Later that night she was in bed, thinking about the gift when the door opened and her grandma came in.

"What happened?" her grandma asked. When she heard the girl's story, she said, "Don't worry. I think I can help you. How about singing a song?" They sang and sang. Suddenly she woke up. It was a dream! She decided（决定）to write it down at once and sing it to her friends at the party.

    When she sang the song at the party the next day, her friends were very happy. "How wonderfully you sing! We haven't heard such a beautiful song before. Thank you for giving me the special gift." said her friend. And they learned to sing it together. Later, the girl became well-known in America.

    If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading?

    Some people read very quickly, while others read very slowly. But which one is better?

    The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions (说明) carefully. He may read so quickly that he can't understand the ideas and important information.

    The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time reading a story.

So, you see, either a quick reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about the speed of reading.

1. Know why you are reading. That will help you to know whether (是否) to read quickly or slowly.

2. Some things should be read slowly such as directions for making something, science and history books, and math problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.

3. Some things should be read quickly such as stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and news from home town papers.

4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain (某些，某一) pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

23. What should we read quickly?

A. Directions for making something.   B. Storybooks or letters.

C. Science and history books.    D. Math problems.

24. What can we learn about the speed of reading?

A. We should read as slowly as possible.

B. We should always read as fast as we can.

C. We should keep our reading at a certain speed

D. We should change our reading speed as we need

25. The purpose of this passage is to         .

A. tell us how to read better    B. make us be a slow reader

    As students, you may have many dreams(梦想). They can be very big like becoming Superman, or they can be small, you may just want to become one of the best students in your class.

    If you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream come true?

    Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams come true is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible (不可能) for you to become a star. These ideas stop you from getting your dream.

In fact, everyone. can make his dream come true. The first important thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step (一步一步地) and your dream will come true faster. A big dream is , in fact, made up of (由 ......组成) many small dreams.

Never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road. But the biggest problem comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of (而不是 ) watching TV will bring you better exam points. Saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. When you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new interests.

26. From the text, we know the word "challenge" means       .

A.变化   B.挑战   C.决定   D.态度

27. What shouldn't you do to make your dream come true?

A. Spend a lot of time watching TV.  B. Do what you should do step by step.

C. Always remember what your dream is. D. Read more books and learn more skills.

28. What's the passage mainly about?

A. How to find your dream.

B. How to have many dreams.

C. How to make your dream come true.

D. How to keep your dream in your heart.

四、阅读回答(共10分，每小题2分)

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

    It's hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time, so if you want to have more friends, you can get out of the house and do things. That will put you in touch with（接触）more people. It's easier to make friends when you have the same interests.

    Don't be afraid to show people what you're really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.

    Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.

Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about "me, me, me" Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.

Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like and respect. Be friendly to all kinds of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.

29. Is it hard to make friends if you stay at home alone?

30. What can we do if we want to have more friends?

31. Why do we look at people in the eye when we talk to them?

32. What kind of people should we try to make friends with?

33. What does the writer mainly tell us?
