Passage 1
As is often the case, reading involves looking at illustrative symbols and expressing mentally the sounds and ideas they represent. Concepts of reading have changed 26 over the centuries. During the 1950's and 1960's especially, increased attention has been devoted to 27 the reading process. Although experts agree that reading ___28 a complex organization of higher mental 29 , they disagree about the exact nature of the process. Some experts, who regard language primarily as a code using symbols to represent sounds, 30 reading as simply the decoding(解码) of symbols into the sounds they stand for .
These authorities 31 that meaning, being concerned with thinking, must be taught independently of the decoding process. Others maintain that reading is unexplainably related to thinking, and that a child who pronounces sounds without 32 their meaning is not truly reading. The reader, 33 some, is not just a person with a theoretical ability to read but one who 34 reads. Many adults, although they have the ability to read, have never read a book in its 35 .By some expert they would not be 36 as readers. Clearly, the philosophy, objectives, methods and materials of reading will depend on the definition one use. By the most 37 and satisfactory definition, reading is the ability to 38 the
sound-symbols code of the language, to interpret meaning for various 39 , at various rates, and at various levels of difficulty, and to do so widely and enthusiastically. 40 reading is the interpretation of ideas through the use of symbols representing sounds and ideas. 26. A. specifically 27. A. understanding 28. A. involves 29. A. opinions 30. A. view 31. A. support

C. By the way Passage 2
Walt Disney created a special phrase for persistence and determination. He referred to it as “sticktoitivity”. The majority of people are so 41 of failure. They don’t know the Japanese have a wonderful way of looking at 42 . Their saying “Fall seven times; stand up eight” is a 43 explanation to sticktoitivity! A good friend of mine has a business that he has 44 on for over five years. He knows that his 45 has the potential that can increase sales ten times. 46 , to do so, he has to probably break the rules that make him 47 where he is today. He 48 gives up his dream, and he is an example of sticktoitivity! Basketball star Michael Jordan 49 sticktoitivity in one of his shoe advertisements: “I’ve missed more than nine thousand shots in my whole 50 . I’ve lost almost three hundred games. Twenty-six times I’ve been trusted
to take the game winning shot but 51 . I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I 52 .”
We know some other examples of 53 people about “sticktoitivity”. For example, Steven spielberg 54 high school in the first year. He was persuaded to come back and 55 in a learning disabled class. He lasted a month and gave up his school 56 because everyone thought he wasn’t able to learn. Who could tell that he would become a most famous director in the US at that time?
Have you ever defined “success” or “failure” on your own terms? I 57 recommend doing so. It certainly helps create a sense of understanding in your life. Sometimes success is learning how to fail. Sometimes success is overcoming the obstacles that 58 failure. Remember, the only failure is not learning 59 from the failure. So it’s 60 for you to stand up on the eighth time! 41. A. fond
