Many students trying to increase their effective reading speed become discouraged when the

y find that if they try to race through passages faster, they fail to take what they have read. At the end, they have been so busy "reading faster" that they cannot remember what the passage was about. The problem is that the material they are practicing on is either too difficult for them in vocabulary or content, or not sufficiently interesting. I hope my following lectures will be both interesting and fairly easy, but you should also practice reading as much as you can in your own time.

Intense Concentration As with any subject, people learn faster when concentration is high

Intense Concentration

As with any subject, people learn faster when concentration is high and we're actively interested in learning. Being interested and relaxed helps too. In intensely verbal courses the teachers are most effective when they act as a facilitator. Their prime task is to grab attention, help make sure that the activities are interesting and provide background information, which helps students to actively participate in the lesson and plan and implement effective, complimentary home study programs. The student is responsible for keeping himself or herself "Under Pressure" in the ways mentioned above. Of course this requires that students understand the types of pressure they should take upon themselves and when to back off. Imposed pressure is different in quality to self-imposed pressure, and it is the latter which is appropriate for adult learners, and children too, I suspect.

In the typical actively verbal language class, understanding of the processes needed for effective language acquisition is necessarily inferred by the students. Communicating clearly with everyone in the class is difficult enough, so talking about why an activity is useful is quite likely to confuse and bemuse rather than enlighten students in a language course. For this reason transparent, open-ended activities with clear task goals form. the foundation of any intensely verbal course. In other words, short demonstrations are followed by pair and group work doing the demonstrated activity and it is up to the students to make sure they involve themselves while the teacher is trying to target the activities so they are appropriate, allowing the students to discover for themselves ways in which the activity helps achieve their language target. Making activities appropriate is the key, meaning that students should be able to quickly realize that they can vary and extend what they are doing — that the example is a starting point, not a prescriptive pattern but a working start point which points them in a direction for exploration.

What do you think the author has most probably talked about previously, according to the passage？

A．How to learn faster than others.

B．How to deal with pressure.

C．What to do with interesting subject.

D．How to relax oneself while studying.

Faster Effective Reading

A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage (百分比) gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.

The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at, say, four hundred words per minute, you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.

Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A, for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, one a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.

According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you ______.

A．only in your reading of a physics textbook

B．improve your understanding of an economics textbook

C．not only in your language study but also in other subjects

D．choose the suitable materials for you to practice reading

Reading Comprehension （1)When a customer finds that an item he bought is faulty or does no

Reading Comprehension (1)

When a customer finds that an item he bought is faulty or does not live, up to the manufacture's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单)or any other helpful records at the store of purchase. In most eases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.

A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the"higher up"the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, if he has a just claim.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, especially when the consumer call demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible, but if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumer's rights.

The passage tells us______ .

A．how to make all effective complaint about a faulty item

B．how to deal with complaints from customers

C．how to settle a consumer's complaint about faulty item

D．how to avoid buying a faulty item

A real estate developer in Florida, desiring to protect his high-rise apartment building o

n the beach from hurricane damage, has planted sea oats in two rows in front of his building in order to encourage the development of sand dunes between the water and his building. Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the probable effectiveness of the developer's plan？

A．Sand dunes provide little protection for tall buildings against the wind, which is sufficiently powerful even in minor hurricanes to cause serious damage to buildings.

B．Sand dunes have been shown to provide effective protection against the storm surge, the pounding waves driven by hurricane-force winds onto dry land.

C．Although sea oats will lead to the growth of sand dunes over many years, it would be far faster to build concrete bunkers between the building and the water.

D．Hurricane insurance has become so expensive that many owners of beachfront property choose not to buy it.

E．The developer has invested in reinforced steel girders and shatterproof glass as a way of minimizing damage to his building in the event that a hurricane hits the area.
