There are many things we need to know that we do not learn at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare(比较) the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality(质量) of different brands(品牌). We need to know how to make the best choice when we shop.
Knowing how to make such choices is a life skill, and （1） we need these skills if we are to lead useful and happy lives.
Some of these choices are small. For example, will I take an apple or a pear for lunch? Will I take the bus to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T-shirt or the blue one to the movies? Other choices are more important. For example, will eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food because it is tastier? Will l work hard in all my classes I enjoy? （2）We make decisions like this every day.
Making the wrong choices can result in unhappiness. （3） We have to realize that the choices we make can affect(影响) the rest of our lives, and it can also affect other people. The next time you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movies, consider(思考) this: Who else does your choice affect?将（1）处的句子重新改写。
We don’t need these skills we to lead useful and happy lives.将（2）处的句子改为否定句。
We decisions like this every day.将（3）处的英文翻译成汉语。

Once an old man was walking in a street with his horse. It was raining hard. The old man was cold because he was walking in the rain. He wanted to stay in a restaurant. It was a quarter past three in the afternoon. The old man got to a small restaurant. There were a lot of people in it, so the old man couldn’t come near the fire. He thought and thought. At last he said to the waiters, “Take some fish to my horse.” The waitor and the people were very surprised. The waiter said, “A horse doesn’t eat fish.” The old man told the waiter, “This horse is very interesting. It can sing, dance and does all kinds of things. It can eat fish, too.” So the waiter brought the horse some fish.
All the people in the restaurant ran out to see the horse eat fish except the old man. Now the old man sat beside the fire.

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking.
Educators (教育家) call it "automaticity (自动性)”．
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With more and more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read by the phrases and soon by sentences. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so that he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 t0 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice. "Reading is the key to school success" means that reading_______.
| A．helps school develop faster |
| B．is a key to a successful school |
| C．helps students go to a key school |
| D．can improve students' learning results |
Children with "automaticiy" can read faster because they_______.
| A．know how to read the words |
| B．pay attention to the meaning of the text instead of the words |
| C．read by themselves without any help |
| D．do not have to think while reading |
The underlined word "stumble" in the second paragraph means“ ”in Chinese.
| A．结结巴巴地读 | B．全神贯注地读 |
| C．心不在焉地读 | D．声情并茂地读 |
The best title for the passage is“_______”．
| A．IQ is the Key- to the Automaticity |
| B．TV is Bad for Children's Reading |
| C．Automaticity Needs a Lot of Practice |
