A No nation leaped into the 20th century like Japan. For two hundred years, Japan remained and isolated from the rest of the world. It doubted of western ways. In 1854, Commodore Perry of the U. S. Navy sailed into Tokyo Bay. When he showed the people inventions like the telegraph and railroad train, Japan realized what it was missing. Japan has quickly caught up with western technology. It may have even gone past it. Japan has a population of over 116,000,000. The people are thickly settled on the four main islands. Since only one sixth of the land is arable, Japan relies on imported food. To pay for the imports, Japan exports manufactured goods. Japan builds and sells cars, motorcycles, television sets, radios and cameras. Textiles and chemicals also made. In Yokohama Harbor, ships are constructed for use by other nations. The "head start" western nations had may be the reason for Japan's success today. Western countries are still using machines and technology that they developed many years ago. Japan is using newer, improved methods. For example, robots are relieving factory-workers of long, tiring jobs. Modem technology has brought modern problems. Air and water quality reached dangerous levels in some parts of Japan in the late 1960's. Since then, the Japanese government has applied strong pollution controls.

B Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes. The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well, either. The one who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as a translation of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students are those who use large college dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context(上下文). Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form or a verb might have an un- usual past form, they check these in a dictionary.

A.choose a good dictionary, and you'll succeed in learning English

D PALO ALTO, California--" Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter--even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise," US researchers said last week. A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91kg)less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet. "The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity," said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University. "American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years." Robinson said. In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise. "One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories," Robinson said. "Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more," Robinson said.
1. The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________.
A.children will get fatter if they eat too much
B.children will get thinner if they eat less
C.children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV
D.children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV
E Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books--especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy ' proper' book, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard cowers. There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshop in the world to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’time. Some of these shops sell, of will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books , in books on philosophy, politics of any other of a very large number of subjects which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet. Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Chafing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must travel off the beat- en track, to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grandiose (宏大的)as bookshops. Instead, the book sellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on to small barrows (活动推车)which line the roadside. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
