When the first seasn f Dwntn Abbey aired in the U.S.，my wife Carl and I were ttally absrbed.Carl，wh writes under the name，Carl Wallace，had always been fascinated by English histry，especially the perid when American wealthy wmen married int the British nbility（贵族）.She c-authred T Marry an English Lrd in 1989，a bk abut this tpic，but it was lng ut f print.Dwntn Abbey seemed t reflect many themes frm her bk，even featuring an American character married t the British lrdly wner f the huse.
As the secnd seasn aired in Britain in fall 2011，the New Yrk Times ran a piece suggesting bks fr Dwntn Abbey fans.Sadly，Carl's bk wasn't included."I wish yu culd talk t Julian Fellwes，the writer fr the series，"I said."He'd lve yur bk.""But hw culd we ever reach him？"Carl replied.
Later that afternn，while walking dwn Thirty-Furth Street in New Yrk，I ran int a ld friend.She intrduced me t a friend wh，t my surprise，knew hw t cntact Julia Fellwes.Thanks t her invlvement in a British histrical sciety，she had his cntact detail and shared them with me.
Carl emailed Fellwes that evening，unsure if he'd even see it.The next day，she hear directly frm him.He was a big fan f her bk，and，in fact，it had infrmed the series.Fellw ffered t write t the New Yrk Times，which published his letter t the editr almst immediately.
"In yur article abut bks that might please fans f Dwntn Abbey，"Fellwes wrte，was srry that ne title was missing：T Marry an English Lrd..."
Carl thanked him and asked if he'd write a prmtinal descriptin fr the bk，which hped may inspire a reprint.Of curse，by all means，Fellwes agreed.When the bk republished，it was labeled "an inspiratin fr the ppular televisin series Dwntn Abbey Thanks t this，the bk sld mre cpies than befre-all because f an unexpected chain events that nly angels culd have seen cming.
4.What can we learn abut Carl frm Paragraph 1？ ______

Imagine the final stretch f a marathn：yur bdy aches，but the cheering crwd give yu energy t run faster.Similarly，a basketball team wins mre hme games in frnt f their wn fans.Even yu might slve a prblem faster when smene watches.These cmmn experiences all pint t a basic psychlgical principle.
This phenmenn is knwn as scial facilitatin（促进），which describes hw individuals can perfrm tasks differently when in the cmpany f thers cmpared t when they are alne.The cncept was first prpsed by psychlgist Nrman Triplett，wh nticed that cyclists raced faster in grups.He tested his thery with a simple experiment where children were tasked with winding fishing line.Triplett bserved that the children wh were being arund thers mved faster，suggesting that a peer （同龄人） nearby can mtivate.
But later studies fund cnflicting evidence.In anther test，participants were given a mre cmplex task，like memrizing a list f wrds.Thse in frnt f thers perfrmed wrse than thse wrking alne.This cntradictin （矛盾） led t a key change f the thery.The presence f an audience tends t imprve perfrmance n simple tasks.On the ther hand，fr nvel tasks，the same audience can hurt perfrmance.
Why des this happen？Psychlgists suggest the key reasn is ur cncern abut being judged by thers.Since apprval and disapprval ften depend n thers' evaluatins，we naturally becme mre alert in frnt f an audience.This alertness helps with mastered skills，but gets in the way f learning new nes.
There isn't ne recipe fr success，but scial facilitatin thery helps t pint us in the right directin.T imprve a well-practiced skill like running r playing an instrument，strategically seek an audience by jining a club r perfrming publicly.If yu struggle when watched，practice alne until yu gain cnfidence.By taking advantage f scial settings wisely，we can use the audience effect t achieve ur best perfrmance.
8.What is the main idea f scial facilitatin？ ______
A. Grup interactin enhances learning efficiency.
B. Individual perfrmance peaks in cmpetitive settings.
C. Scial situatins have predictable effects n behavir.
D. The presence f thers can influence ur perfrmance.
9.Which factr can explain the cnflicting results in paragraph 3？ ______
A. The size f the audience.
B. The difficulty f the task.
C. The type f the reward.
D. The persnality f the participant.
10.What is the rt cause f scial facilitatin？ ______
A. Evaluatin anxiety.B. Peer pressure.
C. Cmpetitive desire.D. Persnal standard.
11.What des the authr suggest we d abut the phenmenn？ ______
A. Gradually increase audience size.
B. Thughtfully manage scial cntexts.
C. Actively bserve thers' perfrmances.
D. Strategically seek supprtive audiences.

Technlgy seems t discurage slw，immersive reading.Reading n a screen tires yur eyes and makes it harder t keep yur place.S nline writing tends t be mre skimmable and list-like than printed text.
We shuldn't verplay this danger.All readers skim，a skill learned in childhd as we becme better readers.Nr is there anything new in these fears abut declining attentin spans （持续时间）.S far，the cncerns have turned ut t be false alarms. "Quite a few critics have been wrried abut attentin span lately and see very shrt stries as signs f cultural decline，" the American authr Selvin Brwn wrte."But n ne ever said that pems were evidence f shrt attentin spans."
And yet the Internet has certainly changed the way we read.First，it means that there is mre t read，because mre peple than ever are writing.Digital writing is designed fr rapid release and immediate respnse.Online articles quickly attract cmments within minutes f publicatin.This can make writing and reading mre interactive and fun，but peple ften respnd t quickly withut thinking much abut thers' ideas.The result is a nisy space where everyne talks ver everyne else，all desperate t be heard.
T a slw reader，a piece f writing can nly be fully understd by engaging with the wrds and slwly fllwing the line f thught.The human need fr this kind f deep reading is t tenacius fr any new technlgy t destry.We ften assume that technlgical change is unstppable and ne-directinal，s that lder media like printed bks are kicked ut by newer digital frms.In practice，hwever，lder technlgies can cexist with new nes.The Kindle and the iPad have nt killed ff the printed bk any mre than the car killed ff the bicycle.We still want t enjy carefully-frmed ideas and precisely-chsen wrds.Even in a fast-mving age，there is time fr slw reading.
12.What is the authr's attitude twards Selvin Brwn's pinin？______
A. FavrableB. CriticalC. DubtfulD. Objective
13.What can be inferred abut digital reading frm Paragraph 3？______
A. It requires readers t stay fully immersed.
B. It encurages readers t think mre deeply.
C. It leads readers t value respnding ver reflectin.
D. It reduces the amunt f infrmatin peple are expsed t.
14.What des the underlined wrd"tenacius" in Paragraph 4 prbably mean？______
A. Straight-frwardB. Old-fashined
C. Deep-rtedD. Well-balanced
15.Which wuld be the best title fr the passage？______
A. Slw Reading Is Here t Stay
B. Digital Technlgy Prevents Slw Reading
C. Digital Reading：An Unstppable Revlutin
D. Screen vs.Print：Which Requires Deep Reading
