Hi, everyone! I am Paul Hawking, the trip leader for this weekend' s activity. It’s that time of the year again when the days are long and it is nice to sit outside and enjoy some oysters(牡蛎).

We plan to head out to the Mission Bay this Sunday for a beach picnic. You can buy fresh oysters at the Mission Bay Oyster Company and you just need to pay $6 to $l0 for each dozen, depending on the size. It' s on Sunday, June 30.

We will meet at the Student Center at 9:00 a.m. and all go together. The driving time is one and a half to two hours, and the time of return is still uncertain. Come and join us in what must now be the 4th or 5th such trip for the Outing Club.

The oyster farm has a small picnic area with chairs and barbecue grills (烧烤架). Bring some briquettes (煤球) if you would like to grill. Except for oysters, oysters and oysters, little is available there, so please bring your own food and drinks. And of course, if you have any special oyster recipes (食谱), bring them make them and share them!

The weather forecast says it's going to be sunny and around 26°C this weekend. My telephone number is 408-896-3228. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions. Remember to finish your homework before we leave for the picnic.

Reading is the key to school success and , like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”

A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrases(短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.

It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.

According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount(数量) of time that a child spends reading ,not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity . It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.

You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentence, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.

1.The sentence “Reading is the key to school success” means that reading___________.

A. helps school develop faster

B. is the key to a successful school

C. helps students go to a key school

D. can improve students’ learning results

2.Rossman tells that any child who _____________ will probably be an automatic reader.

A. turns off TV one night 4 weeks

B. reads books by the word quickly

C. spends an hour reading every day

D. gets the same grades as others in exams

3.The underlined word “stumbles” in the passage means “_____________” in Chinese.

A. 结结巴巴地读 B.全神贯注地读

C.心不在焉地读 D. 声情并茂地读

4.The best title for the passage should be “ ______________________”.

A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity

B. TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading

C. Automaticity Depends on Practice

D. Automatic readers Will Be Successful
