School education is very important and useful, yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he cant teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn.He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in language or formula (公式 )in maths, but it is difficult to use a formula to find the answer to a maths problem. Great inventors do not get everything from school, but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things, he didnt have much school education. How do they do all this ? A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge( 知识 ) from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their heads.（1）Why do many people go to school?_。A . to get a good educationB . to buy some booksC . to make friendsD . to meet different teachers（2）What should a student try to do since he cannot learn everything from school?_ _.A . try to remember more knowledge and formulasB . try to remember what the teacher teachC . try to learn how to read and how to thinkD . try to read a lot of books（3）How can an inventor invent things?

These reading groups were named after animals. The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.I was a bird, and my best friend Bobby was a mouse. I can still remember how uncomfortable it was to hear Bobby read sentences out and he could only read several words in the sentence. This is how we usually think of a reading problemthe inability to decode symbols(解码) and change them into spoken language. Kids with this problem are hard to miss. But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers, but in a very different way thats often invisible. These kids read correctly and fluently from the page they might even be birds but they dont understand most words from their mouths.Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem, and theyve come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem. In one study, they found 8 and 9-year-old children who had reading comprehension(理解) problems. Then, some got help in reading and understanding written text, and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both. They all got 90 minutes of help every week for 20 weeks, after which their skills were tested. They were also tested again almost a year later, to see if any improvements existed.All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following yearmuch more than the others. Whats more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined (融合的) way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary. In other words, the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized improvement in the kids ability to understand language.Reading comprehension is important for success in life, more than ever in history. Reading difficulties create educational difficulties, which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage, including joblessness. Kids wont be asked to read out loud in the real world, but they will be expected to know what theyve read.（1）_ are called mice in the writers class. A . Students who like animalsB . Students who have good scoresC . Students who are in small groupsD . Students who do worst in reading（2）What does the underlined word invisible probably mean? A . Cannot be tried.B . Cannot be seen.C . Cannot be hidden.D . Cannot be taught.（3）What does the result of Charles Hulmes research tell us? A . Scientists should observe long-term influence.B . A hidden reading disability have been explored.C . Reading difficulties create educational difficulties.D . Speaking training improves comprehensive ability.（4）Which is the best title for the passage? A . Is language training meaningful?B . Is language training easy or not?C . Is reading comprehension a hard problem?D . Is reading comprehension a hidden disability?5. （5分）根据短文（C）内容完成表格，每空一词。(C)If you think you are too shy and want to be a little braver, just try the following things: Be open to others.
