“Mommy, look!” cried my daughter, Darla, pointing to a chicken hawk in the air. "Uh huh, "I answered, driving, lost in thought about the timetable of my day.

Disappointment _______ her face.

“What's the matter, sweetheart?” I asked.

“Nothing,” my seven-year-old daughter said. The moment was gone. Dinner, baths and phone calls filled the hours until bedtime.

" Come on, Darla, time for bed! "She raced past me up the stairs. Tired, I kissed her and hugged her.

“Mom, I forgot to give you something! "she said.

“Give it to me in the morning. "I said. My_______ was gone. I could hardly stay cool.

“You won't have time in the morning! "she talked back quickly.

"I’ll take time,” I answered. Sometimes no matter how hard I tried, time was never enough.

She wasn't ready to _______ up yet. "No, you won't! It will be just like today when I told you to look at the chicken hawk. You didn't_______listen to what I said.”

I was too tired to argue, and she hit too close to the truth. "Good night!" I shut the door in anger.

Later though, her gray-blue eyes filled my vision as I thought about how little time we really had until she was grown and gone. My husband asked me about what was going on and I told him.

“Maybe she was not asleep yet. Why don' t you _______?"he said.

I followed his advice,_______ it was my own idea. I opened her door gently. In Darla's hand I could see her paper all crumpled up. She had torn into small pieces a big red heart with a poem she had written titled,"Why I Love My Mother?”

Why I Love My Mother

Although you're busy, and you work so hard

You always take time to play with me

I love you Mommy,

Because l am the biggest part of your busy day!

Tears filled my eyes. When I softly touched her face, she awakened from a dreamless sleep and asked, "Why are you_______, Mommy?”

“You are the most important part of my busy day!”

She smiled and then went back to sleep, not really understanding how strongly I _______what I said.

閱讀短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。

It's not useful for you if you can't remember what you read or study. You just waste your time.

If you want to remember what you study or read well, you must have a special purpose or reason for reading. When you know why you're reading, you can remember better.

Think why a salesgirl in a store goes away when your answer to her offer is "No, thank you. I'm just looking around", because both you and she know that you aren't sure what you want. But if you say, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sunglasses. "Instead, She will say, "Right this way, please.” And she will be very glad to lead you to what you want.

It's quite the same with your studying or reading. If you choose a book, you only think, " just look” but without any purpose, you are likely to get nothing. But if you know what you want, you are almost sure to get something from it when you read or study. You want"to find out more about…"to understand the reason for…". A good reader has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing. He can connect the information to his goal and remember it better.

Reading is not one single activity, either. At least two important processes go on at the same time.

As you read, you take in ideas quickly and correctly. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself when you read: You have a kind of mental conversation with the writer. If you express your ideas, they may sound like this:"Yes, I agree. That's my opinion, too, or"Oh, I thought that record was broken much earlier. I'd better check those dates,” Or “But there are some other facts to be considered!” You don’t just sit there taking in ideas, you really do something else, and that something else is very important.

Another process of thinking about what you read includes judging it, connecting it to what you already know, and using it for your own goals. In other words, a good reader is a critial （批評的）reader. When you read, you can tell between facts and opinions. Another part of critical reading is you can judge sources. Still another part is drawing right conclusions.

1.Is it useful if you can't remember what you read or study?

2.What must you do if you want to remember what you read?

3.What can you get if you just look at a book without any purpose?

4.How many important processes when you read?

5.What's the passage mainly about?
