27、eady to cause damages on that day.

28、 itself. And when these programs are run, the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages.

The student must make a real effort to improve his
33、 speed, and if necessary his comprehension, with each exercise. Too many students read passages passively（被动的） and without judgment: they simply start at the first word and read through to the end. You should read a passage actively, selectively（选择地） and purposely. You must believe that you indeed h
34、ave the ability to read faster and understand, and that you will. Reading, like everything else in life, is best done when youre relaxed. The key to improve it is concentration. You must be willing to break some old habits and form new ones. Extra body movement, such as turning the head from side to
35、 side, pointing at the line with a finger or pencil, or moving the lips, should be stopped immediately. Reading is mostly a mental process(大脑活动过程 ) and body movement helps neither speed nor comprehension. Then you should see words as part of a whole sentence or paragraph, not just in isolation(孤立 ),
36、 This is why a slow, word-by-word student often understands far less, or misses much of the joy and excitement of reading. The student must learn to improve reading skills on their own, and not just when a teacher is looking over his shoulder. Reading improvement takes discipline（纪律） and effort. Don
37、t give up. 1. According to the author, how should we not read a passage A. actively B passively. C. purposely D. selectively 2. You may conclude that whether you can improve your reading depends on_. A. your attitude B. your good habits of reading C. discipline D. all of the above 3. Which of the fo
38、llowing is true according to the passage A. When reading, youd better point at the line with a pencil. B. When reading, you should turn your head from side to side. C. When reading, you should pay attention to basic unit of meaning, that is a phrase or sentence that contains an idea. D. Body movemen
39、t will help you to improve reading. 4. The best title for this passage is_. A. Reading Faster B. Understanding Better C. How to Improve Your Reading D.
