5．Today we'll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate（停留，凝视）．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．
Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it's one thing to improve a person's ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated（孤立的）words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．

A.1ighting and tiredness              B．one's purpose in reading
C．the length of a group of words     D．one's familiarity with the text

4．Would it surprise you to learn that，like animals，trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation？
UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined．Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest，Simard shows just how wrong he was．In fact，the opposite is true：trees survive through their co-operation and support，passing around necessary nutrition"depending on who needs it"．
Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks，making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy．This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains，and when one tree is destroyed，it affects all．
Simard talks about"mother trees"，usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend．She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation，transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow．When humans cut down"mother trees"with no awareness of these highly complex"tree societies"or the networks on which they feed，we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest．
"We didn't take any notice of it．"Simard says sadly．"Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying，but we never give them chance．"If we could put across the message to the forestry industry，we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future．

64．What would be the best title for the passage？D
A．Old Trees Communicate Like Humans
B．Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection
C．Trees Contribute To Our Society
D．Trees Are More Complex Than You Think
65．In Simard's opinion，treesC
A．compete for survival B．protect their own wealth
C．depend on each other D．provide support for dying trees
66．We can learn from the passage thatC．
A．"mother trees"are usually of no use to other trees．
B．Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard．
C．if"mother trees"are cut down，the survival for the entire forest will be affected．
D．people know much about the complex"tree societies"．
67．The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph refers toA．
A．how"tree societies"work
B．how trees grow old
C．how forestry industry develops
D．how young trees survive．

3．When I am about to go ______a plane to go______，I often think about this．（　　）

2．Happiness through Honorable Actions
Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness，happiness，goodness，and self-respect？The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as"honor"help you create this life of good feelings．
Here is an example to show how honorable actions create happiness．
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item．If we keep silent，and profit from the clerk's mistake，we would drive home with a sense of mean excitement．Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune．On the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty．We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul．
Then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness？
In the first case，where we don't tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen．Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief．In the process，we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect．We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends．We damage our own reputations（名誉） by telling others．In contrast，bringing the error to the clerk's attentioncauses different things to happen．Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable．Upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased．Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility．
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions．Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions．Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence．And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy．While the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once it's started，it's easy to continue．Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness．

62．According to the passage，the positive action in the example contributes to ourA．
A．self-respect
B．financial rewards
C．advertising ability
D．friendly relationship
63．The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal toB．
A．lying B．stealing C．cheating D．advertising
64．The underlined phrase"bringing the error to the clerk's attention"meansB．
A．offering advice to the clerk
B．telling the truth to the clerk
C．asking the clerk to be more attentive
D．reminding the clerk of the charged item
65．How does the positive cycle work according to the author？C

1．One day last summer，watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies I remembered something happened when I was young．When I was a boy of 12in South Carolina，something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage．
We lived on the edge of a wood，and every evening the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing．No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds．I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician．
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage．At first，the bird flew about the cage，but eventually it settled down in its new home．I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician．
I had left the cage out，and on the second day my new pet's mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth．The baby bird ate everything she brought to it．I was pleased to see this．Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby．
The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing，I discovered it on the floor of the cage，dead．I was shocked!What had happened!I had taken good care of my little bird．
Arthur Wayne，the famous ornithologist，happened to be visiting my father at the time．Hearing me crying over the death of my bird，he explained what had occurred．"A mother mockingbird，finding her young in a cage，will sometimes bring it poisonous （有毒的） berries （干果）．She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage．"
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage．All living creatures have a right to live free．
