3.Jenny: Some kids are making fun of me because I’m in honors math and read 800-page books．Isn’t that something to be proud of?

Foxes and farmers have never got on well．These small dog-like animals have long been scolded for killing farm animals．They are officially regarded as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them．

    Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population．Hunters hunt a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses．When the dogs finally catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it．

    People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict rules of behavior．But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy．

    It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting．But over the last couple of decades the number of people who object to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply．Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation （冲突）between hunters and hunt saboteurs （阻拦者）．Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox’s smell, which the dogs follow．

    Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the hunting of foxes itself．But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their support．A labor Party Member of the Parliament , Mike Foster , is trying to get parliament to pass a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal （非法的）．If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain．

1．Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ______________.

A．for fun                                                       B．to limit the fox population

    Effective reading should adopt a correct way, and then you can get more by paying less．Here are some hints for reading effectively．

1.___________

Don’t choose a rather difficult book or a too easy one for yourself to read．A book full of new words will make you feel discouraged quickly．To understand those new words, you have to turn to the dictionary quite often．It seems that you are not reading the book but the dictionary．It has no fun at all! On the contrary, a too easy one will only waste your time and cannot do any help．The two extremes may at last make you give up reading．So it’s better for you to find a proper book with no more than five new words on each page．

2._____________

If you come across a new word, do not look it up in a dictionary as quickly as possible．Leave it alone and guess the meaning of it based on the content of the text．        This ability is quite necessary in reading．If you know your guess is right later, you will be highly excited at your “success”, and your interest in reading is well stimulated．If a word really hinders you from understanding the whole passage, turn to the dictionary by then．I am sure you can remember this word very well, as it has left you such a deep impression for its “troublesome image．”

3.___________

To comprehend what you are reading, you should think while you are reading, then from your own ideas on some special issues．Try to scribble some lines-a very short journal, to express your ideas．Your writing does not need to be quite formal but expressive．This practice can make you communicate with the original English authors．Day by day, your way of thinking in English will turn into a native way, which is quite important for English writing．

4._____________

Language has its own beauty, no matter Chinese or English．Don’t merely take English as a “test”．Take it as an “entertainment” instead and you will enjoy it through learning．

Maybe you should find some beautiful literary works such as a prose or a poem to read, if you like．Try top read them as loudly and impassionedly as you can．During this process, not only you can enjoy yourself by the great emotions of the writers, but also your pronunciation and your manner of speaking English will be improved．

5.______________

The last but not the least, keep on reading．If you cannot keep it as a habit, you will suffer from paying without gaining．
