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 words they 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 ofbooks 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 reallymean 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 , 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 is,an 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.reading little and thinking little B.reading often and adventurously C.being made to read too much D.being made to read aloud before others42. The teacher told his students to read. A. for enjoymentB. for knowledge C. for a larger vocabularyD. for higher scores in exams43. Upon hearing the teachers talk, the children probably felt that.A.it sounded stupidB.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 skipped over those easy parts while reading.B.She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks.C.She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books.D.She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school.45. From the teachers point of view, .A.children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while readingB.children should be left to decide what to read and how to readC.reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in schoolD.reading involves understanding every little piece of informationBGraphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentage, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot mortpages and pages explaining the data.Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text.Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend orkey, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the authors main point as well .The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used . the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a comer. Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures.Bar GraphsA bar graph has two axes and uses bars to showamounts. In Graph 1 , we see that the x-axis shows gradesthat students earned, and the y-axis shows how manystudents earned each grade. You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on thevertical measurement. There is a lot of information we canget from a simple graph like this (See Graph 1).Line GraphsA line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of bars, it plots points and connects them with a line. It has the same parts as a bar graph - two labeled axes - and can be read the same way. To read a line graph, its important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points. This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2).The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days, the unit ot measurement lor the y-axis iskilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2, which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the birds migration.Pie GraphsA typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle isdivided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole.A pie graph might include a legend, or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows one month s expenses (See Graph 3).Food $25Movies $ 12 Clothing $36Savings $20 Books $746.When used in a graph, a legend is.A. a guide to the symbols and colorsB. an introduction paragraphC. the main ideaD. the data47.What is the total number of students who earned a C or better?A. 4.B. 6.C. 10.D. 20.48.The bird covered the longest distance on .A.

Clothing.CIf humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnalspecies on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sunslight. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal betngs. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences - called light pollution -whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. Ill-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the levels and ligh
