You are sure to improve your English if you are determined. But you should always carry on studying. Here is a list of tips to help you.

The Internet is your friend. You probably have already used several websites for your study.

Look for magazines that relate to the subjects you might be interested in, things like Reader's

Digest, National Geographic or Nature. 【1】 If you invest in a paper copy, you can write and make notes on it.

【2】 When you are in a test, you are under pressure to understand and answer questions quickly. However, it's better to take time to experiment when preparing for exams. If you are using exam practice materials, try reading the text before the questions, and then the questions before the text.

Read for fun. Australians read a lot as you may have noticed if you travel by bus or train. 【3】 People who are good at reading are people who enjoy reading.

Practise reading quickly. Try to read in groups of words — the eyes move in little jumps when you read, they do not scan steadily. 【4】

Use the strategies of surveying, skimming and scanning, but not all the time. Another strategy you can try is to scan the text first for words you do not know. Check their meaning and pronunciation, and then read the text.

Take it with you. 【5】 Pull it out and read for a few minutes when you have nothing else to do.

Remember, practice makes perfect, so for at least 30 minutes a day.

A. Try different reading styles.

B. Put a book or a magazine in your pocket or bag when you go out.

C. You may start your own library.

D. Then see how many words you can read in one minute.

E. These can be read online or in hard copy.

F. Join in a chat room and work in groups.

G. Read something you enjoy, e.g. the Harry Potter stories.

【题目】In a computer age，a broadband Internet connection is very popular now．Whether cable or mobile broadband，today’s connections are many times faster than those in the early days. Videos play smoothly, complex websites load quickly，and files download much faster than ten years ago．And the files are much bigger too．

There’s a hidden problem：You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet. If you don’t，it's slow dial-up access for you. And for those living really far out，there may be no Internet access at all．

Technology experts often talk about the “last mile” problem，which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations．In cities and suburbs(郊区)，it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone．It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities，especially in developing countries．Internet service providers, for their part，have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely(稀疏地)populated areas．The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn’t cover the expense.

But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren’t available everywhere．

Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper more efficient fiber optics cables(光纤电缆)promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users．Still, the“last mile”problem remains hard to deal with．There will always be somewhere that doesn’t have an affordable broadband connection．But someday that might not matter．If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication，it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Internet connections have been popular everywhere．

B. Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(农村的)customers．

【2】Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that technological advancements_______.

A. make TV and telephone available everywhere

B. bring great change to people’s everyday life

C. bring faster Internet connections to users

D. make it possible for more people to use the Internet

【3】What may eventually settle the“last mile”problem?

A. The broadband connection’s getting faster．

B. The rapid progress in cell phone technology．

C. More and more Internet connections．

D. More and more Internet users.

【4】The best title for this passage may be________．
