A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion (feeling) and seldom (not often) gets excited. It is difficult to get to k

21、now a reserved person. He never tells you anything about himself, and you may work with him for years without knowing where he lives, how many children he has, and what his interests are. English people prefer to be like that. If they are making a journey by bus, they will do their best to find an e

22、mpty seat, if by train, an empty compartment. If they have to share the compartment with a stranger, they may travel miles without starting a conversation. If a conversation does start, personal questions like “How old are you?” or even “What is your name?” are not easily asked, and it is quite poss

23、ible for two people to know each other casually (偶然地) for years without even knowing each others name. Questions like “Where did you buy your watch?” or “What is your salary?” are almost impossible. Similarly, conversation in Britain is in general much more quiet and restrained(拘束的) than, say, in Af

28、do not like reserved people.(C)If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading-what you are trying to find out-will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read

29、slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly

30、 throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, letters from friends, items, or bits of news from the local paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You n

31、eed to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.51According to the passage, your reading speed depends on _.Awhether the reading material is interesting or not Bwhat you are reading and the time you can offerCwhat your purpose in reading something isDwhether the information concerns the hometown52If one wants to be relaxed by reading, one should take
