How can I improve my reading speed ?‎ Thanks!‎ Peter Hello, my friends,‎ Increasing your speed in reading has both good and bad parts. You can increase your reading speed, but your understanding and comprehension may go down. So you have to be careful to increase your speed in reading. You should make sure you are understanding everything you read, or it won't be beneficial to increasing your reading.‎ As with every good thing, it takes time. The best way to increase reading speed is to practice. Just like anything else we do over and over, we will get better at it. So practice reading, practice concentrating on what you are reading so that you don't have to go back and read the same paragraph over again (that really slows down your reading speed). And slowly you will begin to read faster and faster. Imagine that you are running a foot race. Will you run very fast the first time and win? Of course not. None of us would expect that we would. ‎ If I were to ask you what is your recommendation to me for learning to read Chinese, what would you tell me? What if I told you that I wanted to learn to speak, write and read Chinese by next week? You would think that I am crazy. Do you agree? So practice reading slowly at first and then read again and again. You will read fast. ‎ Have a great day and don't run faster than you have the strength to run.‎ Bye.‎ Dave ‎ ‎39. According to Dave, improving reading speed may ______.‎ A. help the reader think in English . ‎ B. help the reader get a better understanding ‎ C. influence the reader's understanding ‎ D. influence the reader's listening ‎ ‎40. What is the most important thing when we read according to Dave?‎ A. Speed. B. Vocabulary. C. Comprehension. D. Culture background.‎ ‎41. Which of the following sayings best shows Dave' s advice?‎ A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A good beginning is half done.‎ C. Do as the Romans do. D. Practice makes perfect.‎ ‎42. As a beginner, reading slowly _______.‎ A. is not beneficial B. is unusual C. is not wise D. is natural ‎ D Smoking, which may be a pleasure for some people, is a series of discomfort for their fellows. Medical scientists have expressed their concern about effect of ‎ smoking on the health not only of those who smoke but also those who do not smoke. In fact, non -smokers who take in the air polluted by tobacco smoke suffer more than the smokers themselves. A great number of students are trying to persuade the university to forbid smoking in classrooms. Believe they are completely right in their aim. However, I think it more important to achieve this by calling on the smokers to use good judgment and to show concern for others. Smoking is not allowed in theaters, cinemas and in other public places. Therefore, smoking must be forbidden in our classroom. Although many people have passed away for having smoked a lot and we call on people to give up smoking, yet many more that are following will turn down what we say every day, above all, the young people smoke a lot more.‎ ‎43. In the writer's opinion, smoking does good to ______.‎ A. smokers B. some people C. nobody D. young people ‎ ‎44. The underlined phrase "pass away" probably means______．‎ A. lose one's life B. leave one's home C. pass by D. go away ‎ ‎45. According to the passage, which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. Smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the non - smokers. ‎ B. Non - smokers suffer from the polluted air more than the smokers.‎ C. Non - smokers suffer as much from the polluted air as the smokers.‎ D. Non - smokers don' t suffer so much from the polluted air as the smokers.‎ 七选五（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to learn a foreign language.‎ ‎1.

Yet what should we do in order to achieve success? The following are some suggestions. ‎ First, it's important to have a good state of mind, for it not only helps us to relax but also enables us to overcome difficulties bravely. Meanwhile, we should have a definite goal and a correct estimation of ourselves. Only in this way will we not be easily pleased or disappointed with what we have known and done. Besides, we'd better sometimes talk with our parents, teachers or classmates, who may help us out when in trouble. Finally, a proper balance between study and rest keeps us energetic and a healthy diet is useful as well. ‎ With these done, I figure we can greatly improve our performance. ‎
