5、  Programs may already be installed on the computers at your school or university. If not, you can consider looking at catalogues to see what is available on CD-ROM.

  Some people question whether computers can really help you to read, any better than picking up a book. There is some justification for this, but listen to the arguments from people who believe that computers have something to offer. The first argument relates to motivation. Anything that makes you spend more time reading will be helpful, so if you are someone who likes to turn on your computer as soon as you walk into your room, then you could find yourself motivated to spend more time on your foreign-language reading if it appears on your screen. There is more to computers than motivation, though. You need to make use of all the technical possibilities, because good programs allow things to happen which are not possible with a book.

  This leads on to the idea of autonomy（自主）in language learning. We have already seen many times in this book that you, the language learner, will make a far bigger difference to your ultimate（最终的）success than your teacher will. With a computer, you can decide how many repetitions to have and how to respond to the commands. In some programs you also shape the direction of the story you are reading by the selections you make. In other words, you don’t have to move along at the pace of the rest of the class, which you may find too slow or too fast.

  The flip side (反面)of learner autonomy is learner misuse of programs. Some programs allow short-cuts which give you a sense of having finished, but without actually having done much learning. You need to be mature in your approach to the programs. At the end of a session（时段） using well-designed materials, you should learn more than some new vocabulary and sentence patterns; you should also learn more about the reading process. As with all aspects of your language learning, you can finish your session with a critical eye to what you have learned from the program. This will include thinking about whether to repeat it or move on to another level.

4、    Excerpt: ( from How Do Animals Move?)

Many animals scurry up tree trunks to escape enemies or find food. Some live in the treetops. Many of these animals are not only expert climbers, but they also have found interesting ways to get from tree to tree.

   How Do Animals Adapt? and How Do Animals Move? are comprehensive explorations of animal adaptations and movement for young readers. Both are part of a 21 book series, The Science of Living Things.

   In How Do Animals Adapt? readers learn how animals adapt to survive with respect not only to climate, darkness, food and defenses but also to offspring and people. These adaptations are well explained in double page spreads (跨报刊两版的文章) with examples clearly depicted (描绘) in photographs and diagrams and developed through their accompanying captions (图片文字说明).

   As the title suggests, movement is the focus of How Do Animals Move? Beginning with a description of the explanation of movement, the reader is exposed to the many different ways of animals movement in the air, on land, under ground and in the water. Several unconventional (新奇的) variations (e.g. looping of inchworms, the rectilinear motion of snakes) are included. Once again, the photographs and diagrams plainly support the double page spread discussions of animal movement.

   The language of both titles is simple enough for young readers without talking down to them. In both books, terminology (术语) is featured in bold. Some of these words are explained in the basic glossary（术语汇编）while the majority are explained clearly in the text. Many of these terms provide readers with some fascinating, uncommon words (e.g. brachiation, potassium, skein, and estimate). As do many of Kalman’s book, both of these titles have a table of contents, glossary and index (索引) which are all enough to introduce young readers to the nature of these tools.

   Both titles would make excellent additions to any science collection for young readers.

64. The passage is a/an______________.

   A. report                  B. review           C. advertisement        D. journal

65. What’s “excerpt” at the beginning of the passage?

   A. An introduction to some games.           B. Readers’ comment on the books.

   C. Advice on how to read the books.        D. A short piece of writing from the books.

66. What help to understand the articles in the books?

   A. Photographs and diagrams.                  B. Contents, glossary and index.

   C. Terminology and its explanations.         D. Animal adaptations and movement.

67. What do we know about the two books?

 A. They are in high demand.                   B. They are easy to understand.

    C. They have got confusing titles.            D. They are good choices for novel-readers.

3、  There are many people who could be Olympic Champions, all Americans who have never tried. I’d estimate (估计) five million people could have beaten me in the pole-vault(撑杆跳高) on the years I won it, at least five million. Men who were stronger, bigger, and faster than I could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, never made the efforts to vault their legs off the ground to try to get over the bar.

  Greatness is all around us. It’s easy to be great because great people will help you. What fantastic about all the conventions(大会) I went to was that the greatest in the business would come and share their ideas, their methods and their techniques with everyone else. I have seen the greatest salesmen opening up and showing young salesmen exactly how they did it. They didn’t hold back. I have also found it true in the world of sports.

  I’ll never forget the time I was trying to break Dutch Warmer Dam’s record. I was about a foot below his record, so I called him on the phone. I said, “Dutch, can you help me? I seem to have leveled off. I can’t get any higher.”

  He said, “Sure, Bob, come on up to visit me and I’ll give you all I got.” I spent three days with the master, the greatest pole-vaulter in the world. For three days, Dutch gave me everything that he’d seen. There were things that I was doing wrong and he corrected them. To make a long story short, I went up eight inches. That great guy gave me the best that he had.

  Great people will share. Great people will tell you their secrets. Look for them, call them on the phone or buy their books. Go where they are, get around them and talk to them. It is easy to be great when you get around great people.

60. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Benefit from the Greatness around Us        

B. Many Men Are Better than Me

       C. Share Your Greatness with People around You

D. My Hearty Thanks to Warmer Dam

   A. a world record holder in pole vault          B. a Dutch pole-vaulter

   C. an Olympic Champion                           D. a student of Warmer Dam’s

62. The underlined phrase “leveled off” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______________.

   A. go down in level                        B. stayed in a certain level

   C. gone up in level                         D. progressed on

63. Why does the author think well of the conventions he attended?

   A. Because many great people also attended them.

   B. Because they were supported by many great businessmen.

   C. Because he learned to share his greatness with others.

   D. Because great athletes were willing to share.

2、   Alex stared through the cabin window at the darkness. Soon his dad would call him. And he didn’t want to go. He wished he hadn’t come to the lake for the weekend. “We’re ready,” Dad said as he came in from the porch. “ Grab your rod.”  Alex turned away from the window and slowly picked up his fishing rod. “Have fun!” Mom said. “Sure,” said Alex, trying to make his voice bright. “We should have done this before.” Dad said. “Let’s catch a big one!” Dad picked up his tackle (钓具) box, rod, and bait can from the porch. He clicked on the flashlight.

   They walked down the hill toward the lake in the narrow beam of light. The only thing Alex could see was the circle of weeds and rocks at their feet, lit by the flashlight. Insect voices filled his ears---clicks, hums, buzzes, whines. Hundreds of bugs waited in the darkness to attack. “Ow!” he blurted as he felt a sting on his arm. “Mosquitoes,” Dad said. “I have brought some spray (喷雾) to keep them off.”

 When they reached the boat, Alex stumbled as he climbed over the side. “I don’t like this much,” he said. “It’s so dark.” Dad squeezed his shoulder. “Don’t worry. It’s not as dark as you think. After a while your eyes will get used to the night.” Suddenly something rushed past Alex’s head. He gasped. “What was that?” “Probably a bat,” Dad said. How could Dad act as if it were nothing! “Will bats be flying around our heads the whole time?” “This is their time to be out catching insects,” Dad explained. “They won’t hurt you. They’re too busy grabbing dinner.” He pushed the boat off the gravel (沙砾) and jumped in. Alex gazed back at the cabin. A square of light from the window glowed in the darkness.

  Dad rowed to the middle of the lake and stopped. “We’ll just let the boat drift. Keep the flashlight in the bottom of the boat. The fish won’t bite if they see light flashing around. When we’ve done baiting our hooks(鱼钩), we’ll turn the light off.” Leaning down to get closer to the light, Alex tried to thread a worm on his hook, but he couldn’t seem to work his fingers right. So what if the worm was only partly on the hook? He didn’t want to fish anyway. He didn’t even want to be there.
