Think of the difference between watching television and 9 a book. Watching television is a passive experience. You sit, you look, and you listen. Such concentration is 10 by outside stimulation. Reading a book, on the other hand, requires 11 concentration. As you read, you must put in a great deal of effort to look at the words, 12 out what they mean, and build up images, thoughts and opinions within your 13 . During your reading , if you stop concentrating, even 14 a second, everything stops. Nothing happens until you start concentrating again. For this reason, reading regularly forces you to 15 your powers of concentration, a skill whose value would be difficult to over praise. ( A) 1.

However, it was in the late 70s that they became more 16 . Throughout the 80s, more and more people began taking up the sport, even though snowboards were not allowed on most ski hills. 17 its earlier problems, snowboarding is now the worlds 18 growing winter sport and most resorts (度假地) welcome snowboards.In 1963, a Grade 8 student named Tom Sims 19 a ski-board for a school project in New Jersey.

He had grey hair thick glasses， and was 33 an umbrella， a morning newspaper and a bag.

When he saw that there was 36 in sight， he stepped into the garden （there was no fence）， put his umbrella， newspaper， bag and hat nearly on the grass and 37 the rope. He pulled it 38 to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight， then ran as fast as he could and swung into the 39 on the end of the rope， his grey hair blowing all around his face. 40 he swung， sometimes taking a few more 41 steps on the grass when the rope began to swing 42 slowly for him.43 the professor stopped，straightened his tie，combed his hair carefully， put on his hat， 44 his umbrella， newspaper and bag， and continued 45 his way to the university， looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.( ) 31.

One of his friends had 46 been to the Himalayas, the famous mountain range in the world. While he was 47 along the mountain paths, he came 48 a few other visitors. 49 the visitors were an old lady and her grandson. The small child 50 the beautiful mountains and snow-covered peaks(山峰).He said to his grandmother, “How 51 these mountains are! Can we take them home, grandma?” The old woman 52 and said, “Dear, if some child like you had taken them away yesterday, would you have had a 53 to see them? Now if we take these mountains away today, then tomorrow, 54 child will not have the chance to see these beautiful things. Dont you think they are so nice that everyone should see and 55 them?” What a noble thought! Our lives become 56 only when we lean the 57 of everything and give up our 58 to have everything for ourselves.

Most administrators and teachers extend this medicinal metaphor. They agree that students are suffering from a serious disease. Many tests identify increasing numbers of student writers as skills cripples and they need treatment. Remedial courses are given everywhere. More writing labs are appearing and expanding. Many students are willing to believe that there is really something wrong with them. More students than ever before tell me and my colleagues that they are indeed bad writers and need lots of help with grammar and punctuation. I feel like a doctor, my job is to diagnose the disease and prescribe cures whenever I read student writing. It would be easy enough for me to circle spelling errors, cross out unnecessary commas, line out wordy sentences. And knowing that this sort of making can sting, I would of course write, onto the end of the paper, something about how I know the student really tried hard, something about his rich imagination or his clear potential for doing well. But I wonder whether all these well-intentioned scrawls would do little more than confirm my students fears about how crippled he is. ( ) 1. According to the passage, a “skills cripple” is someone who . A. is seriously ill B. has a rich imagination C. is a bad writer D. has a serious injury to the lag( ) 2. Which of the following is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To describe some successful doctors.B. To compare poor writers with diseased people.C. To tell the teachers why some students are poor in health.D. To show the importance of a teachers job.( ) 3. It can be inferred from the passage that most students .A. admit their incorrect writingB. make use of their dictionaries in writingC. can correct their own papersD. help each other in their writing class( ) 4 Which of the following is true of the teachers correction of his students writing errors?A. It is good to correct all the errors.B. A teacher should write something on the papers to encourage his students.C. A teachers handwriting must be tidy and clear.D. A teacher had better point out the way for each student to improve his writing.（B）I came to India a year ago to find a village in which I could live and write but it was many months before I settled down happily in this Himalayan community.I wasted a lot of time looking for the “typical” village. Yet no such thing exists. Conditions vary too widely. But the villages I stayed in had much in commonpoverty, dirt, ignorance. Often the villagers themselves were puzzled, suspicious. Why had I come? I had put aside my work as a political journalist because my ideas had changed. I had come to believe that what was happening in the Third World was more important than anything else. But to understand how three-quarters of t
