One day a large rock（岩石）fell down from a mountain. The rock rolled（滚）down and stopped in the middle of a road in a village. It was like a big ball.
Some of the strongest men in the village tried to lift the rock. They did their best but they couldn't move it away. They tried to push it, they tried to roll it, they tried to pull it with ropes, but nothing worked because the rock was too large. “Well,” they agreed,“there’s nothing we can do about it. We’ll have to build another road.”
At the time a young boy about 12 years old was standing by. “Excuse me,” he said, “but I think I can help you move the rock.”
“You?” they shouted. “What are you talking about? All of us have just tried, and even together we can’t move it at all.” The men all laughed at（嘲笑）the boy.
The next morning some people came into the road. One of then shouted, “The rock is gone.” More people ran out into the road to see for themselves. It was true. The rock wasn’t on the road any more.It wasn’t even near the road. In fact, no one could see the rock anywhere.
“This is impossible.” They said. “Where has it gone?” The twelve-year-old boy stood out, smiling. “I told you I could move it.” he said.
“I did it last night. You see,” he said. “I dug a deep hole next to the rock and the rock rolled down into the hole by itself. Then I covered it with the earth.”

You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read correctly.
Perhaps some bad reading habits (习惯) make you read more slowly. Now read these questions and check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.
◆Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently (默读)?
◆Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
◆Do you move your head from side to side while you are reading?
◆Do you read one word at a time (一次)?
If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.
If you move your lips, put your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them.
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (静止不动的).
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance (一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.
Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster.
51．If you learn to read correctly, ________.
A．you can read more in less time

New York State has passed the USA’s first state law banning (禁止) drivers from talking on mobile phones. The ban will begin in November, although drivers caught using mobile phones will get only warnings during the first month.
First-time violators (违法者) will face a $100 fine. A second time call for a $200 fine and every violation after that will cost $500.
At least 12 cities have made bans, starting in 1999 and 40 states have the bans but not passed. At least 23 countries, including Great Britain, Italy, Israel and Japan, ban drivers from using mobile phones.
There are about 115 million mobile phones in use in the United States and more than 6 million in New York State.
“To think that I’m not going to use a mobile phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop (手提电脑) or I still can read a paper while driving at 65 mph. I think there’s just
something wrong,” an official said.
Other critics (批评) noted other things like eating, drinking coffee and doing make-up (化妆) while driving. They suggested that the ban include a wider range (范围) of things. 56．________ has passed the ban that drivers mustn’t talk on mobile phones.
