Individuals who often read fiction appear to better understand other people, empathize(共鸣) with them and view the world from their perspective. A study found a(an) __36___ result in young children: the more stories read to them, the __37__ their “theory of mind,” or mental model of other people’s intentions.
“Deep reading” —as __38__ to the superficial reading we do on the Web — is an __39__ practice, one we should take steps to __40__ as we would a historic building or a significant work of art. Its __41__ would put in danger the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as literature that can be __42__ only by readers whose brains, quite __43__ , have been trained to understand them.
Recent research has demonstrated that deep reading is a __44__ experience, different from the mere decoding of words. __45__ deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a __46__ book, the built-in limits of the printed page are uniquely conducive(有助于) to the deep reading experience.

The deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are different, both __49__ the experience they produce and the __50__ they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less __51__ and less satisfying, even for the “digital natives” for whom it is so familiar.
When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the __52__ of their reading actually slows. The __53__ of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with __54__, analysis, and opinions.

(REUTERS/Jason Lee) Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China’s central bank, a high-level Chinese official on Sunday made the government’s first admission that the country’s economic slowdown was not going as planned. He told a meeting of regional leaders that his country’s growth rate had tumbled "a bit too much."
"China's inflation is also declining, so we need to be very careful to see if the disinflation trend will continue, and if deflation will happen or not," said Zhou, His remarks were made at the Boao Forum for Asia, an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China. Zhou added that China could "have room to act" by taking "quantitative measures" and setting interest rates.
For many, the way he described China’s health was no surprise. The country’s economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s. Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins. Banks are carrying loads of debt, too, and the housing market is slowing. China’s official 2021 GDP growth target is 7%, but that seems shaky.
Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China. Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption. It is a brutal process, but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the self-sustaining superpower it wants to be.
(Barlcays)Until now, while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was rough, it had assured the world that the situation was under control. Just a few weeks ago, Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures.
Now it seems they are warming to the idea. In January, China’s headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%, then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February. March probably isn’t looking that great either from the People’s Bank of China’s point.

"Widening PPI deflation and soft CPI inflation, especially after adjusting for seasonal effects, point to persistent deflation risks," Barclays wrote after February's number came out. "In our view, the monetary policy needs to be more 'proactive' in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term."
58. Which of the following illustrates “growth rate had tumbled” in Paragraph 1?
A. setting interest rates B. economic transition
C. bounce of CPI D. FIGURE 1
59. We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could be _______ if needed.
A. monitoring deflation B. expanding foreign investment
C. making new policy measures D. reducing domestic consumption
60. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A. Zhou's admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsible.
B. The Chinese government has admitted that things aren't going so well.
C. China should be more active in its struggle against inflation.
D. China's economy has been growing fast since the 1990s.

Alan, 17, was randomly shot and killed by a gang member. His father, Keith, and his mother, Donna, were filled with anger as they followed the all-consuming ongoing investigation into the killing. A close couple, friends of Keith and Donna's, dropped in one evening and said to them, "You have to accept this loss. Your son is gone and none of this is going to bring him back. All you need now is acceptance." Keith got angry with his friend and asked, "What part of Alan's death don't you think I accept? Believe me, I hate to be in so much pain."
Acceptance is not about liking a situation. It is about acknowledging all that has been lost and learning to live with that loss. It would be too soon for Keith to be able to accept the situation. He can acknowledge the reality of the loss, but it would be unrealistic to think he should have found some peace with it by then.
The gang member who killed Alan was sentenced to life in prison, and Keith and Donna went back to their own lives. But Keith actually had a new loss to deal with, an emptiness, which made the absence of his son's los
