If you want to get the most out of the study of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with the reading; to try to catch what the writer is going to tell you in the book as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of every single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story if you stop a few times on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may even prevent(妨礙) yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main idea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
小題1:To read for pleasure means _____________.
A．to take pleasure in reading

A．to try to grasp the meaning of every sentence in the book

Having a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, wear strange hairstyle and even fight. Basically (基本上) , they are often taking risks.
Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So what’s the reason?
According to Laurence, a teacher from a US university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers (同齡人) view them—that is “peer influence”.
As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.
In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely.
Why do peers have such a big influence on teens’ behavior?
As Laurence sees it, a teenager’s brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油門) but a weak brake (剎車). The “accelerator” is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake, it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that a violent (暴力的) teenager doesn’t necessarily become a violent adult. About two-thirds to three-quarters of violent youth grow out of it. “They get more self-controlled.”
小題1:What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph mean?
A．Quick.B．Crazy.
C．Careful.D．Correct.
小題2: Why are teenagers often taking risksaccording to the text?
A．They like difficult tasks.
B．They don’t care about costs.
C．They are too young to tell right from wrong.
D．They care a lot about what their peers think of them.
小題3:How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens’ behavior?
A．By using a metaphor (比喻).
B．By giving examples.
C．By presenting research findings.
D．By performing an in-depth analysis (分析).
小題4:According to the text, with peers around them, teenagers tend to (傾向于) ______.
A．use more self-control
B．become more careful about what they do
C．perform better than when they are alone
D．focus more on short-term benefits（利益）
小題5:What can we learn from the text?
A．Teenagers are easy to have traffic accidents.
B．Peer influence is bad on teenagers.
C．Most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up.
D．Teenagers shouldn’t spend all the free time with their friends.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。
It was early evening on September 14th. Glen James, a homeless man was passing by a store inBoston when he happened upon a black bag. To see whose the bag is, Glen opened it only to find that it was filled with money - $2,400 in cash and almost $40,000 in traveler’s checks, as well as, a passport and other papers.
While other people in similar situations would have been tempted (引誘), Glen who has been homeless since 2005, did not even think twice. He showed the bag to a police officer, and the police officer gave it back to a Chinese tourist who had reported it lost. What Glen did was reported by newspapers, all over the country.
While most people that read itfelt surprised at the man’s honesty, 27-year-old Ethan Whittington thought Glen should get money for what he did. So he decided to set up a money collection website. He set a goal of $50,000, which he believed was reasonable because it was more than what Glen had discovered in the bag. The marketing manager fromVirginia thought he would be lucky to raise a few hundred dollars. Instead, within just a day, the website had gone over the $50,000 goal, encouraging Ethan to set a higher goal of $250,000 so that he could help Glen buy a house and start a new life.
As of now, $113,000 has been raised. Ethan who has talked to Glen over the phone, plans to visit Boston soon and also help him manage the money wisely. Needless to say, the homeless man is surprised at whathe is receiving for doing the right thing – Honesty, certainly pays off!
小題1:Did Glen find money in the black bag?
小題2:Who gave the bag back to the Chinese tourist?
小題3:What did Ethan decide to do after he read the news of Glen?
小題4:How much money has been raised by now?
