The best way to improve your reading ability is, of course, to read. The student must make a real effort to improve his speed, and if necessary his comprehension, with each exercise. Too many students read passages passively（被动的） and without judgment: they simply start at the first word and read through to the end. You should read a passage actively, selectively（选择地） and purposely. You must believe that you indeed have the ability to read faster and understand, and that you will.
Reading, like everything else in life, is best done when you’re relaxed. The key to improve it is concentration. You must be willing to break some old habits and form new ones. Extra body movement, such as turning the head from side to side, pointing at the line with a finger or pencil, or moving the lips, should be stopped immediately. Reading is mostly a mental process(大脑活动过程) and body movement helps neither speed nor comprehension. Then you should see words as part of a whole sentence or paragraph, not just in isolation(孤立), This is why a slow, word-by-word student often understands far less, or misses much of the joy and excitement of reading.
The student must learn to improve reading skills on their own, and not just when a teacher is looking over his shoulder. Reading improvement takes discipline（纪律） and effort. Don’t give up.

One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend．“One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states．"said Neville Alexander．Dutctor of the Project for the Study of Aitemative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town．
In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from Immigration．many countries have introduced language laws in the laws in the last decade．In some ,the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters． One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 " Toubon law' in France．but the idea has been copied in many counties since then．Such efforts to govern language use are often dismissed as futile by language experts．Who are well aware of the difficulty of controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process．

They are all still alive.
Li Ning, deputy director of the National Key Laboratory of Agricultural and Biological Technology, who is also a professor with the Beijing-based China Agriculture University, said, “Clone technology is actually progressing well. Dolly is the first cloned sheep after all. Like driving cars, new drivers meet with accidents more easily, but the more you drive, the easier and safer you feel. In the future, the death rate of cloned animals will be reduced with technological developments.”
“Official reports show seven locally cloned sheep are still alive. Clone technology in China is gradually approaching (接近)a level of commercialization (商业化),” Li added. But Wang Yu, deputy director of the Biological Technology Centre under the Ministry of Science and Technology, said the commercialization of clone technology depends on market demand.
1. From Dolly's death, some of the Chinese scientists________.
A. think it has dampened their enthusiasm
B. believe it died from defects in reproduction
C. think they should improve not only disease treatment techniques but also clone technology
D. are satisfied with their successes in clone
2. Li Ning took driving cars for example to show________.
A. the difficulty with clone technology
B. anything is difficult in the beginning
C. clone technology is difficult in the beginning and has a bright future
D. clone technology will be more difficult in the future
3. According to Li Ning, the Chinese clone technology is________.
A. behind some other countries
B. progressing badly
C. among the developed countries
D. actually developing well
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Learning Lessons from Dolly
B. Chinese Scientists’ Clone Enthusiasm
C. Clone Technology like Driving Cars
