Once a tortoise (乌龟) and two swans (天鹅) lived by a lake. They were very good friends. They spent

wonder, unsure of what to do next.
At last, the two swans had an idea. They said to the tortoise, “We will place a stick (棍子) in your mouth.
We will carry the stick in our beaks (鸟嘴) on either side. This will make us fly together. But remember, you mustnot open your mouth. If you do, you know what will happen to you.”
The tortoise was sad to leave the lake, but it agreed with the idea.
One fine morning, they were flying over a large town. The people of the town were surprised at what they
saw in the sky. They were very curious (好奇) about it and started shouting excitedly.

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by
practising until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman
practises until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meanings of the words. With more and
more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read phrase by phrase and soon sentence by sentence.
With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of each word, so that he can give all his attention to
the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman ofNorthwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as
the others, but also got better results (成绩) in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ.
Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach
automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with
expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read
brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
28．The underlined word “stumbles” in Paragraph 2 means “_________” in Chinese.
A．结结巴巴地读 B．全神贯注地读
C．心不在焉地读 D．声情并茂地读
29．Children with “automaticity” _________.
A．think about the meaning of each word while reading B．do not have to think while reading
C．read slowly and quietly D．pay attention to the meaning of the text
30．According to Rossman, if a child _________, he will possibly be an automatic reader.
A．turns off TV B．reads a text word by word
C．spends four hours reading every week D．has a high IQ
31．The best title for the passage is “_________”.
A．IQ Is the Key to the Automaticity B．TV Is Bad for Children’s Reading
C．Automaticity Depends on Practice D．Automatic Readers Will Be Successful

Laurie came back with a letter and money from Aunt March, but Jo did not return. It was late afternoon
when she came walking in and gave her mother some money.
“That’s to help make Father comfortable and to bring him home,” she said.
“Twenty-five dollars!” said Mrs March. “My dear, where did you get it?”
Jo took off her hat.
“Your hair, your beautiful hair!” cried Amy.
All Jo’s lovely, thick, long hair was cut short.
“Jo, how could you?” cried Meg.
“My dear girl, there was no need for this,” said Mrs March.“She doesn’t look like my Jo, but I love her clearly for doing it!” said Beth, and began to cry.
“Don’t cry, Beth,” said Jo. “I wanted to do something for Father, and selling my hair was the only thing I
could think of doing. I’ll soon have a curly head again, which will be short and easy to keep tidy.”
But later, when Amy and Beth were asleep and Meg was lying awake, she heard Jo crying.
“Are you crying about Father, Jo?” she asked.
“No, not now. It’s my hair,” cried Jo. “I’d do it again, if I could. But I did love my hair, and the selfish bit
of me is making me cry. Don’t tell anyone. I’ll be all right in the morning.”
During the days after their mother and Mr Brooke went away, Meg and Jo went back to their jobs, and Beth
and Amy helped Hannah to keep the house tidy. Everyone tried very hard to be good and hard-working and
helpful.
News of their father came through, at first telling them he was dangerously ill, but then saying he was
slowly getting better.
