| Sometimes I think Dad loves that dog more than he loves us, 1 I don't get jealous when Dad spends time with his 2 . When Dad takes his family out for a picnic, Pluto always gets to go along anyway. The moment Dad arrives from the office, he 3 in a room or behind the door and yells, "Pluto, come and get me." Pluto 4 runs around trying to find his lost 5 . Pluto usually wins and his victory is celebrated with his favorite biscuits. Dad's 6 with Pluto are like the dog isn't a dog at all but another human being and that's the scary part. Has Dad 7 the ability to distinguish (区别) between a man and an animal? I was 8 enough about this. So one day I gathered my 9 and asked him. "Dad, do you know you talk to that dog of yours just like to a human being?" Dad looked me 10 in the eye. I thought he might be 11 at my question. But he just smiled, reached out and patted my head and said, "Yes I do,and the reason is 12 . If I talk down to him, he doesn't 13 me but if I carry on a normal conversation, then Pluto 14 everything I say." I stood there wanting to ask more 15 , but decided that was not the best time. And so for a few days, I 16 everything I could about my father and the dog. And I know the dog never receives direct 17 . He never hears sit, lie down or anything like that. What he 18 are suggestions, "Would you like me to feed you now? Shall we go for a walk?" What's amazing is that Pluto does 19 everything Dad says. Their communication is as near to being perfect as possible. And it's not 20 Pluto that understands, but it's Dad, too. Each seems to know what the other needs at any time. | ||||

A few days ago, I got a letter from a student. In his letter, he told me, “I have this friend at school. She’s one of my good friends but lately she has been ___36__ strange. When I talked to her the other day, she said coldly, ‘Do I look like I care?’ She was being all strange to me. She told me __37___ she thought I was a bad friend, but she still thinks I am her best friend. I am so confused.”
In my letter in reply, I gave him my advice:

I could list a few more __41__for you, but you know, __42__, the only person who knows why your friend reacted that way is your friend. My__43__ to you is to tell her how you feel. Let her know she hurt your feelings and ask why on some days she’s nice to you, and on other days she isn’t __44__ nice. It could be that your friend is making some other new friends at school and is having difficulty __45___ her old relationships. Whatever her reasons are, you should let her know that you are a unique, caring person who certainly deserves a good friendship at school, _46__ you wouldn’t have taken the time to write me.

查看习题详情和答案>>Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension
Help your child keep what he reads—a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks.
Have him read aloud. This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads. 71
Provide the right kinds of books. Make sure your child gets lots of practice—reading books that aren’t too hard. 72 . Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the overall meaning of the story.
73 . To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly—a skill known as fluency. Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly so he'll become more fluent.
Talk to the teacher. If your child is struggling hard with comprehension, he may need more help with his reading—for example, building his vocabulary or practising phonics skills.
Supplement class reading. If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic. Some prior knowledge will make his way through tougher classroom texts.
Talk about what he's reading. This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book. 74 For example:
●Before:“What interests you in this book? What doesn't?”
●During: “ 75 . Is it turning out the way you thought it would? ”
●After: “Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it?”
A. What's going on in the book?
B. Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session.
C. Reread to build fluency.
D. He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help.
E. Plus, he's not only seeing the words, he's hearing them, too.
F. Look up new words in the dictionary.
G. Do you know all the characters in the story?
