On Saturday afternoon, Li Hua and Wang Ping, members from “ Green Eyes”, was having an environmental protection activity near the riverside when they catch sight of a bird on the ground．
They picked it out and found it wounded．Thinking it might die without timely help, they took it to home．They made a nest for it but fed it with rice and water．Under their treatment and care, the lucky birds got recovered soon．When time came for them fly the bird back to nature, they felt a bit pity but very delighting．
I think it’s worthwhile for him to do such a thing．Here I call on the public to show respect for nature．Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along good with it．
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When you are hungry, what will you respond ? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？ 1 But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow，creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next？”, or “Why can’t I think？”
2 Why reading but not watching TV？It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life，we have to take help from reading．
When you read a book，of course you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you． 3 Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times，the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things，which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity． 4 Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．
So, friends, do give food to your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading． 5 Go and get a book!
A．The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed．
B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．
D．Now what are you waiting for?
E．Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading．
F．Reading can help you make more friends, too．
G．Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary．
So much to do, so little time．So much information, so little time to read．In this age there is more information than ever before．There is not enough time to read everything we want to read．However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading．This article will not make you read 3,000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly．You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading．
When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously （极大的）．
How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．
The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal （水平的） surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It's hard to read with a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understanding of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand．Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush, start out slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase your speed．
The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals．Read using different techniques,
but make sure you understand what you're reading．
1.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?
A．Now there is limited information than ever before．
B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information．
C．Now people can read what they like．
D．The less you read, the more time you will spend．
2.The underlined sentence “you should be focused” in the fifth paragraph means that ______．
A．a person should devote his attention to it while reading

C．a person should smooth away difficulties while he reads
D．you should pay attention to your faults while you are reading
3.To speed up your reading, you should_________．
A．sit up straight with your book flat and use something to guide your eyes
