Good readers know that reading isn“t just about knowing words-it“s a way of thinking. Here are some tips that

14、may be of some help. Think before you read. Before you read the text, ask yourself the questions that why you are reading it and what you want to get from it.

15、ing of the text without looking up new words in a dictionary? A text will often give examples that may help you understand some words. For example: Many large Russian cities, such as Chelyabinsk and Irkutsk, have taken steps to protect their culture. The words “Chelyabinsk“ and “Irkutsk“ may be new

16、to us, but the sentences before and after it tell us what they are. Think after you read. What is the main idea of the text? Is the text too easy or too hard for you? If you practice reading and thinking in this way, you will become a better reader and you will learn better and faster.（分数：15.00）(1).

Anna“s practicing football, volleyball, basketball and softball. Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyba

40、ll. In the summer, add on tennis and swim lessons. All of this means that dad, Darwin, a teacher, and mom, Joann, a nurse, spend a lot of time making sure everyone gets where he needs to be. Family dimmers? Forget about it. A busy family timetable, says Barbara Carlson. A school teacher, has become

41、the new thing that shows your status(地位)。 “ It used to be a house or car,“ says Carlson. “Now you say,“ You“er busy?

47、se family tie for them.C.Prepare them for school as early as possible.D.Help them understand honour and responsibility.Climate, more than any other single factor, determines the distribution of life on earth. Climatic boundaries establish the limits which organisms can survive. Plants, even more tha

48、n animals, must be well adapted to climate in order to survive. They cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. In the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug t

49、he ground for shelter from icy winds. Animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. Creatures such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. Others, such as bears are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. Oceandwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changesin this case temperature and salinityas land animals.
