     Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by
practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent
sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it
"automaticity (自動性)".
     A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice,
he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短語). With automaticity, he doesn't have to think
about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
     It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman
of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three
times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
    According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (數(shù)量) of time a child spends reading,
not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or
newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for
reading at home.
     You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable (適合) for your level. If you read
aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic
reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more
practice.
1. "Reading is the key to school success" means that reading __________.
A. helps school develop faster
B. is a key to a successful school
C. helps students go to a key school
D. can improve students' learning results
2. Children with "automaticity" can read faster because they __________.
A. know how to read the words
B. do not have to think while reading
C. read by themselves without any help
D. pay attention to the meaning of the text
3. Rossman tells that any child who __________  will possibly be an automatic reader.
A. turns off TV one night 4 weeks
B. reads books by the word quickly
C. spends an hour reading every day
D. gets the same grades as others in exams
4. The underlined word "stumble" in the passage means "__________" in Chinese.
A. 結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地讀                      
B. 全神貫注地讀
C. 心不在焉地讀                      
D. 聲情并茂地讀
5. The best title for the passage is  "__________".
A. IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity
B. TV Is Bad for Children's Reading
C. Automaticity Depends on Practice
D. Automatic Reads Will Be Successful

　　Dear Roni,

　　Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

　　The country near Florence is so beautiful－h(huán)ills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋頂) of the houses look so nice far away.

　　I am afraid I am getting bigger－the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

　　Roni Lebaver

　　222 Main St. Languna

　　Beach, CA 92651

　　U. S. A.

　　Hi Roni,

　　I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

　　I spend each morning on the beach(海灘) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

　　One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

　　How I miss you!

Mari

　　Beach, CA 92651

　　Dear Roni,

　　Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

　　Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

　　I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

　　And when we find something green－－a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

　　See you in September,

Kim

閱讀理解（二）（每小題2分，共10分）閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。
If you like unusual places, you should visit the Hebrides Islands. Not many people live on these islands in the northwest of Scotland. The land is not good for farming. It’s only good for keeping sheep (綿羊). The winters are long, cold, and wet. It’s hard to make a living on the Hebrides, but for a visitor, these islands can be very special.
They’re not for everyone. Even summer days are cool and often windy. The water is too cold for swimming. There are only a few trees and green fields. Instead of fields, there are just rocks and small plants. The hills, too, are just piles of rocks. Sometimes the view (風(fēng)景) looks like pictures of the moon.
But there is beauty in this place. From the beach you can often see all the ways to the rocky hills. From the hills you can see far out to other islands and the open ocean. The colors, too, are special. Blue is everywhere. It’s in the sky and in the ocean. In the spring there is also green in the hills. In the summer and winter the hills are more purple.
On these islands you can forget about the rest of the world. The evenings are quiet. The restaurants close early, and there isn’t any nightlife. Visitors stay at a guest house or a Bed. This is the best way to learn about life on the islands. The islanders are often friendly, and they like to talk.
If you want to meet islanders, you can also try the pubs (酒吧) or even the shops. People are in no hurry here. They like to chat about the weather or the fishing.
Do not come to the Hebrides for shopping. Come to walk in the clean, cool air. Come for the quiet beauty and for the views.
【小題1】Are there many people living on the Hebrides islands?
                                                                              
【小題2】How is the weather on the Hebrides in the summer?
                                                                              
【小題3】What can you see from the hills when you are on the Hebrides?
                                                                              
【小題4】Where do visitor stay for the night on the Hebrides?
                                                                              
【小題5】According to the passage, what can we do on the Hebrides?

“Life is speeding up(加快速度). Everyone is getting unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown person wrote it.

Inventions can change our lives. But have all these things really improved our lives? Imagine this. You’re doing your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings and the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer is turned off and you lose all your work. How do you feel? Inventions have speeded up our lives, but they often leave us feeling tired.

One family in England went “back in time” to see what life was like without these inventions. The grandparents, with their daughter and grandsons Ben 10 and Tom 7, spent nine weeks in an old house. They had no computers or mobile phones. The grandmother, Linda, said, “The more things you have, the harder life becomes.” And Ben also noticed that his grandmother had changed.
