23、od Makes Women Smarter D. An Important StudyB考单招 上高职单招网I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of
24、information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either i
25、ts irony (嘲讽) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book more than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred p
26、ages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization.” “More than anything
27、 else in my life,” the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos The R
28、epublic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by me time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself th
29、at I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.31. On heating the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought _. 考单招 上高职单招网A. a student should not have a complicated ideaB. one must read as many books as possible C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD. s
30、tudents ought to make a list of the books they had read32. While at high school, the writer _. A. only read books over 100 pages B. learned to educate himselfC. had plans for reading D. read only one book several times33. The underlined phrase “with finality” probably means _.A. pleasantly B. clearl
31、y C. proudly D. firmly34. The writers purpose in mentioning The Republic is to _. A. explain why it was included in the listB. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listC. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understandD. prove that he understood most of it because he

A. show how he developed his point of viewB. explain that he read many books at high schoolC. introduce the two persons reading methods 考单招 上高职单招网D. tell his reading experience at high school CNow let us look at how we read. When w
33、e read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop -the d
34、uration of the fixation -varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improveme
35、nt courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are fl
36、ashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and mo
37、re words at each successive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but its one thing to improve a persons ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, f
38、or these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any 考单招 上高职单招网approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.36. The time of the recognition span can be affected
