It can begin as early as first grade.In a recent study of children in an Illinois school，Alan Rossman of Northwestern university found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests.At fifth grade，the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others，and still outscoring them on correctness，comprehension and vocabulary. It’s not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity，according to Rossman.Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books，magazines or newspapers will most probably reach automaticity.At home where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television，it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading. You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud－something unfamiliar but suitable to his age.If he reads aloud with expression，with a sense of the meaning of the sentences，he probably is an automatic reader.If he reads hesitatingly (停頓地)，one word at a time without expression or meaning，he needs more practice. 1．The first paragraph tells us ________. A．what automaticity is B．how accuracy is acquired C．how a child learns to walk D．how an athlete is trained 答案　A 解析　綜合歸納題。由第一段第一句“Reading is the key to school success，and like any skill，it takes practice.”及最后一句“Educators call it automaticity.”可知，作者是在告訴我們什么是自主性。 2．An automatic reader ________. A．sounds out the letters B．concentrates on meaning C．has a high IQ D．pays much attention to the structures of sentences 答案　B 解析　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段最后一句“With automaticity，he doesn’t have to think about getting the meanings of the words，so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.”可知答案。 3．The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader’s high speed ________. A．costs him a lot of work B．a(chǎn)ffects his comprehension C．leads to his future success D．doesn’t affect his comprehension 答案　D 解析　綜合歸納題。由第三段第二、三句知，高速度的閱讀并不影響理解。 4．A bright child ________. A．a(chǎn)lso needs practice to be an automatic reader B．a(chǎn)lways achieves great success in comprehension tests C．becomes an automatic reader after learning how to read D．is a born automatic reader 答案　A 解析　推理判斷題。由第四段第一句“It’s not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity.”可知，即使是一個(gè)聰明的孩子也需要訓(xùn)練，才能成為自主性讀者。 現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)表示自然而然的，必然出現(xiàn)的結(jié)果；而不定式作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)表示出乎意料的，偶然出現(xiàn)的結(jié)果。 By 1820 the population of New York had grown to about 125,000，making it the largest city in the USA. 到1820年紐約的人口增長(zhǎng)到大約125 000人，結(jié)果使它成為美國(guó)最大的城市。 The child fell，striking his head against the door and cutting it. 這孩子跌倒后，頭撞在門(mén)上磕破了。 He hurried to the airport，only to find the plane had taken off. 他匆忙趕到機(jī)場(chǎng)，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)飛機(jī)已經(jīng)飛走了。 Module 1　British and American English Period One　Reading Comprehension Ⅰ.用適當(dāng)?shù)慕椤⒏痹~填空 1．British and American English are different in many ways. 2．Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas. 3．The British queue up；Americans stand in line. 4．The accent，which is most similar to British English，can be heard on the East Coast of the US. 5．But it has also led to lots of American words and structures passing into British English. 6．This international dimension suggests that in the future，there are going to be many “Englishes”，not just two main varieties. 7．However，if you turn on CNN，the American TV network，you find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents. 8．There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic. 9．Maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi(British) or cab (American)． 10．In the States chips are very thin and are sold in packets.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried，and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times”． My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule：Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy. 　　　　　　　　　　 1．How did the author get to know America? A．From her relatives. B．From her mother.
