阅读强化训练(十一)[学生用书P151(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解I was driving to town on a beautiful summer day.The sky was fullof clouds.The sun was dancing through the green trees with its goldenlight and I was smiling at the wonder of it.Suddenly，a truck rounded in front of me，two feet over the centerline.I pulled my wheel to the right and my tires spit(迸出) up land waste along the side of the road as I just missed the truck on one side and a ditch(沟渠) on the other.I noticed the other driver looking at his cell phone totally unaware of the near miss.I closed my mouth in order to avoid saying the words that I promised myself I would no longer use.Later in town，I was coming out of a store when a yellow butterfly started to circle around my head.I smiled peacefully and held out my open hand.To my joy，the butterfly landed on it briefly and swung(扇动) its wings before flying away.I looked around to see if anyone else noticed this small wonder，but the only two people near me had their heads down，looking at their cell phone screens.I began to think that life is what happens while people are busy looking at their smart phones.Now I know that social media，computers and smart phones are all necessaries(生活必需品) in our lives，but it doesn’t mean that they have to control our days or take over our lives.Amazingly，they all come with a power button.We can turn them off anytime we wish to.Don’t let your smart phone take away your smart mind.Don’t let technology take over your e it when you need it，and turn it off when you don’t.Turn your heart on more and your phone on less.Share your kindness，your joy，your hugs，your laughter and your life that make others smile.【解题导语】手机越来越成为人们生活的必需品。

阅读强化训练(十一)(建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ阅读理解I love fresh, local food that doesn’t travel for days before it gets to me. I’ve turned this interest into healthy baking business that’s expanded and grown in popularity. I discovered a love for baking and cooking when I was 8. Around that time, my mom was found to have a wheat allergy, which means she can’t eat the type of flour(面粉) most people eat.Because she was missing many of her favorite foods, I started experimenting with spelt flour to see if I could make some of the things she was missing. Spelt flour has a different type of protein that is easier to digest, so it’s a great choice for people who are allergic to wheat.Soon I was making many of the meals and all the baked food for my family. I started working with Martin Ruiz, who had a bakery at the market. A few months later, one day I saw a notice saying that a national healthy grocery chain was looking for local vendors(供应商). This opportunity fit my pl ans to provide fresh­baked, snack­sized spelt products for people who can’t eat wheat. I made an application and about a month later the notice came that I had been accepted! Over the next few months, things started moving fast. I had to make decisions on labels, packaging, and which products to market first.Running the business is part of my education now. I’m learning management skills: my dad delivers products since I don’t have a license yet; my mom helps with lots of details, including driving me to my kitchen 20 miles away；my two brothers help me with packaging and dishes.My philosophy(哲学)of healthy eating is：“Go local! Eat freshly. Try new things. And support local business and companies.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

阅读强化训练(十四)[学生用书P154(单独成册)](建议用时：25分钟)Ⅰ 阅读理解It might be easy to imagine that the more crowded a bird flock(群) becomes, the slower the birds fly. But it has been proven that the bigger a bird flock becomes, the faster the birds will fly. The discovery was made by scientists from Sweden ’s Lund University. They took a look at the flying speed of birds in an effort to find what influenced how fast they would fly.Most of the findings didn’t surprise the researchers. A bird’s weight and its wing shape, wind speed and direction, and the purpose of the flight all indeed influenced its flying speed. But the scientists found that the size of the flock had a strong effect on the flying speed, which had notbeen expected. The scientist Anders Hedenstro ¨m expressed surprise at the discovery as it hasusually been ignored in studies on birds.Anders Hedenstro ¨m and his partner Susanne Akesson collected their data on Sweden’s ÖlandIsland. There they studied birds’ physical characteristics(特征), counted flock populations, and recorded their speeds during flying. To know the birds ’ speed while flying, they used a tool that can also gauge important characteristics of wind, including speed and direction. They were able to measure the speed of different kinds of large flocks. The researchers ’ results showed that bigger flocks fly faster no matter what kind of bird species they belong to. Why that’s the case is the next question they hope to answer.The researchers also said that large flocks are made up of larger ­sized birds, which move at faster speed than smaller birds. In a large flock, it is easier to take advantage of the turbulence(湍流) that occurs behind other birds, especially when flying in formation(队形), like geese and other birds do. Using the turbulence makes it easier to maintain higher speed.【解题导语】 原本人们认为鸟群的数目越大，就会飞的越慢，而最新的研究却得出了完全相反的结果。
