听力原文:W: [19] I'm sorry, but I can't let you check out these books.
M: What do you mean?
W: [20] Wow, the computer shows you got an overdue book, art work, out since last September.
M: But that's impossible. I only started going to this school last month and I'm a business major, not an artist.
W: Oh. This is pretty strange. Let me look out the records. OK. You are Richard Smith?
M: Yeah.
W: You live at fifty thirty-three western?

W: You did say you are Richard Smith, right?
M: Yeah, well, my full name is Richard James Smith, but I usually go by Richard Smith.
W: Let me check one more thing on the computer. Aha, I see now. [21] There's another Richard Smith in the class... Richard El Smith. And it looks like he's the one who got the overdue book checked out.
M: Another Richard Smith? No kidding.
W: So I guess you two never met.
M: No, but I think I should probably try. I could at least warn him what's just happened.
W: Good idea. Now I'll let you check out these books today. [22] But I suggest you start using your middle name, or mid initial to avoid any problem like this in the future.

听力原文: Gates was born and brought up in Seattle. [29] At the age of 14, he founded a computer programming company with three friends, and they had earned $20,000 by selling their traffic-counting system to local governments. In 1975, he dropped out of his law course at Harvard to found the Microsoft Software Company in Washington. Gates' domination of the emerging computer industry began in 1980-1981, when he devised an operating system and licensed it to IBM. [30] 6MS-DOS became the standard operating system for nearly all IBM personal computers. During the 1980s, Microsoft also developed more specialized software. When the company went public in 1986, [31] Gates became a multimillionaire at the age of 31. Five years later, he was ranked as the world's richest man. In the 1990s, Gates made a fresh fortune from sales of Windows, a system that enables a computer to be operated with on-screen symbols rather than complex keyboard commands. A revised version was launched amid huge publicity in 1995.

The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words and phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of these separate letters.
When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one, however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short halts (停顿); the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Some- times, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at once.
The teacher’s task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one "eye jump" ) and remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time.
This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable (音节), or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong, It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil’s eye down to a very short jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase.
Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph?

A. Pupils should be trained to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols.
B. Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape.
C. Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols.
D. Teachers should tell their pupils the different stages of their study.
