By the time that a student reaches his senior year in high school, he is likely to believe that he is an
expert in reading. No matter how 1 he is, he can still improve. How do you read an article in a
textbook? Do you have a certain 2 of doing it or do you just 3 at the beginning and keep
reading 4 you come to the end?
5 students say that they use the " slow and sure" method. By this they mean they read every
sentence slowly and 6 . Every time they come to an 7 word they stop 8 what it means
and, if necessary, look it up in the 9 . In this method a person 10 has no time left for 11 what
he has read, for he has used all his 12 in trying to get the meaning of each word to 13 that he
14 everything.
Other students use what has been 15 the "review" method. Here a person tries to arrange his
time 16 he can read his lesson 17 twice. This type of reading is 18 than the " slow and sure"
method, for the lesson 19 be read rapidly or there will not be 20 time left for a second reading.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping-watching TV and buying things by phone.
Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In some 1 countries, people can turn on their 2 and shop
for clothes, jewelry, food and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming 3 in Sweden. For example, the biggest Swedish company sells varieties
of things on TV in different European countries, and in one year, it 4 $10 million. In France, there"re
two teleshopping channels, and the French 5 about $ 20 million a year in buying things through those
channels.
In Germany, until last year, teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day.
Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can 6 for telebusiness, including
the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German 7 are
hoping these will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without 8 . With
heavy traffic in cities, going shopping isn"t easy. But meanwhile, other Europeans 9 this new way
of buying things. They call teleshopping " 10 on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the
quality of the things 11 on TV. They think high quality is the most important, and they are not sure
about the quality of the things 12 .
The need of high quality means that the European teleshopping companies will have to be 13 the
American companies. They will have to be more careful about the 14 of the things they sell. They
will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot 15 or see by themselves.

With the arrival of the age of "information economy", intellectual work is becoming a more
important source of wealth than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more
to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot
of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for
journalists. In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the
words of a spokesperson.
2._________________
There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper"s owner, Lord Copper. The editors can
never disagree with him. When he"s right about something they answer "definitely", and when he"s
wrong they say "to some extent, Lord Copper." It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real
world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for
them.
3.________________
In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial
organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience
ratings. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to
show. In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment.
There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present
as a sensational story.
4._______________
There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording
sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People around the world
will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted
news-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mean also is that we"ll be subjected to a still greater
amount of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally,
a made-up story that you will never be able to check.
5._______________
Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don"t just mean changing your choice of
TV channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only
have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative
journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth.
to grow up to be just like his father, and every little girl thinks her father is the smartest man on the
earth. It"s not very easy to be a good father, but it"s not that difficult either. Children will truly enjoy
spending time with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they are adults.
Not all children communicate well with their fathers. Communication is often left to mothers, while
fathers dispense advice as and when necessary. Don"t expect all conversations to center around the
dinner table. Go to your children"s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their
friends. Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided. When your children open up to you,
you also need to open up to them.
If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the
matter And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don"t voice your
opinion. It may be silly to you, but to your children it is important enough. So don"t wave the topic
away by telling them not to bother about such stupid things. Simply discussing their problems with
them will help them feel better.
Don"t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children"s love lives. Generally speaking,
your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you. Try to let them know that
you are relaxed about topics on love. ell your children how you met your wife. It is perfectly normal
for children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic
closed for discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you. All they
will do is turn to their friends.
