听力原文：Reading Faster Good morning, boys and girls. Today, we are going to talk about how to read faster when you are doing reading comprehension. Actually the only way to read faster is to read faster. This may sound like double-talk, but it is a serious suggestion. The fact is that most people can read faster simply by making a conscious effort to do so. (1) The following are some guidelines from the “Just Do It” school on speed reading. First, get your body ready. Get off the couch. Sit at a desk or table and sit up, on the edge of your chair, with your feet flat on the floor. When you feel your body ready to start the reading, breathe in and out deeply for several times. (2) Next, set a time limit. Use a clock or a digital watch with a built-in stopwatch to time yourself. The objective is not to set speed records, so be realistic. The idea is to give yourself a gentle push, increasing your reading speed without sacrificing comprehension. Another hint from the “Just Do It” school is to relax. (3) Relaxation promotes concentration. But remember, relaxation is not the
same thing as sleep. So focus on the reading material and relax when you find it difficult to comprehend. (4) You may begin the experiment with the “Just Do It” method right now. Read the reading comprehension material as fast as you can. After you finish, come back and reread the same paragraphs at your usual rate. Notice how much you remembered from your first sprint. (5) You can also read faster by moving your eyes faster. When we read, our eyes leap across the page in short bursts which is called speed-reading. Your eyes can move faster if they take in more words with each burst—six instead of three, for example. (6) When you’re in a hurry, scan the assignment and read the headings, subheadings, lists, tables, graphs and summary paragraphs. By doing so, you get the general idea of the passage and then you may focus on the questions as well as the details. (7) Another way to read faster is not to vocalize. Obviously, you’re more likely to read faster if you don’t read aloud or move your lips. To stop doing it, just be aware of it. And also you may practice reading faster with simpler material at first. That way you can pay closer attention. A cautionary note about these techniques is that speed isn’t everything. (8) Skillful readers vary their reading rates according to their purpose and the nature of the material. You can also use different reading rates on the same material. That is the method we should use in everyday English learning. When you comprehend the passage in our textbook, you may skim the passage to get the main idea and key words. (9) Then pay attention to the questions that follow, and focus on the answers where they appear in the passage. (10) Also you should pay attention to the difficult part of the passage. As you are practicing reading more and reading faster, you will surprisingly find you can not only read faster, but also comprehend better. That is all for today’s lecture. Thanks for your attention.

Joining us today to talk about how she interprets your gifts is the editor in chief of Ashmen.com, James Smith. Good morning, James. Good to see you.M: Nice to see you.W: We know this is one of those websites for a few men. And if you got any question about being a man, basically you can go there, right?M: Yes, we have the answers to all questions that guys have.W: All questions?M: Yeah. We have run seven million readers a month. And we deal with advice in every area that could be of interest to guys. So...W: And who is giving out the advice, men or women?M: Ah, as for the most parts, men. (7) Most of our writers and editors are men, but when it comes to the dating stuff, we’d like to get the woman’s point of view in there too, because they know what they want, right?W: It’s important, right. So if you’ve got a question you’re afraid to ask your wife or your girlfriend, go to the website. While we mention this whole thing about interpreting gifts, what’s that all about? M: Well, if you think about giving your girlfriend two gifts that she knows she could get, you can bet that she is thinking about that and she is painting a picture of that. So once she receives it, you wanna make sure you delivered it and you’d better meet the expectations that she generated.W: Got you, very good. (8-1) Okay, let’s come to the possible gifts for Christmas. The one women seem to like the most is brand jewelry. Is that a safe bet?M: (8-2) Yes, it can be a safe bet, and in an established relationship it can be a very safe bet. (9) I specify “established” because if you do it too early in a relationship, that’s gonna send a message that you might not wanna give, or she might not wanna get. It symbolizes commitment and it’s a serious gift, jewelry. If you do it a little too early it might create some miscommunication.W: What if it’s just a subtle jewel? Maybe something golden or a little golden-looking, yoUKnow, a little more
low-key.M: Yes, I think you want to be a little discreet about it. (10-1) Don’t just depend on the value of it, but most importantly, tailor for her. Make sure that’s in keeping with her tastes.W: (10-2) So if you’ve been going out only for a couple of months, do not rush out to the jewelry store.M: Yes. Get back from the jewelry store. You are gonna scare her off.W: Perfume, another logical gift. M: Yeah, that’s it.W: All right, great to see you.M: Thank you.6. What is the interview mainly about?7. About what advice would people ask women on Ashmen.com!8. Which is the safest Christmas gift for your girlfriend in an established relationship?9.

解析：根据句(10-1)可知，男嘉宾认为礼物是否合适不仅仅取决于其本身的价值，更重要的是要为女友量身而定，即要确保所送礼物符合她的品味。根据句(10-2)可知，男嘉宾认为如果只是和女友交往了几个月，那么就不要冲向珠宝首饰店。由前文可知，在固定交往阶段可以送品牌珠宝首饰给女友，而首饰在最初交往阶段就很可能被拒绝。可见送女友礼物要根据她的品味和交往阶段的不同而选择。因此D为答案。 知识模块：对话
