When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that
2、we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they dont know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, a
3、nd to get them to read oftener and more adventurously. One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for
4、pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, thats enough for me. Also Im not going to ask you what words mean. ”The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher
5、talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, “Mr Holt, do you really mean that? ”I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it. ”
6、During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It cant be, ”and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick, in the edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don
7、t you find parts of it rather heavy going? ”She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. ”This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom isan exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad part
8、s, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了作者让学生自主读书的体验, 不规定他们必须大声朗读, 让他们选择自己喜欢阅读的内容, 不提问, 不检查。这样很受学生欢迎。41.

14、不提问, 不检查, 可知B正确。B(2015浙江高考B说明文)Graphs can be a very useful tool for conveying information, especially numbers, percentages, and other data. A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more efficient than pages and pages explaining the data. Graphs can seem frightening, but rea
15、ding a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title, a main idea, and supporting details. You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text. Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title, a legend or key,
16、 and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from(for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the authors main point as well. The
17、 title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key, is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner. Usually thes
18、e axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph. Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures. Bar GraphsA bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1, we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows how many
19、 students earned each grade. You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1). Line GraphsA line graph looks similar to a bar graph, but instead of bars, it
20、 plots points and connects them with a line. It has the same parts as a bar graphtwo labeled axesand can be read the same way. To read a line graph, its important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points. This type of graph is most commonly used to show
21、 how something changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first five days of its spring migration(See Graph 2). The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that, on the first day, the pipit
22、flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2, which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2. If the line segment angled down, as between Day 4 and Day 5, it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell th
23、e reader about the birds migration. Pie GraphsA typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents 100 percent, so each piece is a fraction of t
24、he whole. A pie graph might include a legend, or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows one months expenses(See Graph 3).

27、umans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars, we would go in darkness happily, the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的)species on this planet. Instead, we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the suns light. This is a basi
28、c evolutionary fact, even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequencescalled light pollutionwhose ef

Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design, which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky. -designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levelsand light rhythmsto which
30、 many forms of life, including ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected.

Weve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further from the truth. Among mammals alone, the n
32、umber of nocturnal species is astonishing. Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being “captured” by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Mi

42、 the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other(particularly women)with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hourstheres no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.
43、 Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls. In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received w
44、ith two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率)is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both pe

In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pul
46、l away from the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部)and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your l
47、eft hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented. In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by las

Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their compani
