　　Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

　　When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “l(fā)ook at weak places in your armor（盔甲）”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks（空白）in your knowledge. On the other hand ,it is no good just trying to fill your mind with Knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning, like a silly tourist（旅游者）going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose , and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

1．The writer thinks that one must ______.

[　　]

A．read as many books as he can

B．try to read books on all the different subjects

C．only read books on subjects that interest him

D．read and absorb a lot

2．A cultured man is similar(相同)to a camel because ______.

[　　]

A．neither of them is interested in knowledge

B．the man reads books as much as a camel eats grass

C．neither of them can be considered wise

D．both of them have the ability to select

3．The term “mental food” at the end of the passage refers to ______.

[　　]

A．books　　　B．grassland

C．brain　　　D．subjects

4．In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.

[　　]

A．how to compare furniture with books

B．how to select reading materials

C．how to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.

D．why books must be absorbed

5．The writer thinks that it is ______ to try to master every subject.

　　When a tornado (龍卷風) destroys a house, it doesn't blow it down the way a hurricane (十二級臺風) does. It makes the house explode. Why does the house explode?

　　The air that surrounds a house presses against it all the time. It usually has a force of about fifteen pounds per square inch. The air inside the house presses out against the walls just as hard. When a tornado passes over a house, it suddenly sucks away the air outside the house. The air inside the house still pushes out against the walls, but now there is nothing pushing back. So the walls are pushed out in an explosion.

    Waves are beautiful to look at, but they can destroy ships at sea, as well as houses and buildings near the shore. What causes waves? Most waves are caused by winds blowing over the surface of the water. The sun heats the earth, causing the air to rise and the winds to blow. The winds blow across the sea, pushing little waves into bigger and bigger ones.

   The size of a wave depends on how strong the wind is , how long it blows, and how large the body of water is . In a small bay（海灣）big waves will never build up. But at sea the wind can build up giant, powerful waves.

   A rule says that the height of a wave(in meters) will usually be no more than one-tenth of the wind’s speed(in kilometers). In other words, when the wind is blowing at 120 kilometers per hour, most waves will be about twelve meters. Of course, some waves may combine to form giant waves that are much higher. In 1933 the United States Navy（海軍）reported the largest measured wave in history. It rose in Pacific Ocean to a height of thirty-four meters.

(1)One can guess the height of a wave by knowing ______ .

A. how fast the wind is blowing

B. how long the wind blows

C. how large the body of water is

D. how the wave is built up

(2)The largest measured wave in history was in ______ .

A. the Indian Ocean　　　B. the Atlantic Ocean

C. the Pacific Ocean　　 D. the Mediterranean Sea

(3)When the wind is blowing at 80 kilometers per hour, the height of most waves will be ______ .

A. about one meter　　　　B. about eight meters

C. about eighty meters　　D. about ten meters

(4)Air rises when ______ .

A. the wind is blowing　　　　B. the body of water is large

C. there is a powerful wave　　D. the sun heats the earth

(5)The best title for this selection is  ______ .

A. What Causes Waves　　　　　B. Beautiful Waves

C. The Largest Waves In History　 D. Waves in the Pacific Ocean
