9．As he sadly passed the tea shop on the corner on his way home，he heard a voice called him．

8．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors． I feel there are a number of reasons for this．
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包围） by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices． This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves． If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food．
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight． I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops． If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．
There is a third reason for this situation． Children these days take very little exercise． They do not walk to school． When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games． Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．
The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．

7．Nowadays，most employees of local high-tech industries are below the age of 35，and for newly rising industries such as computer software and the Internet，the figure is below 30．People in this age bracket（阶层）are known as Generation-X，which is made up of those born between 1963and 1981（i．e． those aged between 17and 35）．Compared with those born from 1946t0 1960，Generation-X are typically independent，they also have their shortcomings． Employers often complain that Generation-X are a group hard to manage． Although willingness and enthusiasm are highly valued by Generation-X，they will not accept orders blindly． In short，Generation-X will not accept authoritarian（权力主义） leadership． They expect their leaders to have a detailed understanding of the job，and most importantly，to treat them as an important member of them as partners．

3．A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping culture you've never come across in China．
In the US，giving a little extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice．
Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least 7.25（45yuan）perhour，employeesreceivingtips-often waiters and waitresses-aretheexceptions．They usually only receive at least 2.13 an hour，and tips make up the difference．As the Wall Street Journal put it，"The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff．"
So how should you tip if you are in the US？
Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill．Offering an extra 15percent of the bill to the waiter or waitress in a restaurant and to the delivery man or woman is customary and expected．You can offer more for great service and less for poor service．
Yet there is an exception．For take-out food，you don't have to provide tips，though some people say that filling an order still requires work and time that deserve a little extra-but maybe a little less．
Tips are not expected at fast food restaurants，cafés or ice cream shops either，though a tip jar might be right by the cash register （收银机）．Don't feel obligated to throw some money in，but also remember that it doesn't hurt．Those workers do not rely on tips．
Other service workers also receive tips．For taxi drivers，15percent is the norm （标准），more if they help with your bags．Hairdressers often receive about 15percent of the bill．The same goes for spa therapists and tour guides．
Today，you can even pay tips on a credit card．When receiving a copy of the bill to sign，you are free to fill in how much you'd like to tip．
Though thinking about when to tip and how much you should tip causes a big headache for many Chinese people，it's important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning，things will be just fine．
25．According to the Wall Street Journal，the American system of tippingB．
A．helps restaurants profit more
B．supports satisfactory pay for waiting staff

2．I'm a speed reader．Have been since I was a teen．Mother worked for the continuing education department of a university，and they were offering a class on speed reading and needed one more person to fill out the class．I became that one person．
The class met for only an hour or two for a few weeks，but when the goal of a class is speed，you don't need to meet for long．The instructor said to make our eyes go across the lines of words as fast as they could and not to be concerned about what the words meant．I read Animal Farm in 10ten minutes．Cover to cover．The instructor asked what the book was about．I said I didn't know，but if I had to guess I'd say it was about animals on a farm．He looked displeased．
I've been speed reading ever since．I can't stop and I can't slow down．Today，for example，I plan on reading Churchill's History of the English Speaking Peoples over lunch．I hope it's more memorable than Animal Farm．
As a result of all this speed-reading，I often experience a delay between what I think I read and what something actually says．
The other day I passed by a mall with a large sign that said"Auto Theft Sale"．I thought how efficient it was for auto thieves to simply sell all the stole cars in a big tent at the mall．A half-mile later it dawned on me that the sign had said"Auto Tent Sale"．
Every time I drive through a construction zone，I gasp （屏气）．The sign says："Hit a Worker 10，000 （about 62，000 yuan）．"It reads like they're offering a reward．Of course，it's not an offer．It's just that my eyes rarely take in the last line that says，"Fine．"It's a 10，000 fine if you hit a worker．Someone really needs to rephrase that one．
Speed reading has bitten me on the backside more than once．Especially as a writer．Just ask any of my editors．

1．If you want to teach children to read，below you will find some ideas to encourage reading in our children．（36）BBut remember，simplicity is the truth．The biggest encouragement comes from us-the parents．Children who come from a home where the parents read personally，value reading and have reading materials readily available are much more likely to become readers themselves．
Make books available and accessible（可接近的）．Children who become readers almost always come from homes where books and other reading materials are present throughout the house．Don't put your children's books out the way where your child cannot see them or cannot reach them himself．（37）D
Read yourself．（38）GIf your children see that you read，that you choose to read，and that you enjoy reading，they are more likely to develop the same habit and pursue the same activity．
（39）CThere are so many inexpensive，good books out there and something given or received as a gift becomes more valuable and cherished．My children routinely receive books as gifts from their grandmother，and they get so excited when they see her coming with them．They value books because they are valued by the important people in their lives．
Above all，make your read-aloud sessions（时间） fun．This is a great start to teach children to read because children love to make sound effects．（40）EFor example，in Cinderella we always make the sound of the clock chiming as it strikes midnight，"Dong…dong…dong．"We make knocking sounds as we read The Three Little Pigs when the wolf knocks on each of the three little pigs'doors．The kids really seem to like this added interaction and activity as we read．

A．Turn off the TV and provide quiet time．
B．Some of these ideas are very simple and basic．
C．Give books as gifts at birthday time or whenever．
D．Put the books near the floor within their reach．
E．Try to add them wherever you can when you read aloud．
F．He really enjoys being able to pick out his very own books．
G．Being a role model to your children is the best way to teach children to read．
