I still remember the last time I spoke in class three years ago. I tried to say a “W” but just made a    31    sound. I felt angry at that time. Everyone laughed and I didn’t speak in class from then on. But my doctor told me if I listened to classic music, I wouldn’t stutter(口吃). So I    32    wear my headphones in class. It works.

During the first month, very few people visited his shop. He sold little, and he could see that he was going to lose money.One night, Mr. Jones sat by the fire and was worried after another very bad day. Suddenly he got an idea. He found a piece of wood and wrote to the following notice on it in big letters:“WHAT DO YOU THINK I GIVE AWAY PENCILS AND PAPER AND INK”He put up the notice in front of the shop window before he went to bed. He slept better than usual that night.The following day, many people came to the shop. Mr. Jones said good morning to them all with a bright smile and asked the first woman what she wanted.She chose some writing paper and a pencil. As soon as he put them on her hands, she turned to leave the shop.“That will be thirty cents(美分), please.” he said.“Why?” she asked in surprise.“That’s the price of the paper and the pencil.”
   “But your notice says it’s free,” she answered.
   “Oh no,” he said, “how can I make any money if everything is free?”She took him outside and showed him the notice “It is wrong, too,” she said. “Where is the question mark(符号) after the word ‘think’?”“There isn’t a question mark,” he said.
   “But there should be one.”“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake,” Mr. Jones said. “You’ve read my notice in the wrong way.”“Not at all,” said the woman. “It is quite easy to read. It says: What do you think? I give away pencils and paper and ink!”“No,” Mr. Jones said. “You should read it like this: __________. And the answer to the question is: Certainly not!

But the problem is that there’s too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.Preview—if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (总的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and reports.Here’s how to preview:Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.Skim－if it’s short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and stars, movies of your daily paper.Here’s how to skim:Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.Pick up only a few key words in each line.Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same news, but usually we won’t get very different ideas of what it’s all about.47. What should you do if you read a long article according to the writer? A.Read the first two and the last two paragraphs carefully.    B. Read all the paragraphs. C. Pick up a few key words in each line. D. Read every word of it. 48. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to (指)         .A. skimming   B. previewing  C. the words    D. the news49. If you read a simple article, which reading skill is better to get the general idea?A. Previewing.  B. Skimming.  C. Reading carefully.  D. Sweeping each word.50. The best title for the reading may be          .A. Reading Skills           B. Previewing and Skimming C. Reading Problems           D. Reading Is Part of Life   五、七选五（本大题共10分，每小题2分）阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（本大题共 10 分，每小题 2 分）The human population(人口) is growing so fast and the things we use and throw away every day are also the same!    51    Luckily, with the support of our friends, family and classmates, there are many simple things we can do to protect the environment!   52    There are many ways to get around, so we don’t need to drive.
