Unit 1

Educational researchers have found that there is a strong relationship between reading and

academic success. In other words, a student who is a good reader is more 1 to do well in

schoo1and pass exams than a student who is a weak reader. Good readers can understand

the individual sentences and the organizational structure of a piece of writing. They can

comprehend ideas, 2 arguments, and detect implications. They know most of the words in

the text already, but they can also determine the meaning of many of the 3 words from

the context—failing this, they can use their dictionary effectively to do so. In summary, good

readers can obtain from the writing what is important for the particular task they are

employed in (从事于). And they can do it quickly!

Educational researchers have also found a strong relationship between reading and

vocabulary acquaintance. In other words, students who have a large vocabulary are usually

good readers. This is not very surprising, since the best way to acquire a large vocabulary is

to read a lot. And if you read 4 you are like1y to be or become a good reader! So if you

want your child to be successful at school, encourage him or her to read. Reading non-fiction

(非小说类文学) in English is probably the most important, but English fiction and any reading

in the mother 5 --if done at length—will help your child develop the reading competence

that is essential for academic achievement. Good book lists can be found in just about any

library.

E. acquire F. inspire G. tongue H. unfamiliar

Unit 4

What do we mean by “a perfect English pronunciation”? In one 1 there are as many

different kinds of English as there are speakers of it.

How do we decide what sort of English to use as a 2 ? This is not a question that can be

answered in the same way for all foreign learners of English.

If you live in a part of the world like India or West Africa, where there is a long tradition of

speaking English for general communication purposes, you should tend to 3 a good

variety of the pronunciation in this area. It would not be a fashion in these circumstances to

use as a model BBC English or anything of the sort.

Unit 8

In the American family, the husband and wife usually share important decision-making.

When the children are old enough, they take part as well. Foreigners are often surprised by

the permissiveness of American parents. The old rule that “children should be seen and not

be heard” is rarely followed, and children are often allowed to do what they wish without strict

parental 1 . The father seldom expects his children to obey him without question, and

children are encouraged to be independent at an early age. Some people believe that

American parents carry this freedom too far. Others think that a strong father image would

not suit the American 2 of equality and independence. Because Americans emphasize

the importance of independence, young people are expected to break away from their

families by the time they have reached their late teens or early twenties. Not to do so is,

indeed often regarded as a failure, a kind of weak dependence.

This 3 of independence often results in serious problems for the aging parents. The

average American is expected to live beyond the age of 70. The job-retirement age is usually

65. The children have left home, married, and 4 their own households. At least 20% of

all people over 65 do not have enough retirement incomes. But the major problem of many

elderly couples is not 5 . They feel useless and lonely with neither an occupation nor a

close family group to occupy their time.

E) economic F) control T) put off N) pattern
