In 1 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 2 can mean the difference between succes

The main deficiency 5 in the actual stuff of language itself words. Taken individually, words have 6 meaning until they are strung together into phras
10、es, sentences and paragraphs. 7 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing(退回) to 8 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 9 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called an 12 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined(预先确定的) speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate

17、on“t think it“s possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black. Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn“t have a clue about real African American life. “If you understood what these women go through,“
18、the woman said, “you would realize that abortion is their only choice.“ James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare. She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family. Now she discovers another child is on the way. “How would you co
19、unsel that woman?“ asked James. “Have an abortion,“ the woman responded. “That child would have a very poor quality of life.“ “I have a vested interest in your answer,“ James said. “The woman I described was my mother. I was the fifth of six children born into poverty. And, in case you“re interested

They are fitting b
22、lue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere. The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital“s busy Yamanote Line. There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at
23、train stations. A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March. This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier. In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide. Suicides have risen sh
24、arply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions. No one knows if the blue lights will work. There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: “We thought we had to do something to save lives. We know there is no scientific p
25、roof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives.“ The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi. She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: “We associate the color
26、 with the sky and the sea. It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide,“ she said. Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.（分数：12.00）(1).Why blue lights are installed in many train stations?（分数：

He is _.（分数：3.00）A.interestedB.denyingC.objectiveD.indifferentVisitors from space may have landed on our planet dozens, even hundreds of times during the long, empty ages while Man was still a dream of the distant future. Indeed, they could have landed on 90 percent of the earth as
30、 recently as two or three hundred years ago, and we could never have heard of it. If one searches through old newspapers and local records, one can find many reports of strange incidents that could be interpreted as visits from outer space. A stimulating writer, Charles Fort, has made a collection o
31、f UFO sighting in his book! One is tempted to believe them more than any modern reports, for the simple reason that they happened long before anyone had ever thought of space travel. Yet at the same time, one can“t take them too seriously, for before scientific education was widespread, even sightin

36、eA man and his wife had a small bar near a station. The bar often stayed open until after midnight, because people came to drink there while they were waiting for trains. At two o“clock one morning, one man was still sitting at a table in the small bar. He was asleep. The barman“s wife wanted to go
37、to bed. She looked into the bar several times, and each time the man was still there. Then at last she went to her husband and said to him, “You“ve waken that man six times now, George, but he isn“t drinking anything. Why haven“t you sent him away? It is very late.“ “Oh, no, I don“t want to send him

We live on a dirt
41、y street in a shabby house among people who aren“t much good. You can“t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth (污秽) and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we“ve saved isn“t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are s
42、how-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a group of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn“t eat any more, she threw the rest down the sewer (阴沟). Miss

He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man“s throat
48、 if he tried to speak. The girl“s voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke again. “You don“t feel the cold so much at twenty below zero in the Western country. There isn“t such damp chill (潮冷)“, he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not ev
