If you are a student,you may be probably required by your teacher to read quickly in class.You have been taught to skim or scan,to look for key words so as to understand the main idea of the article and the important points in the article.Skimming and scanning is a good strategy when you are pressed for time,such as when you are taking an exam,but today,many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.
In response to this,something called the "slow reading movement" has bee popular.The idea is that people should shut off their puters and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasure reading a good book—slowly!In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a cafe, not discuss books,but to sit quietly with each other,drink coffee and just read.
Researchers have found that reading slowly,especially books of fiction,helps people concentrate,relax and think about what they are reading.It also helps people empathize.This last point is important.When you read a novel slowly,you get to understand the characters’ emotions and to see the world through their eyes.
Reading,of course,isn't easy.You have to sit still,for one thing.And it can seem boring when pared to the excitement of playing video games.But,for me,reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life.From the age of ten, when I got my first library card,I’ve enjoyed the pany of pirates and heroes,of evil criminals and clever detectives,of thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life.Reading provided me with escape, but it also enabled me to understand the world around me.It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.
In your classroom,you have learned to read “fast”.Outside of the classroom,you should try to learn to read “slowly”.You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
25.When you are having an exam,it's acknowledged that .
A.reading slowly is the best way B.reading word for word is a good method
C.reading fast is a good strategy D.reading casually is a wonderful choice
26.Which of the following is NOT one of the characteristics of "slow reading movement"?
A.Enjoying the pleasure of reading a good book slowly. B.Helping people refresh and relax.
C.Understanding the characters' emotions more accurately. D.Getting the main idea of the article quickly.
27.What does the underlined word “empathize” (para.3) mean?
A.benefit from something B.feel sympathy for someboby
C.be interested in something D.share feelings with someboby
28.Why does the writer call reading “an education in a classroom that had no walls”?
A.Because there is no need to build walls for the books.
B.Because a library card is what you need to enjoy reading in the library.
C.Because reading enables people to better understand the world around them.
D.Because there are thousands of interesting people in the books who can help you escape.

President Xi Jinping,while visiting a village in North China's Shanxi province,called on Wednesday for greater efforts and more effective measures to help those living in poverty.
The president has paid much attention to poverty reduction in recent years.In his New Year’s address,Xi said that what he cares most about is poor people.The people's longing for a happy life is the goal that the munist Party of China is striving for,Xi said during a stop in the village of Songjiagou,Kelan county,during his Shanxi inspection tour.The village is newly built for local people who relocated from poverty-stricken homes nearby.He called on the villagers to “roll up their sleeves and work on” and the people's livelihoods will “rise joint by joint like sesame flowers on the stem,”the president said.
Xi recognized the local government's efforts to relocate villagers from impoverished（贫困的）areas to newly built residences.He urged local authorities to take more measures to help poor people improve living conditions and raise their ines.In the village of Zhaojiawa,Xi held talks with civil servants who were dispatched（派遣）from the Kelan county people's congress for the village's poverty alleviation（缓和）work.He encouraged the civil servants to have intensive contacts with villagers and help them out of poverty.
Noting that the CPC has dispatched a number of officials and teams to take charge of poverty relief at grassroots organizations in recent years,Xi said that the measures are effective for poverty alleviation.The number of people living in poverty nationwide was reduced by 12.4 million last year to 43.35 million.The government will lift another 10 million people out of poverty this year,according to the Government Work Report.

Known as GC-1,the drug reportedly speeds up metabolism（新陈代谢）,or burning off,of fat cells.“GC-1 dramatically increases the metabolic rate,essentially transforming white fat,which stores extra calories and is associated with obesity and metabolic disease,into a fat like calorie-burning brown fat,”said Kevin Phillips,a researcher in Houston.
Until several years ago,scientists thought that only animals and human babies have energy-burning,"good" brown fat.“It is now clear,”Phillips said,“that human adults do have brown fat,but appear to lose its calorie-burning activity over time.”White fat has a bad effect on people when the body has too much of it.Some published research shows that people who have more brown fat have a reduced risk of obesity.Researchers are now working on ways to “brown” white fat,or change it into brown fat.
GC-1 works,according to Phillips.He said he and other researchers have tested the drug in hundreds of mice. Obese mice,both genetically obese and those with diet-induced obesity,received GC-1 treatment daily.Genetically obese mice lost weight and more than 50 percent of their fat mass in approximately two weeks,Phillips reported.He said mice with diet-induced obesity experienced similar improvements.The drug also caused adaptive thermogenes（适应性发热）in fat cells from mice.Cells grown in a dish,as well as tissue samples taken from obese mice,showed evidence of white-fat browning.“Our data prove that GC-1 is a novel fat-browning agent that may have use in the treatment of obesity and metabolic disease,”Phillips said.
The drug has not yet been tested for weight loss in humans.However,Phillips said it wouldn’t be long before it was used as a way of losing weight.
32.What is the writer's purpose of writing this passage?

C.It is a drug intended for mice. D.It has been sold in the drug store.
35.Which of the following can make people lose weight?
A.Increasing more white fat. B.Burning off more brown fat.
