17、 thought about the speed or the rate of reading? Some people read very rapidly;others read very slowly.A rapid reader may say,“I read along story in one evening.“However someone who reads slowly perhaps say,“I read slowly,but carefully.And I am familiar with every detail(细节 ).“So who do you think is
18、 the better reader?The slow reader or the rapid reader?

23、Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 37 There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world hav
24、e worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this. One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are
25、used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton(棉 ), silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton. The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western count
26、ries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs. World-wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim(帽沿 ) up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat wi
27、th a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun.
