6.A higher reading rate,with no loss of comprehension,will help you in other subjects as well as in English,and the general principles apply to any language.Naturally,you will not read every book at the same speed.You would expect to read a newspaper,for example,much faster than a physics or economics textbook-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction.They are all about five hundred words long.They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge.Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel.If you read this kind of English,with understanding at four hundred words per minute,you might skim (浏览) through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700,while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved.Tests in Minnesota,USA,for example,have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty,for example,Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation,at speeds of between 240and 250words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension.Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons,once a week,the reading speed can be increased,with no loss of comprehension,to around five hundred words per minute.

32.According to the passage,the purpose of effective(有效的)reading with higher speed is most likely to help youC.
A.read a physics textbook only
B.improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C.study not only English but also other subjects
D.choose the suitable materials for you to practise reading
33.Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph?A
A.Those beyond one's reading comprehension.
B.Those concerned with common knowledge.
C.Those concerned with specialized knowledge.
D.Those with the length of about five hundred words.
34.The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota isB.
A.about 300words per minute
B.about 245words per minute
C.about 650-700words per minute
D.about 500words per minute
35.According to the passage,how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota?D
A.You can increase your reading speed by three times.
B.No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.
C.Yon can increase your reading speed by four times.
D.You can double your reading speed.

Perhaps you have heard the expression—when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.

1.The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country’s culture and language.

The first thing you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meeting with friends, kissing is common.

Use first names only after being invited to. 2.The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.

Dress well.3.Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing make-up is practised widely by businesswomen.

The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours.4.

Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.5.This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

A. The French draw information about people based on their appearance.

B. This is a time for relationship building.

C. Remember to be as polite as possible.

D. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.

E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.

G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.

15."It seems that you had a rough day,Tyler.Is there anything I can do to help?"
"That's just the thing,Mom.We can't help.Today,our science teacher talked about Earth Day and the environment.Earth Day is supposed to be a day when every person promises to do something to help take care of our world.Mrs Green told us our world is getting dirtier and that many animals and plants are dying.She wants us to think of something we can do to help and I thought all the way home and there is not anything that I can do to make a difference."
"Let me tell you a story that might help you think about your problem in a different way."She began,"One morning a man was walking down a beach that was covered with dying starfish.Thinking what a shame it was that all of those starfish would die on the beach,he came across a boy who was throwing starfish back into the ocean as fast as he could.‘Son,'the man said,‘you'd better quit.There are thousands of them.They are washed up all over the beach.There is no way you can make any sort of a difference.'The boy spoke to the man without even a pause,‘I can make a difference to this one,and this one,and this one.'The man thought a while,and he knew the boy was right.He began to help return the animals to their home."
Tyler stared at his mother,"But he did make a difference,didn't he?To every starfish that he threw back?So,what it means is that even though I can't change everything,I can make a big difference by doing the little things that matter?"His mother nodded,smiling,"That is exactly what I am saying."
On Earth Day,there was a meeting and everyone in the community was invited.Many of them were surprised to see a large brown tree without leaves.Soon performances began.A boy walked across a stage filled with starfish.The play went on as Tyler and his class showing the story and ended with the audience's applause."At first,we thought we couldn't do anything.The problems seemed too big for us.But then we realized that together,even the little things we do could add up to mean a lot to our world."The kids began passing out the green leaves and pens to the audience."We want every person to think of one thing you can do to make a difference to our world.Even if it seems like something small,it will matter."The audience began writing."I will walk to work.""I will use both sides of my paper to save trees."…
Soon the tree was green and covered with the Earth Day promises.Seeing the people laughing and talking as they left,Tyler smiled,thinking of the difference they would make.

21.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?C
