Speed-reading is a vital skill in the Internet age. We skim over articles and e-mails to try to grasp key words and the essential meaning of a certain text. Bombarded（轰炸）with information from our electronic devices, it would be impossible to cope if we read word by word, line by line. But a new trend calls on people to unplug and enjoy reading slowly.
A recent story from The Wall Street Journal reported on a book club in Wellington, where members meet in a café and turn off their smartphones. They sink into cozy chairs and read in silence for an hour. Unlike traditional book clubs, the point of the Slow Reading Club isn’t exchanging ideas about a certain book, but to get away from electronic devices and read in a quiet, relaxed environment. According to the Journal, the Wellington book club is just one example of a movement started by book lovers.
Slow readers, such as The Atlantic’s Maura Kelly, say a regular reading habit sharpens the mind, improves concentration, reduce stress levels and deepens the ability to understand others.
Yet technology has made us less attentive readers. “Screens have changed our reading habits from the linear, left-to-right sequence, to a wild skimming and skipping pattern as we hunt for important words and information, which leads to weaker comprehension than reading plain text. The Internet may have made us stupider,” says Patrick Kingsley from The Guardian.
Slow reading means a return to an uninterrupted pattern, in a quiet environment free of distractions. Aim for 30 minutes a day, advises Kelly. “You can squeeze in that half hour pretty easily if only during your free moments–whenever you find yourself automatically starting your laptop to scan your favorite site for something to pass the time–you pick up a meaningful work of literature,” Kelly said. “Reach for your e-reader, if you like. Kindles make books like War and Peace less heavy. “
25. What’s the real purpose of the book club in Wellington?
A. To turn off its members’ smartphones.
B. To let its members relax in cozy chairs.
C. To make people share ideas about books.
D. To provide a quiet, relax environment for readers.
26. Slow reading has the following benefits except _______
according to Maura Kelly.
A. sharpening the mind
B. reducing stress levels
C. broadening the view
D. improving concentration
27. What Patrick Kingsley said suggests that __________.
A. the Internet slows our reading speed
B. the Internet is full of mistaken information
C. electronic devices have changed our reading patterns
D. electronic devices enable us to have a better understanding
28. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Time to Go Slow Reading
B. Electronic Devices Takeover
C. Kindles for Readers
D. Reading Matters More
C
On Sunday morning in Rio, when Chinese women’s volleyball team took on Serbia for the Olympic title, 70 percent of Chinese families watched live broadcast on TV, easily beating the audience rating for Lunar New Year Gala. As team captain Hui Ruoqi hit a powerful spike to seal it 19-25, 25-17, 25-22, 25-23 on Sunday morning in Rio, applause and cheers almost blew off the roof of Maracanazinho. China’s news program Xinwen Lianbo spent seven of 30 minutes reliving the story. This is their third Olympic gold medal the Chinese women’s volleyball teams has win since the 1980s.
In Rio, the Chinese women’s volleyball team was assigned to the so-called group of death and faced several strong competitors. But the team never gave up. When the team lost its Rio Olympic opener to the Netherlands on Aug 6, Lang Ping urged her players to support one another through the ups and downs. When China lost to Serbia and the United States, finishing fourth to get a narrow escape from Group B and had to face host Brazil in the quarters, Lang Ping helped her players grow from each defeat on the pressure-packed Olympic stage.
Lang Ping, nicknamed “Iron Hammer”, is a national heroine as well as a legend in world sports. She made histories in coaching many clubs and national teams to top level. She resigned due to health reasons in 1998. However, when the Chinese women’s volleyball faced difficulties after the Beijing Olympics, the 52-year-old lady came back in 2017 and took the coaching position. She dug out a group of young talents including Rio 2016 MVP Zhu Ting to help seasoned players Hui Ruoqi and Xu Yunli. But more importantly, she passed on the spirit to them.
Among all the Chinese sports teams, the women’s volleyball remain the most special one, whose victories fueled Chinese confidence in the 1980s and still represent the best things that sports can offer to the Chinese: perseverance, courage and unity.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?
A. The game against Serbia attracted more Chinese audience than Lunar New Year Gala.
B. China’s Xinwen Lianbo reported the team’s victory for 30 minutes.
C. The roof of Maracanazinho was blown off by the excited audience.
D. The Chinese women’s volleyball team was beaten by Serbia.
30. It can be inferred from the text that_______.
A. the team beat the Netherlands on Aug 6.
B. Lang resigned from a club due to health problems in 2017.
C. Lang brought the Chinese women’s volleyball back to the Olympic glory
D. after the Rio Olympic opener, the team experienced non-stop victories
31. Who does the underline word “she “in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Zhu Ting.
B. Hui Ruoqi.
C. Xu Yunli.
D. Lang Ping.
32. What make the Chinese women’s volleyball team so special?
A. The coach and strong competitors.
B. Some young talents and seasoned players.
C. Each defeat and pressure.
D. The teams’ success and spirits.
D
