9．When students complete a book，they consider the job of reading done．When they are asked what they have got from the book，quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot（情节）．But if we ask them more detailed questions，they have nothing to say．In fact，that is not what a good reader is supposed to do．
To be a good reader，firstly，is to know the background．We need knowledge of the life story of the writer，the culture and society in which the story takes place，Otherwise，it is hardly possible for us to better understand the book or come to realize the theme．
Then，we start to read the book．A good reader will not stop since he has already made a good preparation．He goes through the whole book to get the general idea of it instead of reading off and on．
Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations（注释） when there is something impresses us deeply．It helps us get close to the mind of the writer．Many students underestimate（低估）the importance of writing annotations．They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write annotations．It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing，but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time．
Finally，a good reader needs to write a book report．It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report．We start to think of the characters，the plots and the theme．Some say it is boring but in fact it is fun if we do it．Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader．
All of us move our eyes back and forth from words to sentences to paragraphs．However，as a good reader，we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten

8．You eat to stay fit and keep your body working，right？Then reading is good for your mind and soul．Reading informs you of what's happening around．Reading encourages you to think and imagine，think out of the box and imagine the impossible．
In the past，people just read books，only books．Today，we have books online，which makes reading easy．The web，our new storehouse of information，is just a click away．But this is in no way has stolen the magic of reading books，the sound of their pages fluttering（翻页）and the smells of…You can lie in bed with a book，but with a computer you possibly can't．No matter how you read，reading is important．
Remember those bedtime stories？We read fun facts about animals，plants and the universe．We ask"why"and"how"．In books，we find the answers．Children who are introduced to reading at an early age seem to have a better understanding of phonics（语音学）．They master language skills easily，have a richer vocabulary and have greater reading abilities．Children，who grow up reading good books，mostly stand out．The way they think and act is very different from those who have never been introduced to reading．Reading not only adds to their knowledge but also shape their personalities．
The more you read，the more creative you will become．Reading develops vocabulary，improves language skills and sharpens（使敏捷）your problem-solving abilities．Reading gives you knowledge and make you more confident．The more you read about others'life experiences，the better decision-maker you will become．

7．Dear Alan，
Guess what？I have a chance to choose my new place to live in!I'm excited and a little nervous．Could you please give me some help？
I'm not sure whether I will live in a house or in an apartment．On the one hand，a house will be too big for just one person，so maybe I should rent an apartment．On the other hand，if I rent （租）a house，I could find someone else to share with me．The only problem is that a house full of people might be too noisy for me．I prefer to have my own space．The city has some nice apartments，but they are also too expensive．However，if I could find a two-bedroom apartment and get a roommate，that would make it more affordable（负担得起的）．I just need to search for a roommate who is neat and quiet．You know I can't live with someone who is loud and messy．I don't have a car，so I also need to think carefully about the location．I probably need to look for somewhere near a bus stop or an underground station．That way I will have more time to study and spend less time traveling．
I'm looking forward to your reply．
Love，
Victor

6．Don't drive your kids to school．Let them ride a bike to school．
In England 8.3million children travel to school every day．It is reported that only a small number of pupils cycle to school （under 2%），although one in three children would actually like to．
Experts say that to stay healthy，children need at least one hour of proper exercise every day．But only six out of ten boys and four out of ten girls get that．One of the reasons is that parents have developed a habit of driving their children to school when they could just walk or ride a bike to school．
Teachers often say that children who walk or ride a bike to school are more ready to listen to their classes，ask and answer questions in class than those driven by car，and the school journey is a good chance for children to learn about road safety and other life skills．Also，for many children，riding a bike is more fun than going to school by car．
Most parents know the advantages．Then what's stopping them from letting their kids ride a bike？Safety is the number one worry for them．But actually riding a bike is not as dangerous as parents think it is．
When you decide to buy a bike，you should be aware that a bike that is too big or too small is dangerous．Don't try to get a bike that your child will"grow into"．Get the right size in good working order．Generally，20-inch wheels are on bikes for 5to 8-year-olds； 24-inch wheels are for 9to 11-year-olds； 26-inch wheels are suitable for those over 11，and some older children should even take bikes with 28-inch wheels，but the main thing is that the bike fits your child．

D．They haven't enough money to buy a bike．
36．Generally，what size bike is suitable for a 12-year-old child？C

5．"What's the name of our neighbour？I can't remember right now．"Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes？Usually，we think that older people's memory becomes bad because their brains get weak．But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea．
"The human brain works slower in old age，"says Michael Ramscar，the lead scientist．"But only because they have stored more information overtime．"
The findings are based on a series of computer simulations（模拟） of learning and memory．Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day．When the computer"reads"only so much，its performance on cognitive（认知）tests is similar of a young adult．But if the computer learns the experiences we might encounter over a lifetime，its performance is similar to that of an older adult．
Often it is slower，but not because its processing capacity has declined．Rather，increased"experience"has caused the computer's database to grow，giving it more data（数据）to process--which takes time．This is similar to old people．Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays．Another person knows the birthdays of 2000people，but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10．Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person？

A．Because they have a very poor memory．
B．Because they are too old to remember things．

D．Becasue they have stored too much information．
32．Where would this passage most probably appearA
A．In a magazine．
B．In a story book．
C．In a novel．
D．In a guidebook．
33．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Do old people have a bad memory？
B．Scientists'new findings on brains

4．195countries reached an agreement on December 12to do with climate（气候） change．It's the first time in history that most of the world's countries，rich or poor，agreed to take action．The meeting lasted two weeks．The agreement sets the long-time goal of making sure the world temperature does not get 2°C higher than the levels in the 1800s．Otherwise there will be serious problems on Earth like natural disasters．
The agreement also asks countries to volunteer to make promises based on each country's economy（经济），politics and technology．For developed countries，they will do even more．They have a plan to offer over $100billion （about 647billion yuan） to help poorer countries develop clean energy like water and wind power．
Besides，there are some legally binding （法律约束的） rules．Those countries need to set national goals for cutting greenhouse gas emissions （排放） every five years．And they will publicly report their progress every five years starting in 2023．
However，the Paris Agreement alone won't solve the climate change problem．The future depends on how well each country will carry out their promises．
