Individuals who often read fiction appear to better understand other people, empathize(共鸣) with them and view the world from their perspective. A study found a(an) __36___ result in young children: the more stories read to them, the __37__ their ―theory of mind,‖ or mental model of other people’s intentions.
―Deep reading‖ —as __38__ to the superficial reading we do on the Web — is an __39__ practice, one we should take steps to __40__ as we would a historic building or a significant work of art. Its __41__ would put in danger the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as literature that can be __42__ only by readers whose brains, quite __43__ , have been trained to understand them.
Recent research has demonstrated that deep reading is a __44__ experience, different from the mere decoding of words. __45__ deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a __46__ book, the built-in limits of the printed page are uniquely conducive(有助于) to the deep reading experience. A book’s lack of hyperlinks, for example, __47__ the reader from making decisions — Should I click on this link or not? — __48__ her to remain fully immersed in the narrative.
The deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are different, both __49__ the experience they produce and the __50__ they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less __51__ and less satisfying, even for the ―digital natives‖ for whom it is so familiar.
When readers are enjoying the experience the most, the __52__ of their reading actually slows. The __53__ of fast, fluent decoding of words and slow, unhurried progress on the page gives deep readers time to enrich their reading with __54__, analysis, and opinions. It gives them time to establish an close relationship with the author, the two of them engaged in an extended __55__ like people falling in love.

(REUTERS/Jason Lee) Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of China’s central bank, a high-level Chinese official on Sunday made the government’s first admission that the country’s economic slowdown was not going as planned. He told a meeting of regional leaders that his country’s growth rate had tumbled \
\if the disinflation trend will continue, and if deflation will happen or not,\Boao Forum for Asia, an annual conference on the island of Hainan in southern China. Zhou added that China could \rates.
For many, the way he described China’s health was no surprise. The country’s economy has not been growing this slowly since the 1990s. Companies in debt are seeing sickly profit margins. Banks are carrying loads of debt, too, and the housing market is slowing. China’s official 2015 GDP growth target is 7%, but that seems shaky.
Acknowledging that significant intervention has to be on the table is a big deal for China. Everyone has known for years that this slowdown was coming because the government is purposely transitioning its economy from one based on foreign investment to one based on domestic consumption. It is a brutal process, but the government knows it is the only way the country will become the self-sustaining superpower it wants to be.
(Barlcays)Until now, while the Chinese government had acknowledged the slowdown was
rough, it had assured the world that the situation was under control. Just a few weeks ago, Chinese officials were saying they would be monitoring deflation but still were not that keen on intervening with policy measures.
Now it seems they are warming to the idea. In January, China’s headline consumer price inflation hit 0.8%, then it bounced back up to 1.4% in February. March probably isn’t looking that great either from the People’s Bank of China’s point.
\point to persistent deflation risks,\the monetary policy needs to be more 'proactive' in order to deal with the cyclical challenges in the near term.\
58. Which of the following illustrates ―growth rate had tumbled‖ in Paragraph 1? A. setting interest rates B. economic transition C. bounce of CPI D. FIGURE 1
59. We can infer from the passage that one of the solutions to the slowdown could be _______ if needed.
4
A. monitoring deflation B. expanding foreign investment C. making new policy measures D. reducing domestic consumption 60. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Zhou's admission is a big deal and a little bit irresponsible.
B. The Chinese government has admitted that things aren't going so well. C. China should be more active in its struggle against inflation. D. China's economy has been growing fast since the 1990s. C
Alan, 17, was randomly shot and killed by a gang member. His father, Keith, and his mother, Donna, were filled with anger as they followed the all-consuming ongoing investigation into the killing. A close couple, friends of Keith and Donna's, dropped in one evening and said to them, \you need now is acceptance.\Keith got angry with his friend and asked, \part of Alan's death don't you think I accept? Believe me, I hate to be in so much pain.\
Acceptance is not about liking a situation. It is about acknowledging all that has been lost and learning to live with that loss. It would be too soon for Keith to be able to accept the situation. He can acknowledge the reality of the loss, but it would be unrealistic to think he should have found some peace with it by then.
The gang member who killed Alan was sentenced to life in prison, and Keith and Donna went back to their own lives. But Keith actually had a new loss to deal with, an emptiness, which made the absence of his son's loss even louder.
It is important for people to understand that gradually, in your own time, you can begin to find some peace with what has happened. In situations such as murder, it is vital to understand we have a legal system, not necessarily a justice system. Acceptance is a process that we experience, not a final stage with an end point.
No one else could know how much acceptance Keith was capable of or how time would affect his process. After five years, Keith felt he had found as much acceptance as was possible. Then he was notified that the shooter was up for his parole ( 假释 ) hearing. Keith was once again filled with anger. The proceedings were brief and parole was denied. Keith was struck by how quickly it happened and by the tears of the shooter's father. For the first time, Keith realized that there were victims on both ends of the gun.
Keith walked over and shook his hand. At that moment, something happened: Keith’s anger was replaced by a curiosity. He wanted to know what this other father's life was like and what led him to the same place. Over the next few years, the two men worked together helping gang members stop the violence and find their place in the world.
Keith's acceptance was a journey deeper than ever expected. And it happened over many years, not many months or days. Not everyone will or can fully embrace those who have hurt us, as Keith did, but there is always a struggle that leads us to our own personal and unique acceptance.
61. Alan’s parents were very angry at their son’s death because _______. A. he was innocently killed B. he was a member of a gang
C. their friends brought the truth back to them D. the murders were soon released
