Rubber ducks are being used to help scientists understand global warming and melting glaciers. NASA researchers have  21   90 ducks into holes in Greenland's fastest moving glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier between Greenland and Canada.

If they are found scientists will be able to  23   how the water moves through the ice and provide information about the   24   of glaciers. Scientists are still   25   about why glaciers speed up in summer and head towards the sea.

So much to do, so little time．So much information, so little time to read ．In this age there is more information than ever before．There is not enough time to read everything we want to read．However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading．This article will not make you read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly．You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading．

When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (極大的)．

How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．

The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．

The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It's hard to read a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understand of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush , start our slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase you speed．

The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals(間歇)．Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you're reading．

Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

       A．Now there is limited information than ever before．

     B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information．

     C．Now people can read what they like．

     D．The less you read, the more time you will spend．

What is the subject discussed in the text?

       A．What speed-reading is．                                                                              

  B．Why we need speed-reading．

     C．Now it is much information time．

       D．People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways．

Which of the following shows the right way for the speed-reading from the text?

       a．Ask for some techniques．

     b．Look at many words and recognize them．

     c．Practice more．

       A．c,a,b          B．c,b,a       C．b,a,c       D．a,c,b

The underlined sentence“you should be focused”in the fifth paragraph means that _________．

      A．a person should devote his attention to it while reading

    B．your feelings will be hurt while reading

    C．a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads

According to a survey released by the Nielson Company on Thursday, China has become a global tourist attraction after the Beijing Olympics.

About 80 percent of the respondents had not been to China before the events and 50 percent of them expressed hopes of visiting China after the Games.

According to the survey, 70 percent of the respondents felt Beijing was more modern and scientific than what they had thought.

The most interested respondents were from Singapore, India, Mexico, South Africa and the Republic of Korea, as well as China’s Hong Kong and Taiwan.
