Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for readi

27、ng fast. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixation（固定）or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and

28、move on to another group. The number of letters or words you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can read faster than you usually read.The way in which you read always depends on what you are reading and for what purpose.

29、 You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish toreview something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main idea.2) Ra

30、pid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive(精深的) study of your school sub

31、jects, solving mathematics problems or reading directions.4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing materials that you already know well.56. The main reason for reading fast is that you can _ what you are reading fast. A. get the ideas

If you prefer offbeat places, check out the following roadside attractions.Worlds Largest Ball of PaintAlexandria, Ind.In 1977, Michael Carmichael set out to create the biggest

35、 ball of paint anywhere. Starting with a baseball as centre, he painted layer by layer of paint day after day, year after year. The ball weighs more than 1,300 pounds, with more than 20,000 coats of paint, which is recognized by Guinness World Record. Visotors can paint the wall themselves and becom

36、e part of the history.The Museum of DirtyBoston, Mass.The museum is the idea of Glenn Johnson. Labeled (贴有标签的) glass bottles contain such treasures as dirt from the Great Wall of China, as well as sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France. Best of all, the cost of seeing this muse

37、um is dirt cheap: Its free.Mount Horeb MMUstard MuseumMount Horeb, Wis.Its heaven for hotdog lovers! This museum says it has to have the worlds largest collection for prepared mustard(芥末). Its more than 4,100 bottles of spices(香料) come from 60 nations, including Turkey and China. Visitors learn the

38、history of mustard, from how its made to how its advertised and sold.

Three years ago, a Dutch teenager named Boyan Slat designed a solution: an ocean rubbish collection

43、device that would collect ocean plastic without harming ocean life.These days, Slat is anxious to put his ocean-cleaning idea to the test. A passing grade might lead to the removal of nearly half of the plastic rubbish floating in the Pacific Ocean. But the process needs to be tested in real-world c

44、onditions before it can be fully started-or beat the criticism of scientists who are doubtful that it can work.Slats idea is opposite to existing oceanic cleanup methods: Instead of sending ships out to run after floating rubbish, position a fixed, floating, V-shaped buffer(缓冲物) in the ocean so that

45、 water moves through it, funneling(使流经漏斗状管道) plastic rubbish into a container while allowing animals to swim past the net-free device.To test the idea, Slat and his company, Ocean Cleanup, plan to place a 6,561-foot-long float in the Korean Strait by spring 2016. If realized, it would be the largest

46、 floating structure ever used. If the technology works, Ocean Cleanup hopes to build a 62-mile-long system that would float somewhere between Hawaii and California. This one would be big enough to deal with an area containing millions of tons of plastic rubbish.When it first conquered the Internet i

47、n 2013, Slats plan caught hearts around the world. But the scientific community doubts whether it would work, how effective it would be, and its possible environmental influence. Slat and the 100-member staff of his company, Ocean Cleanup, answered last year with a 530-page report stating that a 62-

48、mile-long model would remove 42 percent of the plastics in thr Pacific Ocean in less than 10 years.64. Boyan Slat invented the device to _.

Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Slat tested the device in the Korean Strait. B. Ocean Cle

Ocean Cleanup bulit a 62-mile-long floating struture.DTeenagers who drink alcohol are at higher risk of becoming victims of violence, a Cardiff University study has found.A team from the School of D

51、entistrys Violence Research Group studied drinking habits in children aged 11-16 in England. They found not only a link between drink and violence but also that children who drank were more likely to be hit, even if they werent violent themselves.The researchers are now calling for measures to preve

52、nt alcohol misuse to reduce injury risks. Current policy focuses on reducing aggression but this research shows that there should be equal effort to reduce victimization.More than 4,000 children were surveyed at 13 schools at four local authorities in the North, the Midlands, London, and the South.

53、The study found that 25% of 11-year-olds were drinking monthly and 3.6% daily, with 12.8% admitting to get drunk 3 to 5 times a year. By the age of 16, 40% were drinking weekly and 6.2% were drinking every day. The research also showed 22.6% of 16-year-olds were getting drunk more than 21 times a ye

54、ar.The study, which has just been published in the Journal of Adolescence, found a strong link between frenquency of drinking and frenquency of hitting other people.However, children who were reported drinking monthly were also three times more likely to be hit. Adolescents who drank but didnt get i

55、nto fights were more likely to be hit than those who did fight.Professor Jonathan Shepherd, who led the research, said a lot of previous alcohol-related violence work had focused on the offenders rather than the victims. His team is calling for more prevention work from parents and teachers in the f

56、irst two years of secondary school by taking advantage of the “teachable moment”, that is, immediately after a student has missed school because of drunkenness.Previous work by Professor Jonathan Shepherd has shown drinkers may be more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination, p

57、oor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night.He said, “This new study seems to be the first to show a direct link between alcohol misuse and victimization. There now needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury.”67. Th

62、nd private partnerships. Whichever form, they share common goals: fewer traffic jams in large cities, more lasting means of transportation, improved safety of communities and better health for riders.While many Europeans have relied on biking as a form of transportation for many years, bikes share p

63、rograms were introduced in large cities of the U.S. to encourage non-bike riders to join along and make it convenient for people to get around town without having to worry about locking up their bike or maintaining it.This original programs that offered free bikes were ruined by theft and vandalism(

64、故意破坏), but newer technology has helped decrease crime. Most large programs have electronic cards, computer or telecommunication tracking, and a system that stores credit card information. Bikes are usually clearly designed or colored so they are immediately recognized and some have parts that wont w

67、community bikes. At the University of New England, for instance, students are given a $260 bicycle, for free, in exchange for leaving their car at home with their parents. However, many have had to stop programs due to unreturned bikes and vandalism Starting bike share programs isnt easy. Even the l

68、arge programs in Europe still face theft and vandalism, and ridership drops during the winter and maintenance fees can add up. One disadvantage in the U.S. is that many communities arent set up for biking; theyre set up for driving. Long travels and a lack of bike lanes cant necessarily be solved wi

69、th easy-to-access bikes. Yet for those cities that are relatively flat and crowded, bike share programs and increased bike ridership in general offer so many benefits you have to wonder if two wheels might be the ride of the future.Title: Bike Share ProgramGoals To 71._ traffic jams in large cities
