五、阅读理解。

A good reader is very much like a driver. He must change his reading speed to fit his purpose and the material he is reading, just as a driver does fit the road situation. A good reader may be able to read a thousand words per minute (WPM) , but he won’t use that speed for everything he reads. A good reader doing research reading in the library may read at the speed of 1,000 words per minute as he looks for materials for a report. But once he finds something that is useful to him, he may need to slow down to 100 WPM . A good reader may read newspaper and magazine articles at 600 WPM . But it may take him 150 WPM to read his science or maths text . Just as a driver has a wide change of speed , so has a good reader .

It was already late when we started for the next town. It was about 15 miles away on the other side of the hill. There we felt sure that we would find a bed for the night . Darkness fell along the narrow road to the hill. As we climbed higher, it became colder and rain began to fall. It was difficult at times to see the road, so I asked my friend John to drive slowly.
Now we traveled for about 20miles but we could not find the town. We were beginning to feel worried. Then the car stopped. We found we were out of petrol, so we decided to spend the night in the car.
After eating some bread, I tried to go to sleep at once, but John, a poor sleeper, got out of the car after a few minutes and went for a walk up the hill. Soon he came running back. From the top of the hill he had seen the lights of the town in the valley below. We at once tried to push car to the top of the hill. In less than an hour we were in the town, and we found a hotel there easily.

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You may think,“He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite football player.
We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or“surprising”.Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one sentence,“It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool” I can. And I think they are also very cool.

A. only one meaning B. no meaning C. many different meanings
