They were so nice as to we stay for coffee. Among them were two women beside a dirty pond. One pushed dirt back with a stick the other dipped the water into a bucket.

The one in her left hand was half eaten. had mixed with the dirt on her skin and small streams of mango-mud ran down her wrist. She held out her hand and offered me the other mango, which I accepted. Her eyes danced and joy spread into a smile. When we left, my friend pointed at a small stream beside their home and said,“That is where they . It is also where the animals drink and defecate（排便）. ”I have to say I had never been so .

The evening I returned home, I went into my bathroom. The image of that poor little girl my mind. Her bath would only take place in the cold, dirty water in the stream. I eased into my tub filled with warm water, enjoying this simple pleasure. Clean water wasn't my ；it was a blessing, one I was determined to with others.

Does reading great literature expand our imagination and better our moral and social sensibilities? For most people, it’s just wishful thinking because there’s no evidence that people are morally or socially better for reading Tolstoy or other great books.

But just hold on a second there. Actually, there is such evidence, says US writer Annie Murphy Paul. She argues in Time magazine that “deep reading”, as opposed to browsing web pages, makes us nicer and smarter.

Her evidence includes several studies carried out by some psychologists.

One is based in Canada. Two psychologists found that individuals who often read fiction appear to be better able to understand other people, sympathize with them and view the world from their perspective.

But this improvement is only possible if we do deep reading, which isn’t just about understanding the meaning of each word, Paul explains. Deep reading is “slow, devoted, rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity”. Through processing details, comparisons, and other literary device, the reader’s brain creates a mental representation as if the scene were unfolding in real life.

It’s said that reading a good book is like falling in love with the writer. Paul cites another study by psychologist Victor Nell from a university in South Africa, who found that when readers are enjoying the experience most, the pace of their reading slows.

The combination of fast, fluent understanding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers tie to enrich their reading with their own thoughts, analysis, memories and opinions. It’s as if reader and writer were engaged in a deep and real conversation, like people falling in love.

None of this is possible when we browse web pages. We will eventually lose the ability to appreciate our literary heritage because novels, poems and other kinds of literature can be understood only by readers whose brains are trained to read them. And even some educators just meet young people where they are by adapting education to their onscreen habits.

With the electronic devices spreading universally, Paul warms, deep reading has become an endangered practice. We should care about how we read as much as what we read. So pick up a book, sit back, and let a spiritual journey begin that will take you places only deep reading can.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆江蘇省高一上學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Every school has an ugly girl. In my primary school, it was me.

From first grade through fourth, I had to wear heavy orthopedic(整形外科的)shoes because of my weak ankles. I sounded like overweight elephant wearing bricks whenever I took a single step.

“Hey, Bigfoot!”

“Geez, you’re going to start an earthquake!”

Then in sixth grade I had to start wear glasses. Mom asked for the least expensive ones and that made me look like a fool.

“Four eyes!”

“Couldn’t you cover up more of your faces? Why stop at the eyes?”

In Seventh, I started competing on the city swim team, thinking that if I got a killer body, nobody would notice my face. Wrong again. I loved being fast and winning ribbons now and then, but now I had red, wet eyes from the chlorine(氯) in the pool. I also did not develop a killer body.

I changed my strategy at Eighth grade, the last year of middle school. I offered my help to anyone who needs. I worked for other girls, so they could hang out with their friends. My new program began to work. People who would never have acknowledged my existence before were suddenly seeking me out.

I’d been feeling pretty good until one day I went to Christine’s house to help her fill envelopes. Going into each envelope was invitation to Christine’s birthday party; it was a big event at a fancy hotel. Complete with dinner. She asked me to help her address these envelopes. There was no envelope for me.

My heart was broken. I tried to escape from all the eyes. High school had to be better, right？ Yes and no. Now that I’m here, I know there are still lots of shallow people judging you on what you’re wearing or how cool your hair is , but there are also kids who talk to you because they liked your answers or just as you’re kind, honest, and a good friend.

I still do kind things because I like the feeling I get when I am helping people. I, with my friends, went to Children’s hospital, playing games and reading to the sick kids.

I still had wet red and not a smart look, but you cannot tell me I am not beautiful. Every time I visit hospital, five-year-old Terry grasps my hand, “Morri, you are so nice. I want to grow up to be just like you.”

1.Why was Morri laughed at by her classmates when she was in primary school?

A. She had weak ankles and eyesight.

B. Her glasses couldn’t cover up her face.

C. She couldn’t get along well with them.

D. She looked like an overweight elephant.

2.Which of the following is the real reason for Morri competing on the city swim team?

A. To win more ribbons.

B. To shift others’ attention from her face.

C. To develop a killer body.

D. To have red wet eyes.

3.From what Morri experienced in the last year of middle school, we can learn that __________.

A. her classmates thought highly of her

B. she was popular among her classmates

C. she was often cheated by her classmates

D. her classmates just made use of her

4.The passage is intended to encourage people to __________.

A. address as many as invitation envelopes as possible

B. take more sport activities including swimming

C. take others’ comments into careful consideration

D. take positive attitude towards disadvantages in life
