You know you have to“read between lines.”I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. I want to persuade you to“write between the lines.”Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient(效率高的)kind of reading.

I insist that making_up_a_book is not an act of damage but of love.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you have by buying it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of buying is only the first step to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it. A comparison may make the point clear. You buy a piece of beef from the butcher's icebox. But you do not own the beef in the most important sense until you eat it and get it into your blood. I am arguing that books, too, must be absorbed in your blood to do you any good.

There are three kinds of book owners. The first has all the standard sets and bestsellers unread, untouched. The second has a great many books—a few of them read through, most of them dipped into, but all of them as clean and shiny as the day they were bought. The third has a few books every one of them worn, shaken and loose­ended by continual use, marked from front to back.

Why is making up a book necessary to read it?

First, it keeps you wide awake. In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked books is usually the thought through the book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

35.The third kind of book owners must be________.

A.experienced readers   B.untidy readers

C.efficient readers    D.careless readers

36.The underlined phrase“making up a book”probably means________.

A.writing down difficult sentences

B.finding the extra meanings of unknown words

C.writing in the space the ideas you get through reading

D.making notes to show you understand what you have read

37.How does the author persuade you to own a book?

A.To make it a part of yourself by writing in it.

B.To write down words and sentences that bring up rich ideas.

C.To mark puzzling questions that challenge you.

D.To note whatever disagreements you may have with the book.

38.One of the advantages of making up a book is to________.

A.absorb all the brilliant ideas it contains

B.keep either your thoughts or the writer's in mind

C.make yourself awake so that you can get more pleasure

D.enable yourself to pick up the book for continual reading

Is there a better way to get talented employees without hiring under­qualified college graduates and paying for extensive training to get them up to the required level? There is. Instead of just complaining that today's graduates are under­qualified, your company can invest in education. Find a local college or university that offers a major in your company's field and build a relationship with it. This relationship can take many forms, with different levels of involvement(参与)for both the school and the business.

Starting small is a good idea. Call the college, talk to the appropriate department head, and offer your company's assistance. Offering in the school a chance to train students in your company's software or hardware means that there will be more people trained in the use of these products. This adds to your company's market share and potential employee pool, and enhances its public image. Donations may qualify your company for deduction, which can help its bottom line.

This knowledge swap benefits your company and the school. Your company gets graduates trained in areas it chooses and has a place to send current employees for more training. While your company's corporate image improves, the school gains resources that makes it more attractive to prospective students.

Your company will have access(进入)to inexpensive, bright, motivated labor; a chance to recruit the most qualified college graduates; and a chance to influence those who will work in its industry. Students do not forget what they learn during a good internship(实习)experience. And someday they may be in a position to choose, on behalf of an entire company, between your company's product and a competitor's.

The school benefits, too. The promise of good internships is a great way to recruit(招收)students, because internships give the students a chance to apply the skills they have learned in a practical setting. We all know how much better real­world experience looks on a resume than just educational experience.

From both the business and the educational perspective, relationships between corporations and colleges can be mutually(互相)beneficial. If such partnerships grow in the future, the current gap between the number of technology jobs and the qualified pool of talent to fill them may yet be closed.

39.The author suggests many ways except that________.

A.the partnership can take many forms

B.a school should find a company and build a relationship with it

C.a company should offer the school a chance to train students in its software and hardware

D.a company must enhance its public image

40.According to the author, the partnership between business and education will________.

A.be mutually beneficial           B.benefit only the company

C.benefit only the school           D.not solve the talent shortage

41.The main idea of the passage is(that)________.

A.the real­world experience looks better than just educational experience.

B.the majority of interns are eager to apply their learning in school to the real world

C.the lack of technology talent

D.the business and education should have a marriage

42.What does the underlined word mean in the third paragraph?

A.sweep       B.union           C.exchange       D.development

I am an elementary school teacher. I think homework should be done by the child and it should take only about half an hour. Parents should write a note if they had to help a lot, and this tells the teacher that the day's lesson needs more review. Some things are more easily learned if they are practiced at home. Students should develop independence and organization. I send home fairly simple homework because I do not wish to see how creative mom, dad, the neighbors and grandma are with large projects...what is this teaching the child? Independence? Creativity?

Many readers are noticing the alarming trend(趋势)to test, test, test. These new tests are not like the ones we remember. They are really difficult and abstract. Besides the usual math problems, third and fourth grade tests now ask about probablity(概率), tessellation and flips, slides, turns. Some teachers have had to increase the pace of their instruction to cover all the topics that will appear on the tests, thus, they send home homework that kids may not fully understand or send more homework home so they can, they hope, cover more content faster. It's not a good idea, but the trend of testing has driven teachers to push, push, push. Parents should be concerned about the testing that is such an important issue. I would advise parents to walk to the teacher if they find the homework too hard. Is the child not getting work done at school, or is it simply too much? Some teachers will change the amount of work. And yes, I have been on the other side of the blackboard and had to make my son and daughter do their homework. I was a sticker for not doing it for them.

43.The passage might be an opinion posted on the Internet under the title________.

A.How Should Homework Done Independently by Students

B.Should Parents Contribute to Kids' Homework

C.Should You Say No to Homework

D.How Should Test Papers Be Written

A.reasonable amount of easy homework is necessary
