Do you have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering “yes”or“no” to these questions.
a) Do you move your lips when reading silently ?
b) Do you point to words with your fingers as you read ?
c) Do you move your head from side to side as you read ?
d) Do you read one word at a time ?
If your answer “yes” to any of these questions , start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.
If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.
56. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text _________.
A. we should remember those habits
B. they should be got rid of
C. they are difficult to get rid of
D. they are good for our studies
57. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to __________.
A. hold a piece of paper between your lips
B. keep yourself from talking to others
C. tell others to be silent
D. feel whether your lips move or not
58. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to __________.
A. read the words out
B. look at every word carefully
C. read several words at a time
D. remember every word
59. If you can read fairly fast now, __________.
A. you don’t need to learn to read faster
B. you can go on reading like that
C. you can learn to read even faster
D. you can enjoy reading

Some people are like fragrant flowers．They come into our lives ever so 50 and leave behind a scent that stays in our being．They 51 your day by just having had contact with them even if for a moment．You cannot possibly 52 a day without thinking about them．Their beautiful 53 gently touches your heart each time you hear their name．In the coldest, darkest days of the winter of my life, the 54 of them will get me through it all and bring a smile to my face and I will have “spring forever in my 55 ．”

Argue fairly
Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is best for the teen. Parents have been caring for their teens for over a decade, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you must agree with them, argue fairly by: Allowing each person to speak their mind. Refusing to interrupt others when they are speaking. Sticking only to the topic at hand.
Argue respectfully
No matter how heated things may get during an argument, try to remember that your parents still are worthy of your attention, respect and love. During arguments, be respectful by: Keeping your voice lowered at all times and refusing to shout. Sitting still and staying calm. Refusing to engage in angry actions such as kicking, throwing or hitting anything. Reasonably explaining the reasons for your opinions.
_________
There is a thin line between having a discussion and engaging in an argument, but smart teens know that keeping their interactions with their parents at the discussion level practically guarantees that they will be taken more seriously. No one likes to argue, and the parents of teens can be especially weary of it, so keeping things at the discussion level will work to everyone"s advantage.
Arguing with parents is practically a sign of the teenaged years, but out-of-control arguments don"t serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what compromises (妥协)you are willing to make in order to achieve your goals. You never know, you might just avoid an argument all together.
60.This passage mainly tells teens______.
A. arguments don"t solve any problem

D. how to avoid arguing with parents
61. When arguing with your parents, you should______.
A. make up your mind not to give in
B. show your respect for them
C. express your opinions through actions
D. make full preparations for it

A. Take discussion seriously B. Argue seriously
C. To be smart teens D. Argue only when needed
