26、Reading is a great way to improve your English. You'll learn new words, revise previously-taught structures and absorb thousands of useful expressions and phrases... without any effort. By reading, you are receiving valuable language input. And this is how you learn! Remember, language learning is a combination of input + practice. As you're reading, you're taking in language naturally, and you're seeing how it all fits together. This is crucial to your learning.

The great thing about reading is that learning takes place subconsciously. There are no exercises to do, no grammar rules to learn, no tasks to complete... it's all natural. The language flows in through your eyes, and gets recorded in your brain. What could be easier?

The key to effective reading is to read things that you want to read. There are millions of books, magazines and websites out there. You couldn't possibly read them all. So, the important thing is to find things that you like reading. Then, you'll be motivated to read. And then the reading won't be difficult. It'll be easy! And then you'll learn. It's simple.

Remember: read what you want to read. What you like reading. What motivates and inspires you. But where can you start? Well, you could read a book that you've already read in your own language. Simply find a translated version of a book that you have read and enjoyed. This will make processing the content in the target language much easier as you’ll already know what the book is about! You could also read the news. This is great as you can read the news in your own language first, then in English. You'll see that it won't be too difficult as you'll be familiar with the topics and stories. Magazines are also great. Find one that covers a topic you're interested in: business, clothing, guns, horses, houses, housekeeping, stocks and shares, sports, computers, electronics, designing, cooking... you name it, they'll have it. If not, look for information on the internet. There are also websites for every topic under the sun! Why not join a forum? They're a great source of English input as the language is often written in a simple, spoken style. Go to Google Groups, which has discussion groups based on common interests. Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.

Finally, how you read is also important. The best thing is to read without using a dictionary. Let the words flow over you. Just skip the parts you don't understand. If you make your reading feel too much like work, it'll stop being fun. Of course, you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently, but try not to break your concentration too much. Also, set yourself mini-objectives. For example, if you're reading a novel, read 20 pages a day. Very soon, you'll have been exposed to thousands of useful phrases and words. Have fun reading! You'll learn so much!

【1】The underlined word “crucial” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

A. easy B. important   C. difficult   D. suitable

【2】The key to effective reading is _______.

A. to read millions of books B. not to learn grammar rules

【3】You can start to read by ____.

A. reading a book that you've already read in English

B. reading the news in English first

C. going to Google Groups to practice spoken English

D. reading magazines containing topics you are interested in

【4】From the passage we can learn that ______.

A. when you read you needn’t look up every new word in the dictionary

B. the great thing about reading is that you can read without any effort

C. to read is as much fun as to work

D. you should make notes of every new word and phrase while reading

27、When I was going home to India last year, I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.

When India had not opened up its markets to the world, I carried suitcase loads of dark glasses and jeans. Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now. Still, her answer surprised me, “Green tea”.

As long as I can remember she didn’t even drink Indian tea. I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.

At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average Indian. It was a strange country.

How things change! And how soon! Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.

The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China.”

But it’s a two­way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.

No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, was expected to hit about US $15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.

No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian century as the two countries started on January 1st the Sino­Indian Friendship Year.

But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

【1】Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea?

A．She believed it had a curing effect.

B．She had a son working in China.

C．She was tired of Indian tea.

D．She was fond of Chinese products.

【2】What does the author mean by “it’s a two­-way street” in Paragraph 7?

A．The exchanges between India and China benefit both.

B．Tea trade works wonders in both India and China.

C．Chinese products are popular in both China and India.

D．China and India have different traffic rules.

【3】What do we know about the Indian IT industry?

A．It will move its head office to Shenzhen.

B．It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion

C．It is seeking further development in China.

D．It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.

【4】In the text the author expresses________.

A．his concern for his mother’s health

B．his surprise at China’s recent development

C．his support for drinking Chinese green tea

D．his wonder at the growth of India’s IT industry

【5】What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A．the government of India

B．sending a team to China

C．opening doors for foreign investment

D．China market

28、Don’t talk to me; I’m busy with my iPhone.

Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.

Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.

Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps” (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.

Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.

For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.

And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.

【1】People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy___.

A．going to work

B．reading books

C．thinking private things

D．playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films.

【2】Those who like war games can download ___to their iPhones.

A．iShoot

B．Tube Exits

C．iSteam

D．iPod

【3】The underlined word   “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means _____.

A．delighted

B．busy

C．amused

D．controlled

【4】The article tells us that___.

A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers

B．Apple has earned a lo of money from selling 40,000 iPhones

C．technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.

D．with all the new time-fillers, London commuters often forget to get off the train
