Six Ways to Improve Reading Comprehension

　　Help your child keep what he reads－a crucial skill, especially as he gets older and needs to gain important information from textbooks．

　　1．Let him read aloud．This forces him to go slower, which gives him more time to process what he reads．Plus, he’s not only seeing the words, he’s hearing them, too．

　　2．Provide the right kinds of books．Make sure your child gets lots of practice reading books that aren’t too hard．He should recognize at least 90 percent of the words without any help．Stopping any more often than that to figure out a word makes it tough for him to focus on the over all meaning of the story．

　　3．________．To gain meaning from text, your child needs to read quickly and smoothly－a skill known as fluency．Rereading familiar, simple books gives your child practice at decoding words quickly, so he’ll become more fluent．

　　4．Talk to the teacher．If your child is struggling mightily with comprehension, he may need more help with his reading－for example, building his vocabulary or practicing phonics skills．

　　5．Supplement class reading．If his class is studying a particular theme, look for easy-to-read books or magazines on the topic．Some prior knowledge will help him get better prepared and make his way through tougher classroom texts．

　　6．Talk about what he’s reading．This “verbal processing” helps him remember and think through the themes of the book．Ask questions before, during, and after a reading session．For example：

　　Before：“What interests you in this book?What doesn’t?”

　　During：“What’s going on in the book?Is it turning out the way you thought it would?”

　　After：“Can you summarize the book?What did you like about it?”

　　Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy(使恼怒)you?Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(情绪)will probably go away after some time．But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster, often within a day or two．

　　·Walk it off

　　Exercise is the most popular way to remove a bad mood．A person who’s in a bad mood has low energy and high tension(紧张)．Taking a fast ten－minute walk, or taking some quick exercise can do wonders towards changing that bad mood．

　　·Tune it out

　　Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tensions go away quickly, because music starts associations with past positive experiences we’ve had．

　　·Give yourself a pep(鼓励)talk

　　Stop and listen to what’s on your mind．Bad moods are often started by too many negative(消极的)thoughts．Write them all down on paper, including the pessimistic(悲观的)messages you’ve been giving yourself and then give optimistic(乐观的)answers．

　　·Avoid things that won’t improve your mood

　　TV may not help much：you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激)your mind．And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how ________ are linked．Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed(消沉的)moods while carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(意大利面食)，produce a calming effect in people who have a desire for them．

　　Comic(喜剧的)book superhero Spider-Man uses tiny hairs on his fingertips to climb up walls．But he could have had another secret weapon to help him stick．

　　Scientists have now found that some spiders can also make silk in their feet, which may sometimes help them get a firmer grip on a surface．

　　Spiders are good at gripping walls with their legs．Thousands of little hairs on their feet make it possible．To test whether spiders also make these hairs wet to improve grip, scientists watched zebra tarantulas crawl(爬行)up glass slides．

　　When they tilted a glass slide until it was almost vertical, the spider slipped a few millimeters before attaching itself again．The scientists were surprised to see little threads(线)stretching from its feet to the slide．When they studied the spider’s feet under a special microscope, they found tiny silk-shooting spouts(吐出)among the hairs．

　　This was a surprise because scientists had previously thought spiders only use special organs near their stomachs to make silk．

　　It’s possible that, a long time ago, feet were the first body parts of spiders to produce silk．Only later in their evolutionary(进化)history did spiders develop spinnerets on their abdomens(腹部)to produce silk for webs(网)．

　　If so, the researchers say, this could mean that the silk’s original purpose was to , rather than to build homes or trap prey(猎物)．

　　In the world today, an often heard term is “team work”, which is regarded as something utmost important for any companies, schools, businesses or whatever related to human work．So true is it that almost none would say anything against it once there are things, especially those we call hard nuts to be cracked that need to be done on a large scale．

　　Take, for example, a can only be worked out by at least 8 people software program．No matter how talented any of the eight advanced software engineers is, he or she is only part of the team who cannot, for one thing or another, complete the whole program alone whatever efforts he/she makes or however diligent he/she is, for, a software program, often needed badly and calling for lots of time and extremely pains?taking efforts of a programmer, ________．Time, as everyone who keep in mind that this is a world of fierce competition knows, is money! Days', even minutes' delay would cause a business to lose thousands, even millions of dollars．From this point of view, the example tells everything－team work!?

　　A recent survey done by WEIO, shortened form of the Working Efficiency Investigation Organization, of University of Detroit, shows that all over the world 95％ of work needs team work in one way or another unless it is completely personal－say, brushing one's teeth．The organization concludes that team work stands for unity of a team and efficiency of human abilities．“Have you heard that ancient Chinese story of ‘One Chopstick and Nine Chopsticks’?”, says the director of WEIO smilingly, “besides unity, it has a spirit of team work in it!”

　　In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget．But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant．The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible．

　　First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength．For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck．Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice．I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night．

　　I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor．I was paid the lowest wage of that time－two dollars an hour．Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible．I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than ＄100 a week．

　　But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions．During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch．Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures．The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone．And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor．

　　I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked．By the time I left, I _________．
