33、ar-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day, was playing the saxophone on a street comer. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and
34、his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, Thats fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything. Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as
35、proper not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want-not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism, military history-whatever interests you as your confidence grows.

36、ited in any way. If you have the vocabulary-or at least a good dictionary near at hand-you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and made sense of the authors words. In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress thr
37、ough school. They must take their assignments, armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidante. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is desig
38、ned to accomplish several tasks: to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader. 49.

40、ician C. the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly D. Clifford was a good music teacher 51. We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills _. A. is directed to elementary school students B. centers around vocabulary building skills C. aims at helping students read bett
41、er D. offers elementary reading skills 52. With good reading skills, you can_. A. understand anything you read without difficulty B. work out the authors meaning only if you concentrate on the book C. understand what you read with the help of a good dictionary D. concentrate on whatever you read 第二节
