31、re and public humiliation(侮辱).When children are little we make them read aloud before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they“know”all the words they are reading.This means that when they dont know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having tau

32、ght fifth-gra de classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.One day soon after school had started,I said to them,“Now Im going to say something about reading that you have probably never h

33、eard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,thats enough f

34、or me.Also Im not going to ask you what words mean.”The children sat stunned and silent.Was this teacher talking seriously?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said sl

35、owly and seriously,Mr Holt,do you really mean that“I said just as seriously?”I mean every word of it.During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations(插图)I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,“It cant be,”and went to take

36、 a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick.I said,“Dont you find parts of it rather heavy going”She answered,“Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part.”This is exactly what reading,I think,should be:find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the ba

37、d parts,get what you can out of it,and then go on to something else.54.According to the passage,childrens fear and dislike of books may result from _.A.reading little and thinking little B.reading often and adventurously C.being made to read too much D.being made to read aloud before others 55.The t

38、eacher told his students to read _.A.for higher scores in exams B.for knowledge C.for enjoyment D.for a larger vocabulary 56.Upon hearing the teachers talk,the children probably felt that _.A.it sounded stupid B.it was not surprising at all C.it sounded too good to be true D.it was no different from

40、r coming to this school.C Running on Empty For almost a century,scientists have assumed,tirednessor exhaustionin athletes originates(起源于)in the muscles.Precise explanations have varied,but all have been based on the“Limitations Theory”.In other words,muscles tire because they hit a physical limit:th

41、ey either run out of fuel or oxygen or they drown in harmful by-products(副产品).In the past few years,however,Timothy Noakes from the University of Cape Town,South Africa,has examined this standard theory.Tiredness,he argues,is caused not by signals springing from overtaxed muscles,but is an emotional

42、 response which begins in the brain.The fundamental nature of his new theory is that the brain paces the muscles to keep them well back from the edge of exhaustion.When the brain decides its time to quit,it creates unbearable muscle tiredness.This“Central Governor”theory remains controversial,but it

43、 does explain many puzzling aspects of athletic performance.A recent discovery that Noakes calls the“lactic acid paradox”made him start researching this area seriously.Lactic acid is a by-product of exercise,and the increase of it is often mentioned as a cause of tiredness.But when research subjects

44、 exercise in certain conditions created artificially,they become tired even though lactic acid levels remain low.Nor has the oxygen content of their blood fallen too low for them to keep going.Obviously,something else was making them tire before they hit either of these physiological limits.Noakes c

45、onducted an experiment with seven cyclists.It has long been known that during exercise,the body never uses 100%of the available muscle fibres(纤维).The amount used varies,but in some tasks such as this cycling test the body calls on about 30%.His team found that as tiredness set in,the electrical acti

46、vity in cyclists legs declinedeven when they were making a great effort to cycle as fast as they could.To Noakes,this was strong evidence that the old theory was wrong.“The cyclists may have felt completely exhausted,”he says,“but their bodies actually had considerable reserves that they could theor

47、etically tap by using a greater amount of the resting fibres.”This,he believes,is the proof that the brain is regulating the pace of the workout to hold the cyclists well back from the point of extreme tiredness.58.Which of the following is supported by“the Limitations Theory”?A.Tiredness is caused

48、by signals from brain.B.Athletes feel tired when they use up all their energy.C.The body uses 100%of the muscle fibres in exercise.D.Athletes become tired though lactic acid levels remain low.59.Noakes has found out that _.A.muscle fibres control athletes movements B.Lactic acid levels remain high i

49、n cycling test C.mental processes control the symptoms of tiredness D.different exercises use different amount of muscle fibres 60.It is likely that both theories accept that _.A.lactic acid is produced in muscles during exercise B.the oxygen content in blood may rise after sports C.tiredness is a h

50、armful by-product of exercise D.the energy in human bodies can be balanced 61.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The description of a new test.B.The explanation of the theory.C.The puzzling evidence of a study.D.The whole process of the research.D The new social robots,including Jibo,Cozmo,Kuri and
