When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also you can learn how to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.
Good reading tips:
Try to read at the right level（水平）. Read something that you can （more or less）understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you don't have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meaning as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix（固定） a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book.

7．阅读下列短文, 根据要求完成下列各题。

Years ago, if a teenager（青少年） had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now a teenager with the same problems might get on the Internet and write in his blog （博客）. In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog different from a diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public（公开的） than a diary. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as one full of secrets. Both diaries and blogs tell what happened to the writer that day.
A blog has both good and bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write in your blog. If you are not pleased with a friend during school and write something bad about him or her on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.
A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs: they know that their friends will read what they write. If you are feeling sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort（安慰） you or give their help. Blogs help people stay in close contact（联系） and let them know what their friends are doing.
（1）In the past, teenagers wrote life problems ________. But now they like writing problems ________.
（2）In many ways, a diary and a blog are ________. Both of them tell ________.
（3）A blog has both ________ points. ________ can read what you write in your blog.
（4）If you write ________ about your friend in your blog, he may ________ after reading it.
（5）Where will you choose to write down your problems, in a blog or in a diary? Why?

Emergencies（紧急情况）don't happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968, the United States government agreed on one number that people could call for emergencies. They thought that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it's 999. If you're not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.
When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger at the moment! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.
When in an emergency call
When you dial the 911 operator（接线员）, it' s always OK to give out your information.
Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what's happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don' t hang up（挂断）!
If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it's
OK to do so. In this way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid.
About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their houses as much as possible.
In 1749, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people for stopping thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street.
Fifty years later, there were about 120"Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829, the first Metropolitan （or London） Police Service was started with about 3, 000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Today, London police are quite well—paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even higher than for the others.

A. a few

（2）About 300 years ago, many people _______.

Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point in their lives. These days, shyness is becoming more and more common. Now, scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.
Is it possible to be born shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result, scientists think that some shyness is genetic.
Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. The scientists said that these children were often bullied（欺负）by their older brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. At the same time, children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.
You may also be shy because of where you were born. When scientists studied shyness in different countries, they found surprising differences. In Japan, most people said they were shy. But in Israel, only one of three people said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan, when people do not succeed, they feel bad about themselves. They blame（责备）themselves for their failure. In Israel, the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons, such as family, teachers, friends or bad luck. In Israel, freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.
For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversations. And don't forget-if you are shy, you are not the only one.
（1）What is the passage mainly about?
A. Happiness.
B. Shyness.
C. Kindness.
D. Loneliness.
（2）What does the underlined word "genetic" in Paragraph 2probably mean?
A. Passed down from parents.
B. Learned from friends.
C. Taught by teachers.
D. Made up by brothers.
（3）What can be learned from the passage?
A. Most little babies are born shy and quiet.
B. If you are shy now, you will be shy forever.
C. Many shy children have older brothers and sisters.
D. Most Israeli people are shy of expressing opinions.
（4）We can learn from the passage that may cause shyness.
A. genetics, grown-ups and birthplace
B. genetics, family size and birthplace
C. family size, grown-ups and failure
D. genetics, family size and freedom
（5）Scientists suggest that shy people can get over the shyness by .
