But it’s something you’ll have to do on your language learning journey. Reading well in English is useful for many reasons, including but not limited to taking tests. These tips are for you! 15 There are textbooks and graded readers, but there are also lots of books you can read. To choose the right reading material (材料), you need to decide what your goal is. And don’t pick a book that is too easy or too difficult. 16 To improve your reading, you need to plan a time to read. To make sure your practice gets done, put it in your study schedule! You could also set a reading goal. Set aside a certain amount of time to spend reading or decide on a certain number of pages you want to read each day. 17 Reading can both introduce you to new words and teach you how to use them. Many words in English are often used together in a similar way. Reading groups of words, or words that go together, will help you better understand how to use your new vocabulary. 18 As you’re practicing your reading, you need to accept the fact that you might not understand every single word, and that’s OK! Your brain can only learn so many new vocabulary words at one time. It’s more important to get the big picture of what you’re reading and go back to check words you don’t understand later. We hope these tips can help improve your reading skills! A．Don’t try to understand everything. B．How to improve your reading. C．Choose the right reading materials. D．How to learn all the subjects well. E．Read groups of words. F．Be well planned. （B） 请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On the first morning of a new term, Jared remembered the things he didn’t like about school: Jessica, maths and reading aloud.

The sender paid for the letter to travel in his or her own country. 29 If a letter crossed several countries, the problem was worse. Rowland Hill, a British teacher, had the idea of postage stamp with glue on the back. The British post office made the first stamps in 1840. There were the Penny Black and the Two Pence Blue. A person bought a stamp and put it on a letter. 30 When people received letters, they didn’t have to pay anything. The postage was prepaid. Postage stamps became popular in Great Britain immediately. 31 But some countries didn’t want to accept letters with stamps from others. 32 Each country in the UPU agreed to accept letters with prepaid postage from other members. And now almost every country in the world is a member of this organization. 33 Today post offices in every country sell beautiful stamps. Collecting stamps is one of the most popular hobbies in the world, and every stamp collector knows about the Penny Black and the Two pence Blue. A．The post office delivered the letter.
