22、When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. Here are some good reading tips.

【1】 Read something that you can understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.

Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. 【2】 Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.

Try to read regularly（定期地）. 【3】 Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.

Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. 【4】 You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. It is easy enough to understand and also there is something interesting in it.

Why is the sky blue?

27、Children grew up and went off to university. The mirror, which had reflected a young mom when Indigo first arrived, now showed a woman in late middle age. I had eye problems. I also began to lose my hearing. We all turned gray: me, my husband and the dog.

In August 2022, I took Indigo for one last walk. She was slow and weak. She looked up at me sadly, as if she was saying, “You did say you would take care of me when the time came. You promised, Jenny.” She died that month, a tennis ball by her side. Not long after, I got a call from our dog day care. One of their customers was dying, and her dog, Chloe, needed a home. Given our recent loss, they asked if our family were interested in accepting her. I told them that we were sorry but we wouldn’t be accepting any more dogs. I’d owned quite a few dogs since 1969, each one of them a witness（见证）to a period of my life, but with the loss of Indigo, all that was over. The days of my dogs, I now understood, were done at last.

Then one morning, as I was passing the dog day care in my car, I pulled over. I could at least lay eyes upon this Chloe. What harm could it do? She had a soft face and watery eyes. When Chloe entered our house, she was careful, sensitive and uncertain. She spent hours that first day going to every corner, smelling things out. What a curious baby, which was exactly like Indigo the first day at home. Finally, she sat down by the fireplace and gave me a look that said, “If you want, I will stay with you.”

【1】What can we mainly learn from the story?

A．Jenny couldn’t see anything at all.

B．Jenny used to look at the mirror.

C．Both Jenny and her husband became old.

D．Indigo was ill seriously.

【2】Why did Jenny refuse to accept any more dogs?

A．Because she wouldn’t like to keep a strange dog at home.

B．Because she was old and she couldn’t stand the pain of losing another dog.

C．Because she didn’t have enough time to raise another dog.

D．Because she was afraid that the dog would bring trouble to her.

【3】What did Jenny do with Chloe in the end?

A．She accepted her.

B．She didn’t raise her.

C．She sent her to a dog day care.

D．She found a new owner for her.

【4】Which of the following words could best describe the story?

B．Boring.

C．Amazing.

D．Moving.

28、阅读下面短文，根据括号内所给汉语写出单词的正确形式（每空一词）。

It’s said that Chinese can be difficult to learn as it does not have any Latin roots like many of the languages used in the 【1】 (西方的) world, such as English, 【2】 (法语) and German. It has 【3】 (千) of characters, which have a completely different structure from 【4】 (拼写) with the alphabets in English. The way a Chinese character is 【5】 (写) out also has little or no relation to how it is pronounced, which can make dictation and learning the right 【6】 (发音) a tough task.

But the Chinese language does have its 【7】 (自己的) benefits. There is much less 【8】 (语法) in Chinese language. For example, there is no such thing as 【9】 (现在的), past and future tenses and plural form is not needed. If you keep trying, you can make progress quickly and find great 【10】 (乐趣) learning it.
