When children are little, we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the wordsthey are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean. ”The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it.”During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It cant be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick (白鲸记), in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. ”This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom isan exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book.41. According to the passage, childrens fear and dislike of books may result from_.A. being made to read too much B. reading little and thinking little C. reading often and adventurously D. being made to read aloud before others42. The teacher told his students to read_ .A. for enjoyment B. for knowledgeC. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams43. Upon hearing the teachers talk, the children probably felt that_.A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at allC. it sounded too good to be trueD. it was no different from other teachers talk44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage?A. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.B. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.C. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.D. She skipped over those easy parts while reading.45. From the teachers point of view, _ .A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolC. children should be left to decide what to read and how to readD. reading involves understanding every little piece of informationCThere are now many products and services on the market which are similar in content though produced by different companies. It is vital, therefore, for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable. Logos are part of this image. They are symbols which often include a name or initials to identify a company. The logo establishes a visual identity for the company, just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes. All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colors and symbols to show their identity. In different cultures, different colors carry different meanings. Some colors may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another; some colors represent life in one culture but death in another. International companies have, therefore, to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood in different countries. The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world. One of the most famous logos is that of Coca-Cola. The design of the words Coca-Cola has not changed since 1886, although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time. Many companies have, over the years, renewed their logos to fit in with contemporary design and to present more powerful images. Company logos can be emotive and can inspire loyalty by influencing the subconscious （潜意识的）. Some logos include an idea of the product: the steering wheel in the Mercedes logo, for example, and the aero plane tail of Alitalia. Logos are used on packaging and brochures as well as on the product itself. They may also appear in newspapers or on television as part of an advertising campaign. Companies need to have a strong corporate identity. The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers. Logos, therefore, need to be original and to have impact and style. 46. The most basic function of a companys logo is to _.A. project a positive image of the company and its products or servicesB. make the products and services of the company more recognizableC. distinguish the company from its realistic and potential competitorsD. describe the business the company is engaged for the consumers47. What are the usual compositions of a companys logo? A. T
