There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company. Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing (投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the share will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down. No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌). All are eager to

Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on. For most of the time this \意识). At times, however, we know it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is happening between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced out questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level. Different people deal with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, translating, criticizing, analyzing (分析), and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers. There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that has not to do with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a \conversation just opposite a \reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. It is not our ability that holds a process conversation. It is just this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.
64．Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _______. A．the reader has trouble understanding what the writer says
