You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. You have to “mark between the lines”. By marking you can make the most efficient kind of reading.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property (财产) right you have by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. While full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing marks on it.

Why is marking up a book indispensable to reading? First, it keeps you awake. Second, active reading is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words. Finally, marking helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

Reading a book should be like making a conversation, a conversation between you and the author. Although he knows more about the subject than you do, don’t let anybody tell you that a reader is only on the receiving end. Understanding is a two-way operation. Reading doesn’t mean being a passive empty receiver, the reader has to question himself and question the author. And marking a book can show his own judgment on author’s opinion: agreement or difference.

The author thinks “marking between the lines” is ______.

A. the most important of all           

B. more important than “reading between the lines”

C. as important as “reading between the lines”

D. not so important as “reading between the lines”

“To own a book” in the most important sense means “______”.

A. to absorb its content and make it a part of yourself 

B. to have property right by paying for it

C. to write many words of sentences on it        

D. to make a conversation with the author

The underlined word “indispensable” most probably means “______”.

A. troublesome      B. difficult   C. useless     D. necessary

By saying “Understanding is a two-way operation” the author means_______.

A. a reader will receive everything the book presents

B. the author should understand readers

C. a reader should have his own judgment of the author’s opinion

D. the author should help readers understand better

What can be the best title for the passage?

   A. How to Own a Book                        B. Mark Between the Lines

C. How to Understand Author                     D. Read Between the Lines

Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions include a very important word—“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better understand the most important thing about words and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.

Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my heart”.

When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected.

If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person. And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However, you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to change the way you feel about something.

But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.” And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”.

64.If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________.

A. you “have a heart of stone”      B. you have to “take heart”

C. you “break you heart”       D. you “speak from the bottom of the heart”

65.From the above passage we may see ________.

A. English words can all be used differently

B. some phrases do not have a fixed meaning

C. languages change with the time

D. the same word may have various meanings

66.What is the passage trying to impress the readers?

A. To explain how “heart” is used in phrases.

B. To show the author’s perfect English.

C. To tell English learners to learn English in phrases.

D. To advertise an English course.

67.Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?

A. A change of heart                         B. Open up the heart of “heart”

C. Never let your heart stand still          D. Wear your heart on your sleeve

A gadget (器具) which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.

Using the same technology as a dehumidifier (除湿器), the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air.

The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.

The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter (过滤器) and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water drops. It can produce up to 12 liters a day. The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.

Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”

The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost £800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly (粗略地) calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce.

Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.

The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.

49. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

       A. Drinking water. B. Invention.  C. Microwave.       D. Water Mill.

50. What do we learn about the machine?

       A. It works in the same way as microwaves.

       B. It is very expensive for families to afford.

       C. It absorbs steam and turns it into water.

       D. It helps to make the water clean to drink.

51. What does the passage lead us to believe?

       A. The cost of water will go up.    B. Bottled water will disappear sooner.

       C. The machine is energy saving.  D. The machine will be popular worldwide.

52. What’s the best title for the passage?

       A. A New Way to Solve Water Problem.     B. A Machine to Make Water out of Air.

       C. A Dehumidifier to Produce Water.       D. An Absolutely New Invention
