VI. Reading cmprehensin
Chse the best answer.
It seems that schls in the U.K. are feeling ttally hpeless in dealing with the lateness f sme f their students. S nw, sme have decided that the punishment shuld g nt t the children, but t their parents. Thusands f parents in Hampshire have been fined $80 because their children were late fr class mre than ten times in a term. The fine will duble if it is nt paid within 21 days. Dzens f schls acrss Hampshire have put the new rule int effect, and frm this September, anther 500 lcal primary and secndary schls will jin them.
Similarly, in Islingtn, Lndn, parents will als face a fine if their children arrive at schl late fr mre than 12 times in six weeks.
Parents in Essex, hwever, will nt be fined, but that desn't mean they wn't face truble if their children are regularly late fr schl. Several schls there have set up their late-fr-schl patrls. Parents wh send their children t schl late will be questined by fficers f the patrls abut the reasns fr lateness.
The Educatin Department explained, “We dn't really want t fine r truble parents. But indeed we want children t be in schl. There just cmes a time when we have n their chices. Maybe children are still t yung t learn the imprtance f punctuality. S we’re afraid that parents, especially thse wh send their children t schl, need t take the respnsibility.”
Parents, f curse, are nt happy abut the new rules. They dn't think getting fined r questined will be a gd way t slve the ld prblem. Besides, t sme pr families, $80 may be a lt.

Fr many peple tday, reading is n lnger relaxatin. T keep up their wrk, they must read letter, reprts, trade publicatins, nt t mentin newspapers and magazines: a never-ending fld f wrds. In 75 a jb r advancing in ne, the ability t read and cmprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfrtunate fact is that mst f us are pr readers. Mst f us develp pr reading habits at an early age, and never get ver them. The main deficiency lies in the actual stuff f language itself ——wrds. Taken individually, wrds have 76 meaning until they are strung tgether int phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfrtunately, hwever, the untrained reader des nt read grups f wrds. He labriusly reads ne wrd at a time, ften regressing(退回), the tendency t lk back ver what yu have just read, is a cmmn bad habit in reading. Anther habit which 77 the speed f reading is vcalizatin—sunding each wrd either rally r mentally while reading.
T vercme these bad habits, sme reading clinics use a device, which mves a bar (r curtain) dwn the page at a predetermined(预先确定的) speed．The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds cmfrtable, in rder t “stretch” him. The acceleratr frces the reader t read fast, making wrd-by-wrd reading, regressin and subvcalizatin(默读)practically ___78___. At first, cmprehensin is sacrificed fr speed．But when yu learn t read ideas and cncepts, yu will nt nly read faster, but yur cmprehensin will imprve. Many peple have fund their reading skill drastically imprved after sme training. 79 Charlce Au, a business manager, fr instance, his reading rate was a reasnably gd 172 wrds a minute after the training, nw it is an excellent 1,28 wrds a minute. He is delighted that hw he can 80 a lt mre reading material in a shrt perid f time.

Naughty children ften give a nt-s-satisfactry perfrmance at schl, but believe it r nt, they culd be the next Tim Ck r Marissa Mayer.
Accrding t a new study, naughty schlchildren may have what’s been called “the CEO gene(基因)” The unique gene culd make them mre likely t be abut t lead a large cmpany in the future.
Scientists say they have fund a unique gene in children wh ften “mildly” break schl rules. It is the same ne that leads t leadership qualities fund in successful CEOs arund the glbe.
Psychlgists frm Kansas State University studied health data cvering 13,000 adults. They discvered the influence f a special gene, DATI.
They fund that in children, DATI leads t “mild” bad behavir such as skipping schl, but nt serius bad behavir such as cmmitting a vilent crime.
Hwever, they als discvered that DATI prvides psitive leadership qualities in adults wh ften went n t becme the heads f cmpanies r lead departments within a cmpany.
Psychlgists believe thse with DATI learn early n hw t lead a grup peple.
Lee, the assistant prfessr behind the study, explained, “Mild rule-breaking is actually psitively assciated with the chance fr yu t becme a leader when yu grw up.”
But peple with DATI “were als likely t cntrl their wn behavir t make psitive changes,” Lee warned. “In fact, the gene can have bth psitive and negative effects n leadership.”
It largely depends n the envirnment the children grwn up in, at hme and at schl, accrding t the study.
If the naughty children culd have encuraging parents and the ability t wrk with thers, they are mre likely t g n t becme leaders, the study cncludes.
