Tday, many peple spend a lt f time reading nline. Whether reading news r e-bks, peple are spending mre time eyeballing (盯住) screens. While nline reading pens up a great deal f knwledge t peple, there are sme disadvantages t, such as eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in fcusing n the text. Nw a new reading system, Binic Reading, develped by Swiss typgraphic designer Renat Casutt, can help peple vercme these issues, and mst imprtantly, it aims t help peple read faster nline and develp a mre in-depth understanding f written cntent.
The reading system imprve the reading prcess by guiding the eyes thrugh text with artificial fixatin pints. T make it shrt: sme parts f the wrds are displayed in bld (粗体). As a result, the reader nly fcuses n the highlighted letters and lets the brain center cmplete the rest. Yur brain can “read” faster than yur eyes, s by essentially reducing the number f letters yur eye needs t lk at, yu can read faster while still preserving the full cntext.

34．What d sme peple with ADHD think f the system accrding t the text?

C．It needs t be imprved.D．It has little effect n them.

Gd prnunciatin is an imprtant part f learning English. The way yur speech sunds can have a big influence n whether r nt peple understand what yu are saying and their impressins f yu.

It’s ften difficult t find prnunciatin errrs in yur wn speech. 37 If yu can’t find yur prnunciatin prblems, it’s difficult t crrect them. Try recrding yur speech with yur smart phne r PC and making a nte f specific areas yu need t imprve n.

Because it gives yu time t think while yu are speaking, yu’ll feel mre relaxed and be able t cncentrate n making yur English sund fantastic.
