第一個問題是細節題,詢問John過著怎樣的一種生活。由文中的句子John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else. 可知:他的生活簡樸。因此第一題可填入simple life.
第二個問題是推理題,文章開頭說His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t have to. John decided to keep living a simple life like everyone else.說明他想和別人一樣過普通人的生活。很容易對這個選擇疑問句作出回答,注意對選擇疑問句的回答方式,不要畫蛇添足。第2句的回答: He wanted to look for a job.

:expelled***開除***
More than 6000 children were expelled***開除*** from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
The department gave a report on the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58 per cent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996—97, against 7 per cent for rifles***步槍*** or shotguns and 35 per cent for other types of firearms.
“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down***嚴懲***” on students who bring guns to school, “Education Secretry Richard Riey said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded***堅強的*** about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”
In March 1997, a 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old using hand-guns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro,Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Missisippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five inDaducab,Kentucky.
“Most of the expulsions***開除***, 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13, 34 per cent were from junior high schools and 9 per cent were from elementary schools.” The report said.

:culture
Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees***非洲小猩猩*** can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
1. Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea.____.
A. A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences
B. Other animals can invent tools
C. Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior
D. The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think
2. “Culture” refers to ____.
A. book language of behavior we learn
B. the patterns of behavior we learn
C. traditional ideas
D. people’s good habits
3. A chimpanzee’s use of tools means ____.
A. animals are the same as human beings
B. animals can be as clever as human beings
C. the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer exists
D. animals may have a culture like our own
4. Which of the following statement is true?____.
A. The ability to use language separates human beings
B. We can be certain that animals have a culture too
C. Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture too
D. Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong
5.The first sentence of the second paragraph “Our culture lets 7us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses “ means ____.
A. as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses
B. our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses
C. our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lost
D.our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still have

:藝人的生活
對很多年輕人來說,成為一名藝人可能看起來是一個夢寐以求的工作。如果你成為一名藝人,你就能以做你喜歡做的事情為生了;如果你出名了,全世界的人都會認識你。很多藝人資助學校和慈善事業,幫助他人做很多事情,這是一個很多人都無法擁有的好機會。
但是,藝人也有很多問題。如果你有名了,人們就會時刻關注你,到處跟隨你。這會讓生活變得很麻煩。
如果你以演戲為生,有時候你的工作會非常危險。很多藝人都有傷,並且如果你有錢了,你會很難發現誰是你真正的朋友。事實上,很多藝人抱怨他們並不快樂,他們說在他們富有和成名之前更快樂。

:改進閱讀方式
一、預測
培養學生依據文章標題***副標題***、插圖以及相關的背景知識和社會生活經驗,對文章的大致內容預測以及可能涉及到的詞彙,然後閱讀文章的第一段,並對自己的預測進行驗證、糾正,同時抓住主題句、關鍵詞,從而更好地從整體上去理解和把握文章的中心。
二、略讀
指導學生快速瀏覽全文,領會文章大意,辨析文體,掌握篇章結構,進而抓住文章的中心。
三、查讀
指導學生在瀏覽全文的基礎上進行查讀,以回答個別事實細節性的問題。有些細節性的問題不能直接在短文中找到答案,必須進行必要的綜合、歸納、轉換才能獲得,也就是要在直接可獲得的事實和細節的基礎上經過綜合、歸納、轉換間接地獲得所需要的事實和細節。它通常涉及資料、時間、人稱、代詞的指代、動作的行為的關聯、動作行為者與承受者、地點和空間、表態方式、因果、條件、內涵與外延等。
如:
One day Mrs Wison went shopping with Tracy and Ben. They went to the supermarket in the new shopping center.
“Why do you buy things here?” Tracy wanted to know. “Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home,” Mrs. Wilson said. “Help me check the prices, please.”
The Wilsons were not rich and Mrs. Wilson was always careful with her money. She looked carefully at the prices of things. She bought lots of things in the supermarket. When they got home, the children said, “We don't think you saved money by going to the supermarket.” “Of course I did,” Mrs. Wilson said “Everything was cheaper there.”
“We know,” the children said, “but we came home by taxi because we had too much to carry. The taxi fare was more than the money that you saved !”
Mrs Wilson added everything up. Her children were right.
“Well done,” she said. “Next time we'll do the shopping nearby.”
①The things at the corner store were ____ than those in the supermarket.
A. cheaper B. nicer C. more expensive D. Better
② Mrs. Wilson _________ in the end.
A. spent more money B. paid less money
C. lost some money D. saved a little money
這兩個問題都是細節性問題,但又不能直接從文章中得出答案,要經過分析和計算間接地獲得事實細節。①選C。由 Mrs. Wilson 的話“Because they are cheaper here than at the corner store near our home. ”分析可知the things at the corner store were more expensive.②選A。 Mrs. Wilson 在超級市場買的東西是便宜的,但返回時由於東西多結果打的士回家將打的士的費用攤進去就高於節省的費用了,因此可以知道:Mrs. Wilson spent more money in the end.

In class he always thought of the football matches between Class Three and Class Two and tried to find out a way to beat Class Two. Of course he didn’t hear what Mr. Beckman said. His friend Sally could help him with his homework and hint[1] how he answered Mr. Beckman. But bad luck! The girl was ill in hospital and nobody would help him next Monday!
Phillip thought hard and at last he found a way. He copied all the main points[2] on his wristbands[3] and then went to play football with his friends. It was Sunday yesterday. Even he didn’t open his students’ book! He was sure he would pass the exam and went on playing football and watching TV.

“I can’t find my shirt!"

:空難倖存者
When a light passenger plane flew off course[1] some time ago, something was wrong with it and it crashed[2] in the mountains and its pilot[3] was killed. The only passengers, a young woman and her two baby daughters,were unhurt. It was the middle of winter.Snow lay thick on the ground.The woman knew that the nearest village was kilometres away.She couldn’t find anything in the snow but a suit-case[4]. When it grew dark, she turned the suit-case into a bed and put the children inside it, covering[5] them with all the clothes she could find. During the night, it got terribly cold. The woman kept as near as she could to the children and even tried to get into the case herself, but it was too small. Early next morning, she heard planes flying above and wanted to know how she could send a signal[6]. Then she had an idea. She wrote the letters ‘SOS’ in the snow. Luckily, a pilot saw the signal and sent a message by radio to the nearest town. It was not long before a group of people arrived and they took the woman and her daughters to hospital at once.
