If you read one million words in English, finally you will think in that language．With this theory in mind, the Gamagori Municipal Library, in Japan, recently started a lending  1  for books in English with the purpose of  2  people to learn the language more  3  ．

       Kunihide Sakai is a professor at Electro Communications University in Tokyo and president of the Extensive Reading Association of Japan．  4  the early 1990s, Sakai has been finding ways to  5  extensive reading to reading books in English．

       The rules are: use no dictionaries while reading; jump  6  difficult words and phrases; and stop reading the book if it is too  7  ．

       According to Sakai, if you  8  to these rules, you can get through more than one million words with  9  ．And finally you will think in English．The method also helps readers  10  reading books in English rather than growing to dislike them．

       According to Professor Hitoshi Nishizawa at the Toyota National Colleges of Technology in Japan, four technology colleges have  11  the extensive reading method．His own college adopted the method for its electric technology English class, which is held for one hour each week, from the second grade to the fifth grade as well as in the two-year advanced  12  ．And  13 

applying the method, the average TOEIC（Test of English for International Communication） score of the college’s graduates  14  from 330 to 500．

       The Gamagori library decided to   15  the college’s example and lend books for extensive reading．The library has  16  about 1,400 books, which include those  17  for students of English as a second language．The English level is equal to  18  of fourth-grade primary school students in Britain and the United States．After  19  this level of English, they can read Harry Potter books in English, according to the professor．

       “The method is effective not only for  20  their reading skills, but also for their hearing ability,” said Nishizawa．

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed．When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed．Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of．It is therefore so important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits．Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live．Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by bad habits．

       There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help．Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on．

       Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on．These are all easily formed habits．Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided．

       We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others．

       A．bad habits            B．good habits          C．children               D．other persons

3．Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

       A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us．

       B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit．

       C．Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits．   

       D．Because we are forced to do them again and again．

4．According to the passage, early rising    ．

Two thieves came to a house to steal something．They dug a hole in the wall of the house．One of them crawled into the house while the other waited outside．

       There lived many mice in the house．The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house． “Look! In comes one,” she said to the man in the house．The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, “She found me when I was just in．” But the thief outside didn’t believe him, so he said, “Let us two try to crawl into the house together．” At that time, two mice happened to crawl into the house, too．The woman saw the mice and shouted, “In come two．Catch them!” The two thieves were terribly frightened．The man in the house said, “You saw them come in but where are they? I will catch them tonight．”The two thieves started to run away at once．

       The two thieves wanted to make it clear whether they had been found or not the night before．The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and went to the front of the house．The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields．The rope broke and the woman went home for one．She saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some．She picked out two which looked like mice．At that time the man couldn’t wait for her any longer and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up．The woman showed the sweet potatoes to the man and said, “How they like the two of last night．”The man said, “I asked you to fetch a rope．Why don’t you hurry for it?” The two thieves ran away very quickly without their sweet potatoes．

In the last 500 years nothing about people’s clothes, ideas, or languages has changed as much as what they eat．Chocolate drink was first made from the seeds of the cacao（可可）tree by South American Indians．The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s．And although it was very expensive, it quickly became popular．In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became important places．Some still exist today．The potato is also front the New World．Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown．Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the years of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to go to live in America．

       There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World．But some others went in the opposite direction．Brazil is now the world’s largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in other South American countries．But it is native to Ethiopia．It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s．According to an Arabic story, coffee was discovered when a goat keeper named Lakdi noticed that his goats were eating red fruits on a coffee tree．He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one third of the world’s population now start the day with．
