考查冠词。根据上下文可知,表示“在一段短暂的时间内”,并没有特指在哪一段时间,所以应该把the改为a。
【9】our→his 考查代词。根据上下文可知,餐厅主人是我叔叔,所以应该把our改为his。
【10】steady→steadily 考查副词。grow是一个动词,表示“发展”,应该用副词修饰,表示“稳定地发展”,所以把steady改为steadily。

Deep reading, as opposed to superficial (shallow) reading we do on the Web, is an endangered practice, one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art.
Recent research has illustrated that deep reading, characterized as a unique experience different kind from the mere understanding of words, is slow, immersive (沉浸的), rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity. Although deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a conventional book, the limits of the printed page are uniquely helpful to the deep reading experience. A book’s lack of hyperlinks (超链接), for example, frees the reader from making decisions—should I click on this link or not—allowing her to remain fully absorbed in the story.
That immersion is supported by the way the brain handles language rich in detail, indirect reference and figures of speech: by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if the scene were unfolding in real life. The emotional situations and moral dilemmas that are the material of literature are also vigorous (有活力的) exercise for the brain, driving us inside the heads of fictional characters and even, studies suggest, increasing our real-life capacity (能力) for recognition.
None of this is likely to happen when we’re browsing through a website. Although we call the activity by the same name, the deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are very different, both in the experience they produce and in the capacity they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less satisfying, even for the “digital natives” to whom it is so familiar. Researchers reported that 39% of children and teens read daily using electronic devices, but only 28% read printed materials every day. Those who only read onscreen were three times less likely to say they enjoy reading very much and tell which book they like best. The study also found that young people who read daily only onscreen were nearly twice less likely to be above-average readers than those who read daily in print or both in print and onscreen.
All in all, the disappearance of deep reading would harm the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as the preservation of a critical part of our culture: the novels, poems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains have been trained to understand them.
