It is generally agreed that a good student must be able to concentrate for a reasonable time on a written text, yet most students are given very little help to practice this skill. Almost all classroom reading is 1 into minutes of reading and therefore it is no wonder that a number of students have 2 in this field. If you have a problem with 3 ,you must first examine the conditions in which you work. Lighting can be a problem: too many readers put up with 4 lighting conditions. If this is a problem, and you don’t have a reading lamp, try a strong bulb(灯泡), read near a window in day time and always avoid reading in your own shadow. 5 the light should come from overhead or over your shoulder. Reflective surfaces should be avoided. You should also 6 excessive contrast (过度对比) caused by using a reading lamp as the only 7 of light as this will cause great tiredness and probably eye injury.

A second reason for poor concentration is the 8 of motivation, that is, an absence of any 9 sense of purpose. If this is the cause, you will almost 10 be bored by the text. Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques—such as making notes from your reading—to aid your concentration.

If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material. Then you should take a more active approach. Enter into a 14 with the text, pausing to reflect on what you read, and 15 what you find. That’ll be good for reading and comprehension. 1.

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为16~25的相应位置上。

I seldom thought I had a passion. I would sit before the TV all day, thinking 16 nothing but the next shadow. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

One day I went with Mum to drop my sister off at the gym. Then, 17 Mum stopped at a red light, someone on the roadside caught my eyes. It was a man 18 (dress) in rags, homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I 19 (see) many like him before.

But he man wasn’t sitting down with a sad 20 (express). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing 21 (merry) to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious thing 22 he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even though he’s homeless?” I asked. “He bought 23 ,” she replied.

“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t 24 only important things. We need happiness, too.”

“I see.” The man must care too much about music, so he bought a radio instead of food and clothes. I realized that happiness is the key to life. 25 it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going!

A One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds dashing and dancing in the exciting atmosphere above the earth. As

the strong winds gusted against the kites, a string kept them in check.

Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the controlling string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They flew beautifully even as they fought the forced restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”

Yet freedom from control simply put it at the mercy of an unsympathetic gentle wind. It flew ungracefully to the ground and landed in a twisted mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”. Free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to settle down lifeless against the first roadblock.

How much like kites we sometimes are. There always exist misfortunes and restrictions, rules to follow from which we can grow and gain strength. Prohibition is a necessary counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us pulled at the rules so hard that we never fly fast to reach the heights we might have obtained. If we keep all the commandment(戒律), we will never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.

Let us each rise to the great heights, recognizing that some of the prohibitions are actually the steady force that helps us climb and achieve. 26. In the passage the writer watched _______.
