四．Reading Comprehension (30分)

A

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿

者). The training I received, though excellent, didn't not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.

My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found

out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.

As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to

make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.

As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I

may have learned more from the experience than Marie did. 36. What did the writer do last summer?

A. She worked in the supermarket. B. She helped someone to learn to read. C. She helped some single mothers. D. She was trained by a literacy volunteer.

37. Why didn't Marie go to the supermarket by bus at first?

A. Because she liked to walk to the supermarket. B. Because she didn't have a bus schedule. C. Because she couldn't afford the bus ticket. D. Because she couldn't find the right bus.

38. How did Marie use to find the goods she wanted in the supermarket?

A. She knew where the goods were in the supermarket. B. She asked others to take her to the right place. C. She managed to find the goods by their looks. D. She remembered the names of the goods.

39. Which of the statements is TRUE about Marie?

A. She could do many things she had not been able to before. B. She was able to read stories with the help of her son. C. She decided to continue her studies in school. D. She helped to build up my self-confidence.

Get Smarter in a week!

Wednesday Go to Yoga class, and talk to someone you don't know. Thursday Take a different route to work; use your computer mouse with your wrong” hand for an hour. Friday Saturday Avoid Caffeine(咖啡因) or alcohol; watch a quiz show on TV. Brush your teeth with your “wrong” hand and take a shower with your eyes closed; memorize your shopping list. Sunday Monday Tuesday

Do the crossword puzzle(字谜游戏) in your paper and take a quick walk. Have fish for dinner; go to school or work by bike or on foot. Select unfamiliar words from the dictionary and work them into conversations. It seems too simple: watching a quiz show, doing a crosswords, remembering telephone

numbers and taking a shower with your eyes closed. Yet these “brain exercises” can make us all up to 40 percent cleverer within seven days, according to a BBC program shown last week.

“IQ has traditionally been thought of as a fixed measure of someone’s intelligence,” said

Philip Morrow, executive producer of the program, Get Smarter in a Week. “But an increasing body of scientific opinion holds that you can take steps in your life to actually improve your brainpower. You can do it by, for example, enhancing your memory, working on your spatial(空间的) awareness, doing things differently and eating healthily. Scientists say you will see noticeable

improvements within a week.” The program put scientists’ growing belief that lifestyle changes influence intelligence to test.

The BBC production team earlier did trial runs among 15 volunteers, who each followed a

“get smarter” schedule for a week. What they found was that some performed up to 40 percent better than in the initial assessment, 10 percent.

“This program shows everyone can get smarter, and feel better, if they do these simple

things,” said Morrow.

40. This BBC program is trying to prove the idea that ________.

A. brainpower is what one is born with and can not be enhanced. B. one can improve his brainpower by living in a different lifestyle. C. once a person’s IQ is measured, it is fixed and will never change. D. everyone’s brainpower is determined by his own lifestyle.

41. If you do what is suggested in the table, all of the following may happen EXCEPT that you will _________.

A. become sharper in mind

B. become confident

D. lose weight in a short period

C. get better at making decisions

42. Suppose the team has worked out a 50-page Get Smarter Guide, which suggestion will probably be included?

A. Watch soap operas before going to bed. B. Have fast food five days a week. C. Move around your home, eyes covered. D. Take an elevator to the office every day.

Nearly a quarter of British workers plug in their MP3 players to listen to music while on the

job--- sparking lively debate over whether they should be banned, a study said.

Over 30 percent of companies have outlawed using devices like the ipod in the workplace,

according to Woods Bagot, an international design practice.

“By wearing the highly-visible, white headphones, they’re…sending a signal to colleagues

that they don't want to be bothered,” said Simon Pole, head of a company.

According to the study, 22 percent of workers spend an average of three hours per day

listening to MP3 players. But some argue that the trend is only natural: previously(先前的) workers were physically separated by walls, whereas offices are increasingly open-plan nowadays, pushing them to erect(建立) new barriers.

“The MP3 player is the simplest way to create your own office,” said the company. And Cary
