If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about reading rate:
● Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
● Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important ideas.
● Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news letters from friends, pieces of news from local, or home-town, papers, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.
● In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.

Several months ago, I attended the opening event for a new children's literacy(读写能力) campaign at the Burbank Library in California. The campaign is called Marvel Comics Close-Up, aimed at using comic books to encourage kids to read. Disney and Marvel donated 210,000 books to libraries and schools across the country.
Stars from Disney XD participated. They read Spider-Man comic books to 70 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs in southern California. The stars included Drake Bell (Ultimate Spider-Man), Dylan Riley Snyder (Kickin' It), Olivia Holt (Kickin' It) and Cole Jenson (Crash & Bernstein).
Drake Bell said that the Marvel reading campaign is aimed at kids who are bored with books, believing comic books are the answer for kids who say they'd rather play video games. “Comic books really get you into the story,” he told TFK(Time For Kids). “They are not just words or pictures on a page.”
Dylan Riley Snyder knows from his experiences that comic books have the power to inspire kids' imagination. His mom was a teacher and she used comic books to interest students who thought they weren't interested in reading. Dylan attended these classes. He would read the comic books and draw the characters along with the students. “It was a great way for these kids to start to enjoy reading,” Dylan said. “That's how I got interested in reading too. Now I can share my love for comic books with others through the Marvel Comics Close-Up program.”
David Levine is the Vice President of Disney XD Worldwide. He said great stories and great characters, like Spider-Man and The Avengers, were key to making reading fun. “Reading can encourage you to explore new things and take you to all sorts of exciting places,” he told TFK.
1.What is the main purpose of the Marvel reading campaign?
A.To donate books to libraries and schools.
B.To encourage students to use the library.
C.To excite children's interest in reading.
D.To introduce some new comic books.
2.By saying “They are not just words or pictures on a page” in Paragraph 3, Drake Bell means ________.
A.comic books make kids imaginative and interested
B.there are colorful pictures in most comic books
C.common books with only words are bad for kids
D.comic books are much better than common books
3.Who stressed the benefit of reading?
A.Drake Bell.
B.Dylan Riley Snyder.
C.Olivia Holt.
D.David Levine.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many of us feel sleepy in winter, but other species often take it a step further and hibernate (冬眠). 1. The body slows down and breathing, temperature and metabolic and heart rate all decrease. Dormice (睡鼠) head underground and hedgehogs (刺猬) hunker down in their nests.
Hibernation seems to do them good. But human cannot bed down for long periods. 2. To work out why we do not, first we need to find out why animals do. The most obvious reason for hibernating is to avoid the cold. Conditions are harsh and there is little food to eat, as fewer plants are growing. 3. Then they live off body-fat reserves until it’s time to wake up.
But a 2015 study of dormice found that they continued hibernating even when cold conditions had ended. 4. The key issue seemed to be connected with their main food: beech trees. The dormice need their seeds to reproduce, or for the baby dormice to gain enough body fat. In a harvest year, they produce plenty of seeds. Somehow the dormice could predict it. Otherwise, they stop reproduction these years and increase their survival by staying underground.
5. By staying out of sight, the dormice avoided being hunted by their predators (天敌) like owls. Until recently people thought hibernation was just about energy saving, a defense against cold weather and food shortage, and now we think it’s more predator avoidance. The survival rates in hibernation are close to 100%.
A. So obviously there are other reasons.
B. They were hibernating underground to save energy.
C. Hibernation is an extended period of energy-saving state.
D. All kinds of animals hibernate, from insects to birds and primates.
E. Why, if it is so beneficial, do we not hibernate?
F. The dormice had another reason to stay underground.
G. So many animals fatten themselves up during summer.

Did you know that many people today are getting extra work by taking translating jobs online?
It’s true! And you can do it too. Many companies in the USA need translators now to translate simple documents online from Chinese to English, such as emails, website content, movie subtitles and more.

Last week, our school had organized an activity to climb the West Mountain. As soon as we arrived at the foot of a mountain, we set out for the summit in high spirits. During the climb, we had such much difficulty passing the rocky areas. But under the teacher’s help, we eventually reached the top, where we greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Seeing from the top, the city was extreme beautiful. This event turned out to be very success. Not only did we take a break from our heavy school work, and also we learned what to communicate with each other.
