To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years．Once they were on road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in rest houses．In many places along their journey, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through desert, rainforest, and mountains．Two years, twelve countries, and over 30, 500 km later—Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the top of South America.(Near Guatemala, Brooks had to return to the U.S．and Gregg continued without him.)

Here is some of Gregg’s advice:

Travel light．The fewer things you have, the less you’ll worry about.

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day．In fact, sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language．In a way, it is the language of science．You should not expect to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once．Instead, you may have to read it several times, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences, and finally putting the whole thing together．Do not be discouraged if the whole passage doesn’t make sense to you at first．You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it．

These are the steps to follow when you are reading something difficult:

★ 1．Start to read normally until you run into a sentence that doesn`t make sense to you．

★ 2．When a sentence doesn`t make sense, go back and read it again more slowly．

★ 3．Look for any word you don`t know in the sentence．Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues（上下文线索）．If necessary, look them up in the dictionary．

★ 4．Look at the next few sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on．Do not read much farther ahead until you understand what is being said．

★ 5．Finally, read the sentence again．Try to put it into simpler words．

★ 6．Read through the passage once．Try to understand all the hard parts well．Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed．This helps you to put all ideas together．

The steps sound a lot harder than they are．It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything that is difficult to read．After you have done the best you can this way, you should always feel free to ask your teacher for help.

1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．If you don’t like the passage, don’t be sad.

B．Reading difficult passages helps students to be good readers.

C．You’d better try your best to catch the meaning of the passage.

D Don’t give up if you can’t understand the passage in the beginning.

2．How many steps are given when you are reading something difficult?

A．Four.                           B．Five.                            C．Six.                             D．Seven.

3．What can we know from the passage?

A．We should look up new words before reading.

B．It is sometimes difficult to read a science passage.

C．The steps are helpful in learning spoken English.

D．Interesting stories help readers to improve their English.

4．What is the passage mainly about?

A．Steps of studying science.

B．Difficulties in reading science.

As teenagers, you have many dreams．These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small．You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class．

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrew Matthews tells us that making our dreams real is life`s biggest challenge（挑战）．You may think you`re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer．These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says．

In fact, everyone can make his dream come true．The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is．Don’t let it leave your heart．Keep telling yourself what you want．Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams．You must also never give up your dream．There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams．But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself．You need to decide what is the most important．Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book．

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little．This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

六、任务型阅读

阅读短文，回答短文后的五个问题。

Do you ever feel like you are just rushing from one subject to another? When things happen so fast, maybe you can’t understand clearly what you are doing or learning, so it is important to stop yourself to think about what you have been doing or learning．

Self-reflection(反省)means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind．Some people like to do self-reflection only in their mind．Others keep a diary．What’s more, taking notes is also OK．Each method (方法)works．You can follow the steps to do self-reflection．

First, choose the right time to do it．School textbooks are made up of units of study．This makes it easier to begin self-reflection．Look for time when you finish a unit of study．Sometimes you know it’s the time because there is some kind of test．Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection．

Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary．Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit．

Finally, think about things that you are not sure of．Maybe you learned a new way to work out a maths problem, but you’re not sure when to use it．Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic．

Successful students always know self-reflection is important．If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
