We considered a list of the best American books. Here are five that may help accurately show

the national character. Most from a century or so ago, they still entertain, teach, and inspire:

Moby-Dick by Herman Melville

First published in 1851, the adventure stories of Captain Ahab and his monomaniacal( 偏执

的) pursuit of the white whale draw us into a universe full of fascinating characters and stories.

The Education of Henry Adams by Henry Adams

Published in 1918, the book was an autobiography( 自传). Born in one of America’s most

famous political families, Adams provides insight into his family, including his experience as

private secretary to his father, minister to England during the American Civil war.

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

When Whitman published Leaves of Grass in 1855, he wanted to accurately describe the

American experience and reflect the great changes in the American literary world that had taken

place during his lifetime.

Poems by Emily Dickinson

An enthusiastic poet whose works have had considerable influence on modern poetry,

Dickson’s frequent use of dashes, occasional capitalization( 大写) of nouns, and unconventional

metaphors(隐喻) have contributed to her reputation as one of the most inventive poets of the 19th

century American literature. However, most of her poems were not published during her lifetime.

The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

First published in 1855, this is Longfellow’s most popular and most recognized poem, the

heroic life and death of a magic American Indian, sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in

the ways of peace.

3. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

B. Herman Melville was considered as one of the most inventive poets of the 19th century

American literature.

C. The Education of Henry Adams is a non-fiction book.

D. Of the five books, Moby-Dick was published last.

4. Why did the author write the passage?

A. To introduce several best American books to readers.

B. To make an advertisement for a book store.

C. To tell stories of several famous writers.

D. To talk about some knowledge about literature.

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday ．The

advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any

day between 10:00 and 4:00 ．Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the

theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break．Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of

the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good ．But if you

are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes．Last Monday．I stood at the bus stop for

15 minutes waiting for the bus, By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not

enough time left to make the trip ．So I gave up and went back to the office ．The same thing

happened on Tuesday, and again next day．On Thursday, my luck changed．I got on a bus right

away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes．When I got there, however, I found a long

line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an

hour．Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line．I caught the next bus and headed

back across the town ．By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was

expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert ．The trip by taxi only took 10

minutes, but felt like an hour to me．When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody

was waiting in line．The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all

the tickets．

5．The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday．

A．from his friends B．from one of his work-mates

C．over the radio D．from the newspaper

6．He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______．

A．once B．twice C．three times D．four times

7．One day the man took _______ to get to the theatre by bus．

A．forty-five minutes B．fifteen minutes

C．just twenty minutes D．over an hour

8．The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by ___________．

A．surprised B．pleased C．puzzled D．sorry

Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text．The reader

puts questions, as it were, to the text and get answers ．In the light of these he put further

questions, and so on．

For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness．At times,

however, we become aware of it ．This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when

mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning ．When successful matching is being

experienced our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level．

Different people converse with the text differently．Some stay very close to the words on the

page; others take off imaginatively from words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and

examining．The former represents a kind of comprehension that is written in the text, while the

latter represents higher levels of comprehension ．The balance between these is important,

especially for advanced readers．

There is another conversation that from our point of view is important, and that has not to do

with what is read but with how it is read ．We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a

“content” conversation ．It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in

reading．If we are skilled readers, our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually

pretty well developed．Not so our ability to hold a process conversation ．It is just this kind of

conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new

demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level．

9．Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only

when ______．

A．the reader’s expectation agree with what is said in the text

B．the reader asks questions and gets answers

C．the reader has trouble understanding what the author says

D．successful matching is occurring

10．At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to ______．

A．read a text slowly B．read without thinking hard

C．interpret a text in their own way D ．concentrate on the meaning of words

only

11．A “process” conversation has to do with ______．

A．the development of our ability to check the details

B．determining the main idea of a text

C．what reading material is read

D．the application of reading strategies

12．From the passage we know ______．

A．it’s important for readers to have conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension

B．readers should take a critical attitude towards the author’s ideas

C．readers should learn to use different approaches in reading different texts

D．readers should pay more attention to the content of a text

Foreign drivers will have to pay onthespot fines of up to ￡900 for breaking the traffic law to be

carried out next month.

If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped( 扣

留)until they pay—and they will face an additional fee of ￡ 80 for getting back their vehicles.

The law will also apply to British citizens.The fines will be described officially as “deposits”

when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court

and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal

with their cases.
