When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. Here are some good reading tips.

1. Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. 2. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.

Try to read regularly(定期地). 3. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.

Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. 4. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. It is easy enough to understand and also there is something interesting in it.

A. So, choose an interesting book.

B. Try to read at the right level.

C. For example, read for a short time once a day.

D. But you don’t have to write them while you read.

E. You should read as much as you can.

It’s hard to believe how times have changed since the first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, on 6th April 1896. Over one hundred years ago, there was very little reliance(dependence)on modern technology. There were no landing mats(海綿墊), no stopwatches and no photo finishes. In fact, cameras and stopwatches were not used until the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the USA.

Today technology has completely revolutionized(changed) sports. Take sports equipment(裝備)for example. Starting blocks are now equipped with electronic pressure sensors(傳感器), which provide exactly correct race time and also help to catch runners who “jump the gun”. As athletes cross the finishing line, special digital cameras can also easily decide the winner. The clays of “dead heats” are gone.

Athletes have also benefited(受益) from technological developments. Body-hug-ging suits, which reduce(減少) wind drag, can help cut up to one-tenth of a second from runners’ race times. Top athletes are even provided with tailor-made sports shoes. These shoes are made to fit the athlete exactly—and there are even air compartments in the shoes that can be filled to meet each runner’s individual needs.

Technology has also changed the way that many sports are performed. Take one example—the pole vault(撐桿跳). The inclusion of a landing mat obviously made a big difference to the vaulting style(方式)as athletes no longer needed to worry about hurting themselves as they fell. Without these worries, athletes could obviously jump higher. These days, polevaulters do not even need to worry about the crossbar as the uprights are now fitted with light-emitting diodes(LEDs) that measure(測(cè)量) how high the athlete vaulted. Technology has even been to the advantage of swimmers. New pools have been designed to reduce wave interference and sports scientists have even developed a new style of swimming that increases buoyancy and reduces drag in the water.

The increasing importance of these technological developments has led many sportsmen to suggest that the “Olympic spirit” is being lost in a rush to break records and win medals. Many developing countries say that technology has become too important in sport and that athletes from developing countries that cannot afford such technology are disadvantaged. There are no easy answers but one thing is sure—we cannot turn back time. Technology cannot go backwards.

1.How many pieces of high-tech sports equipment are mentioned in paragraph 2 and 3?

A.One. B.Two.

C.Three. D.Four.

2.The underlined phrase “dead heats” means “________”.

A.sports equipment which was out of date

B.runners who jumped the gun while running

C.diseases which killed runners in hot weather

D.races in which runners finished at the same time

3.What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph?

A.LEDs can measure the speed of swimming.

B.The pole vault was not quite safe in the past.

C.Polevaulters jump higher with landing mats.

D.New pools have changed the style of swimming.

4.The purpose of the writer in writing this article is ________.

A.to suggest we should keep up with the times

B.to show us the future of modern Olympics

C.to prove that the athletes have done better

D.to introduce high-tech sports equipment

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole. When the other frogs saw how deep the hole was, they told the two frogs that they were hopeless to be alive. But the two frogs didn’t believe it. 1. . The other frogs kept telling them to stop and wait for their death. Finally, one of the two frogs gave up and fell down. Soon he died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him and told him to stop and just wait to die. 2. .

When he got out, the other frogs said: “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. 3. .

The story teaches us two lessons. 4. . An encouraging word to someone who is down can cheer him up and help him make it through difficulties. Secondly, a destructive (消極的) word to someone who is down can make him give up and die. So be careful of what you say.

Speak life to those who cross your path. It is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word can go such a long way. It is great for a person to take the time to encourage another.

A. Then the two frogs began to stop jumping

B. But he jumped even harder and finally he made it

C. Firstly, there is power of life and death in the tongue

D. So he thought they were encouraging him at that time
