题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Two pieces of foreign news caught people’s attention. In the US, 18-year-old Michael Sessions won the mayoral(市长的)election in his town, to become the youngest mayor in the US. A similar thing happened in Britain. Martin Halstead, a high school graduate at 19, set up his own airline company.
Chinese teens admire their skills in getting such important posts. But have you ever thought that you could have the same success?
Burdened with heavy school work, many high school students in China are told to lock themselves in their studies and forget about other things.
But actually this is not wise.
Everyone is different and there is no need to follow the life paths of our ancestors(祖先). Sessions had dreamt of being a politician since he was a child. Halstead was crazy about airplanes and took every chance to learn about them.
So why not think outside the box, as these boys did? Consider your interests when planning your own path through life. Doing this can be more exciting and makes it easier to succeed. Interest is our best teacher.
But dreaming is not enough. A good education is a stepping –stone to a successful career. It helps broaden your horizons(视野)so you understand more about yourself and therefore perform better. That’s the reason Sessions chose while taking charge of his town.
Success still takes work. Without hard work, a dream is just like a cloud in the air that you never can reach.

You don’t need every word to understand the meaning of what you read.In fact, too much emphasis on separate words both and reduces your comprehension.
First, any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient.If you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly.Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency.One is “saying” each word silently by moving your tongue or throat; another is “hearing” each word as you read.
These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago.The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together.Your reading purpose is quite different; it is to understand meaning.
It has been supposed that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for ?expressing? the meaning.The secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness.
An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud.He takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time.If he “says” or “hears” words to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis.

American government has suggested a new plan to increase the study of foreign languages in schools.
Research has shown that childhood is a better time than manhood to learn foreign languages.However, ________ learn only English.Less than one third of American elementary schools teach foreign languages.Only 44 percent of American high school students take a foreign language.And 70 percent of them are learning Spanish.What’s more, the United States doesn’t have enough foreign teachers.
The plan calls for teaching more children foreign languages, as early as the age of four.Most of the new teaching would be in languages not widely taught now in American schools.These include Arabic, Chinese, Farsi(波斯语), Hindi(北印度语)and Russian.It also aims to increase foreign language instruction in colleges and graduate schools.The hope is to bring more foreign language speakers into government service.
Administration officials will ask for 114 million dollars in 2007 to start the program.The money would be used to help foreign-language students pay for their educations.The plan also calls for sending more American students to other countries to study.And it calls for bringing more foreign language teaching assistants to the United States.
In a word, to face the uncertain challenges in the future, America needs more officers, teachers, and students who can understand foreign languages.It will also improve the understanding and cultural exchange between America and other countries around the world.
