Passage 1
One of the most
important tasks of remembering what you read is
choosing the right ideas to remember.
It
’
s
easy to say
this, but many readers do not realize that they
must learn to choose what is worth remembering.
Just as a traveler in a desert searches
for landmarks, you must learn to find
‘<
/p>
landmarks
’
to guide
you through
your reading. These
landmarks are the main ideas, the important
statements around which the writer builds his
article.
To find main ideas
easily, you should practise the skill of looking
for the most important statement in each
paragraph.
If
this
statement
were
taken
away,
the
paragraph
would
have
no
meaning.
But
if
the
rest
of
the
paragraph were taken
away, the statement would still make the
writer
’
s message clear.
By collecting the main ideas of the
paragraphs you read, you will find you have a
series of statements that,
put
together, make up the main ideas the writer wanted
you to discover.
41. This
passage tells us________.
A. how to
read
B. how to remember
C. how to
find the main ideas to remember
D. the importance of reading
42. If you travel in a desert, and
don
’
t want to lose your way,

important statements
D. landmarks
43. To find main ideas easily, you
should ________.
A. take up reading
B. write often
C. practice
reading more
D. practice the skill of
looking for the most important statement in each
paragraph
44. Without its main idea, a
paragraph ________.
A. would be
meaningful
B. would be meaningless
C. would still make the
writer
’
s message clear
D. would help the readers to consider
45. The writer wanted you to discover
________.
A. the statements in his

words

the word phrases
Passage 2
In the U.S., people prefer waiting for
a table to sitting with people they
don
’
t know. This means a
hostess
may not seat a small group
until a small table is available, even if a large
one is. If you are sitting at a table with
people you don
’
t
know, it is impolite to light up a cigarette
without first asking if it will disturb them.
At American restaurants and coffee
shops you are usually served tap water before you
order. You may find
the bread and
butter is free, and if you order coffee, you may
get a free refill.
Most cities and
towns have no rules about opening and closing
times for stores or restaurants, though they
usually do make rules for bars.
Especially in large cities, stores may be open 24
hours a day.
Servings in restaurants
are often large, too large for many people. If you
can
’
t finish your meal but
would
like to enjoy the food later, ask
your waitress or waiter for
a
?
doggie
bag
?
. It may have a picture
of a dog on it, but
everybody knows you
are taking food for yourself.
Supper
and
dinner
are
both
words
for
the
evening
meal.
Some
people
have
?
Sunday
dinner
?
.This
is
an
especially
big noon meal.
