How to Train Yourself to Read More
Between work,a social life,your family,television and the Internet,it can be difficult to find time to read more.Reading is important,however,for a range of reasons:It improves cognitive (認知) ability,enriches vocabulary,helps with spelling and increases general knowledge.Just having an intention to read more won't guarantee you actually do it,though.You need a series of strategies,exploring a way to train yourself to read more.
61.B
You don't need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer.Consider how much free time you have in a day,then set aside part of that time for reading.Make sure this is a feasible (可行的) goal--start small,say,30minutes.Each day,use your timer and read for the amount of time you set.After a week,increase your time.The increase doesn't have to be much,perhaps an additional 15minutes.As weeks go by,continue adding the same small amount to your reading time.Before you know it,you'll be reading for two or three hours per day.
62.A
Before you begin training to read more,take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week.Once you've gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount,increase it slowly.Try to read at least an additional 5-10pages per week.You'll probably be able to sneak these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort.You could,for example,read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if you're alone.Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day.Keep track of how many pages you've read each week so you can see your progress.
63.D
Technology doesn't have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact,you can make use of your electronic devices.Invest in an e-reader,if you can,or use a tablet to read books.This will save you having to carry around a heavy book,and because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet,you'll always have plenty to read.You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.
64.F
Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm,these can quickly disappear if you don't devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself.These rewards don't have to be large or expensive.You could reward yourself with something,such as chocolate or a small gift,each time you hit a reading goal,whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time.Or,if you're feeling charitable (有善心),donate a small sum of money to your favorite cause each time you hit your goal.
65.C
Reading is mainly an individual activity,but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more.Join a local book club,and if your library or town doesn't have one,start your own.Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads,PaperBack Swap or BookLamp,if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts.However,be sure that your reading time isn't eaten up by surfing the Internet.

61.B 內(nèi)容歸納以及細節(jié)理解題 通讀第四段可知,"You don't need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer."為本段的中心句,意為:你不需要昂貴的培訓計劃或軟件來幫助你閱讀更多的書籍;你真正需要的是一個定時器;以及根據(jù)下文如:"Consider how much free time…that time for reading.";"After a week,increase your time…continue adding the same small amount to your reading time."具體講述了對閱讀時間方面進行的調(diào)整,也可以推測出:本段主要介紹的是有關(guān)閱讀時間的問題;故選B
62.A 內(nèi)容歸納以及細節(jié)理解題 通讀第六段可知,該段中的最后一句"Keep track of how many pages you've read each week so you can see your progress."為本段的中心句,意為:保持跟蹤記錄你每周讀了多少頁,這樣你就可以看到你的進步;故選A
63.D 內(nèi)容歸納以及細節(jié)理解題 在第八段中提到的關(guān)鍵詞句有"Technology(技術(shù))";"make use of your electronic devices(利用你的電子產(chǎn)品)";"Invest in an e-reader(買一個電子閱讀器)"以及"your smart phone (你的智能手機)";可以推測此處的意思應是:借助技術(shù)化,智能化的工具使自己閱讀更多的書籍;故選D
64.F 內(nèi)容歸納以及細節(jié)理解題 通讀第十段可知,本段是圍繞著關(guān)鍵詞 reward(報答;賞金;)展開介紹的;例如:"Although you might…if you don't devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself.雖然你可能開始會很興奮或充滿熱情的去訓練著閱讀更多的書籍,但是如果你不想出一種獎勵或激勵自己的方法,這些會很快消失.";"These rewards don't…You could reward yourself with something,such as chocolate or a small gift這些獎勵不必很大或是太貴,你可以用諸如巧克力或小禮物等類似的東西來獎勵自己"等;故可推測出本段講述的是:要以某種方式來犒勞一下自己;故選F
65.C 內(nèi)容歸納以及細節(jié)理解題 通讀最后一段可知,本段主要介紹了如何通過參與社會化的閱讀來使自己閱讀更多的書籍;例如本段提到:"Join a local book club參加一個當?shù)氐膱D書俱樂部";"Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads,PaperBack Swap or BookLamp通過加入一些像Goodreads,PaperBack Swap,BookLamp等網(wǎng)站與其他愛讀書的人分享或了解更多關(guān)于你最喜歡讀的書"等;故選C
