A proven method for effective textbook reading is the SQ3R method developed by Francis Robinson. The first is to survey (the S step) the chapter by reading the title, introduction, section headings, summary., and by studying any graphs, tables, illustrations or charts. The purpose of this step is to get an overview of the chapter so that you will know before you read what it will be about.  In the second step (the Q step), for each section you ask yourself questions such as "What do I already know about this topic?" and "What do I want to know?" In this step you also take the section heading and turn it into a question. This step gives you a purpose for reading the section. The third step (the first of the 3 R's) is to read to find the answers to your questions. Then at the end of each section, before going on to the next section, you recite ( the second of the 3 R's) the answers to the questions that formed in the question step. When you recite you should say the information you want to learn out loud in your own words. The fifth step is done after you have completed step 2, 3 and 4 for each section. You review (the last of the 3 R's) the entire chapter. The review is done much as the survey was in the first step. As you review, hold a mental conversation with yourself as you recite the information you selected as important to learn. The mental conversation could take the form of asking and answering the questions formed the headings or reading the summary, which lists the main ideas in the chapter, and trying to fill in the details for each main idea.

The passage implies that the SQ3R method           .

   A. needs to be prove                B. leaves much to be desired

   C. turns out to be practicable         D. cannot be used by every reader

The SQ3R method consists of steps           .

   A. three        B. four        C. five        D. seven

According to the passage, the first step helps the readers           .

   A. read the first several paragraphs     B. scan the whole chapter

   C. study the graphs                 D. get the theme of chapter

Which of the following statements is true?

   A. In the last step, you should remember all the information.

   B. When you finish the last step, you will get both the main idea and the details.

   C. The mental conversation involves answering the questions asked by the author.

Dear Robert,

Thank for your letter of May 12th. How glad I was when I get it. I’d

be very happy to be your pen friends. Now allow me introduce myself to

you. I’m a boy student aging seventeen, study in Senior Three of Hongqi

High School. I’m a monitor of my class. I am about to take National

Matriculation Entrance Examination after twenty days, that is,

between June 7 and 8．You know. I want very much to be a doctor working

for poor peasants that I try to make fully use of every hour

and study far into the night every day.

    Best wishes！

                                                   Yours truly

It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.
　　Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
　　As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

The unknown world's mystery
The sea is the biggest unknown part of our world. It covers seventy-one percent of the earth. There is still much to be discovered about this vast blanket of water. If the waters of the ocean could be removed, the sea floor with its wide valleys, irregular, mountains and rivers in the sea. would be an unbelievable sight.

Tourists an now explore the world beneath the waves without ever getting wet. From tourist submarines to underwater dining, undersea tourism is making a big splash.
Tourist submarines(潜艇）
The popularity of submarine tours has grown rapidly in the last decade. Now, tourist submarines operate in more than 20 locations worldwide, including the waters around Okinawa and Taiwan' s Green Island. The submarines carry nearly 2 million tourists each year. Large windows offer passengers spectacular views as the submarines explore colorful coral reefs and sunken ships. Most one-hour tours cost about US $ 80.
Underwater dining
For a more upscale experience, tourists can enjoy fine dining under the sea.  Last summer the Hilton Maldives Resort opened the world's first underwater restaurant, Ithaa.  Diners walk down a staircase into the restaurant, which rests 35 feet beneath the waves of the Indian Ocean. Transparent walls surround the dining area, and you can treat guests to a panoramic(全景)ocean view.
But this excellent view doesn't come cheap. The tasting menu costs US $ 200 per person. Be sure to make reservations early, too. The restaurant seats only 14 people.

Newcastle, one of the fastest developing cities in the United Kingdom, is beginning to draw tourists from all corners of Europe. It’s said most visitors come here to see the famous soccer team play. The mood of the locals is often changed by the success or failures of the local team.

Newcastle’s most popular place is the Gate, which is in the center of the city and has many attractions including bars, restaurants, sports bars, pubs and so on. During a home game it becomes a real home to happiness.

Culture and local history lovers can make their dreams come true by taking one of the local city tour buses. They come and leave every few minutes and stop at all the important historical sites in the city. Also the seats and the environment on the buses are comfortable. It’s the best way to see the city without tiring yourself out or getting cold. Places such as the Hancock Museum and Millennium Bridge are must-see attractions.
