B

Today we’ll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate(停留，凝視)．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span(視幅)．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any parson according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.

Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis(強(qiáng)調(diào))on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids(金字塔)，so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（連續(xù)的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it' s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated(孤立的)words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．

1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except ______________.

A．1ighting and tiredness

B. the length of a group of words

C．one’s purpose in reading

D．one’s familiarity with the text

2.The author may believe that reading ______________.

A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation

B．requires a reader to see words more quickly

C．demands a deeply-participating mind

D．demands more eyes than mind

3.What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A．The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading．

B．The reading exercises mentioned are useless for reading.

C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help improve reading.

D．The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far.

4.Which of the following is NOT true? _______________．

A．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time

B．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training

C．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading

D．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text

5.The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________．

A．critical B．neutral

C．supportive D．optimistic

I hate nosy (愛管閑事的) neighbors and it’s very unlucky that I had one for myself. They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family, I’ve always hated the way they get “too close” to me, my house, my garden, and even my garbage cans.

One day, my neighbors were mowing their lawn (草坪). My garbage cans were near their lawn. For some strange reason, I found the wife looking through my garbage cans. I felt angry but since they were from a different culture, I thought that maybe it was “normal” from their ideas.

That afternoon, the couple knocked on my front door. When I opened, they gave me a plastic bag. Inside were my old daily bills, credit cards and bank statements, and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent. They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others.

I’ve heard of it before. I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience, which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us. The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills. They also had a “nosy neighbor” who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange. Little did they know that this “nosy neighbor” was collecting their personal information from their rubbish. Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor.

It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left. I was very thankful. They were not nosy neighbors. They simply didn’t want us to experience the same thing that they did.

1.What made the author angry?

A. His neighbor’s wife was looking through his rubbish.

B. His neighbors were mowing their lawn one morning.

C. His neighbors got too close to his own home.

D. His neighbors came to knock at his door at night.

2.Why did the couple come to the author’s home?

A. To introduce themselves to the author.

B. To get to know each other better.

C. To return the documents to the author.

D. To borrow some money from the author.

3.Which of the following can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The author was kind and helpful to the neighbors.

B. The neighbors had to move from place to place.

C. The neighbors didn’t have enough money.

D. The author changed his idea about his neighbors.
