Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.
When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she told me the general meaning of what we just read.
In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it. I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get into trouble for not being able to understand. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University?
By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at a very slow speed. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed-reading. Then I developed my own way which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better. I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the general picture. (317 words)

Part 3 Reading Comprehension     (Each item: 1)
Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.
The years from 14 until the early 20s are for becoming an adult, for separating from parents. This is the time when a son develops a life which is quite separate from the family.
He has teachers you hardly know, experiences you never hear about and challenges that you cannot help him with. There have to be others to act as a bridge, and this is what mentors（良师益友）do.
We should not leave youngsters in a group of friends at this age without adult care. But a mentor is more than a teacher: A mentor is special to the child and the child is special to the mentor.
Teenagers suffer badly if their parents have fewer friends. I know this from experience. When my parents moved to Australia, they were already shy people and became even shyer once we were here. They never found a group or friendship circle into which we teenagers could enter bit by bit. As a result, when my sister and I hit the middle of the teen years, we had to break out into the big world all of a sudden.
If there are no mentors around, a young man will fall into a lot of troubles in growing up. Teenagers at this age have so many either-or choices and decisions – about sex, job choices or drugs and alcohol.
If Mom and Dad keep spending time with them, teenagers will keep talking to them about these things. But there will be a need to talk to other adults, too.
One study showed that just one good adult friend outside the family was a “good anchor” for the teenager.
The worst thing we can do with teenagers is to leave them alone. This is why we need the help of really great teachers and youth workers at this age.

Directions: Read the following passage(s) carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Yukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his company sent him to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United States.
Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open and honest though at the same he felt curious about them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.
But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever, friendly and good-looking. Cindy was also a student studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way, Cindy found Yukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.
But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Yukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him. But Cindy doesn’t speak any Japanese. She fears that Yukio wants her to become an ordinary wife and have children right away. Cindy wants Yukio to stay in New York City.
They feel very bad, not knowing what they should do. Should they stay in New York? Should they go to Japan? Sometimes they think they should separate, but they also feel they cannot live without each other.
