Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or    72

Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total   meaning of the passage. At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author’s ideas    74   .
Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads. This kind of reedit requires posting and answering questions such as “    75   ”, “Do I share the author’s point of view?” and “Am I convinced by the author’s arguments and evidence?

About ten years ago when I was an undergraduate in college. I was working as a practice student at my University"s Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.
As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of set on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and main body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots.
As the couple wheeled her up to me, I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest(可爱的), largest smile I have ever seen.
All of a sudden her handicap (残疾)was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world--- a world of smiles, love and warmth.
That was ten years ago. I"m a successful business person now and whenever I feel down and think about the troubles of the world, I think about that little girl and the remarkable lesson about life that she taught me.

Martha was busy with her job. She believed she had to work harder because she loved her father who was sick with cancer. She had to provide for his expensive medicines. Her brothers and sisters meanwhile stayed with their father most of the time. They bathed him, sang for him, spoon-fed(用匙喂) him or simply kept him company.
One day Martha was hurt. She overheard(无意中听到) her father telling her mother, "All our children love me except Martha."
"How can this be?" Martha thought. "Am I not the one killing myself in my work to have money to pay for his medicines? My brothers and sisters do not even provide their share in the expenses."
One night, as Martha was as usual late in going home, she saw her father was lying awake. She walked close to his bedsides. Her father held her hands and said, "I miss you. I don"t have much time. Stay with me." And she stayed with her father holding his hand the whole night.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I would make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have the three-day holiday posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a little snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (饰品) shining against the green of a pine.
"Where did it come from?" I asked.
"I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn"t have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal（水晶） Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly（难看） at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It"s not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn"t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn"t be fussy(挑剔的)."
"Don"t worry," I told her. "It"s perfect."
It wasn"t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.

A．all the soldiers had the three-day holiday

D．not all the soldiers went home for Christmas during the war

小题3:From the passage, we can conclude that ______ .

A．his mother didn"t like Christmas trees

B．the writer didn"t like the tree cut by someone else

C．the writer used to cut very beautiful Christmas trees

D．his mother didn"t want to have a Christmas tree during wartime

小题4:The best title for this passage would be ______.

A．The Perfect Christmas Tree

B．How to Choose a Christmas Tree

C．How Soldiers Spent Their Christmas

D．A Christmas with an Ugly Christmas Tree
