How can you get the most information from a book? Here are some{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (suggest)that can help you read effectively（有效地)．

  Read the whole thing．

    When you're learning something by reading，it's{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (important)to have a general idea than to understand every detail．In fact，no matter how{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(careful)you read，you won't remember or understand all of the details．So {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(remember)the main points will be OK．

Decide how much time you will spend．

    If you know that you have only six hours{#blank#}5{#/blank#}a book，it'll be wise of you to adjust(调整) yourself．The more clearly you know your limits(限制)，the more effective your reading will be．So never start to read without planning when{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(stop)．

Have{#blank#}7{#/blank#}purpose．

    Before you begin，find out{#blank#}8{#/blank#}you want to read this book．If you don't have reasons of your own， you can't learn much．After you start to read，try to think of four{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(question)：Who is the writer? What are the book's opinions? What are the reasons? What are the conclusions?

Read it three times．

    You'll get the most out of the book {#blank#}10{#/blank#}you read it three times—fast-reading for general ideas，reading for understanding，and then reading for note-taking and remembering．

Helen is my friend. She is thirteen years old. She is {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (study) in London, the capital city of England. She'd like to visit different {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (place) and meet different {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (people) when she is on holiday. She likes reading very much. Now, she's standing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (介词) line in a bookshop. She's buying {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (冠词) English storybook.

    Many people like animals and take them as their pets, so pet hospitals are usually very busy. Kind persons {#blank#}1{#/blank#} love animals are needed to help in busy animal hospitals. Vets (兽医) will teach them {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to take care of the animals.

    Scientists think that pets will {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (probable) be much smaller {#blank#}4{#/blank#} people in the future will live in much smaller space. Scientists are now working on making very small farm animals, and the same thing might be done to make small cats and dogs.

    It {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (be) said that some day you might own a panther (豹) as a pet. Some scientists believe that they might have to start turning wild animals into pets, since this might be the only way to save them from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (die) out.

    What about taking a robot as a pet? This may sound strange, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it could become true. Robot dogs have been made {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sell). They are like real dogs. These pets might become more and more popular in the future.

    Lots of people miss their pets when they are {#blank#}9{#/blank#} holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. It lends cats to their guests. Many expels believe more and more people will like this idea. It is very possible that in the future you will be able to order a pet, as well as room service, at {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hotel.

    Usually, students are not encouraged to run or jump around in the hallways. However, students in a British grammar school really enjoy {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（run） on the tiles（瓷砖） of the hallways and their teachers even encourage them to do that.

    Why? It is because the hallways were {#blank#}2{#/blank#}（build） with special tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be generated（产生）. After one year, the electricity {#blank#}3{#/blank#}is generated from the tiles can be enough for 853 mobile phones to get full power again, or for an electric car to drive seven {#blank#}4{#/blank#}（mile）. It's amazing, isn't it?

    The tiles are really {#blank#}5{#/blank#}fascinating invention. Students can not only play in the hallways, but {#blank#}6{#/blank#}help power the lights in their school hallways and other devices（设备） in their classrooms. Besides, this is a good way to teach students to be {#blank#}7{#/blank#}（create）. They will be inspired to be scientists, inventors and engineers {#blank#}8{#/blank#}the future to find clean energy for all humans.

    The inventor of the magic tiles is Laurence Kemball-Cook. He was once a student in this school. Now, he is the CEO of {#blank#}9{#/blank#}（he） own company. The hallway tiles are not Laurence's only invention. He has also invented a special dance floor, which can be {#blank#}10{#/blank#}（easy） used at music festivals. It allows dancers to charge their mobile phones while they are dancing on the dance floor.
