Now let us look at how we read．When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, rough movement．We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate(凝視)．Each time they fixate, we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span．The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation ----varies considerably from person to person．It also varies within one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page．As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation．All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．

Each week, this program explains the many meanings of English expressions. Today’s expressions include a very important word—“heart”. We will try to “get to the heart of the matter” to better understand the most important thing about words and their stories. So “take heart.” Have no fear about learning new expressions. Besides, popular English words can be fun. There is no need for a “heavy heart.” Such feelings of sadness would only “break my heart,” or make me feel unhappy and hopeless.
Now, let us suppose you and I were speaking freely about something private. We would be having a “heart to heart” discussion. I might speak from “the bottom of my heart, ” or say things honestly and truthfully. I might even “open up my heart” to you and tell you a secret. I would speak with “all my heart”.
When a person shares her feelings freely and openly like this, you might say she “wears her heart on her sleeve”. Her emotions are not protected.
If we had an honest discussion, both of us would know that the other person’s “heart is in the right place.” For example, I would know that you are a “kind-hearted” and well-meaning person. And, if you are a very good person, I would even say that you have “a heart of gold.” However, you might have a “change of heart” based on what I tell you. Our discussion might cause you to change the way you feel about something.
But, let us suppose you get angry over what I tell you. Or worse, you feel no sympathy or understanding for me or my situation. If this happens, I might think that you have a “heart of stone.” And, if you say something to make me frightened or worried, my “heart might stand still”.
If you are not so happy, you may feel that ________.
A. you “have a heart of stone” B. you have to “take heart”
C. you “break you heart” D. you “speak from the bottom of the heart”
From the above passage we may see ________.
A. English words can all be used differently
B. some phrases do not have a fixed meaning
C. languages change with the time
D. the same word may have various meanings
What is the passage trying to impress the readers?
A. To explain how “heart” is used in phrases.
B. To show the author’s perfect English.
C. To tell English learners to learn English in phrases.
D. To advertise an English course.
Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A. A change of heart B. Open up the heart of “heart”
C. Never let your heart stand still D. Wear your heart on your sleeve

Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky （急動的）movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span(范圍)or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ---the duration of the fixation (定位)----varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.
Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive (連續(xù)的) fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently (因此), for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated (孤立的) words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.
1.The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .
|
A．one’s familiarity with the text |
|
B．one’s purpose in reading |
|
C．the length of a group of words |
|
D．lighting and tiredness |
2.The author may believe that reading ______.
|
A．requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation |
|
B．requires a reader to see words more quickly |
|
C．demands an deeply-participating mind |
|
D．demands more mind than eyes |
3.What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently.” in the second paragraph?
|
A．The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted. |
|
B．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words. |
|
C．The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading. |
|
D．The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words. |
4.Which of the following is NOT true?
|
A．The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time. |
|
B．Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training. |
|
C．The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading. |
|
D．The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text. |
5.The tune of the author in writing this article is ________
|
A．critical (批評的) |
B．neutral (中立的) |
|
C． pessimistic （悲觀的 ） |
D．optimistic |
