• 2．My challenge for you is this：to read a book for 15 minutes every single day for a month．
     Let me explain a bit，by telling you where the challenge came from．I have many things in common with my dad，like music taste and sense of humor，but sadly reading isn't one of them．I can happily spend a whole day with a book，but my dad can't read a book for longer than about 5 minutes．He reads emails，websites and papers for work，but not books．He's busy，so I think sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading．
     My dad is not the only person who avoids books．I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV．Everyone is different and has their own interests，but I think there are lots of benefits to reading，which screen-based activities don't have．
     Firstly，it's better for your eyes．Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles，and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed，to get a good night's sleep．
     One thing I personally love reading，is being transported to another world-I often forget the time or things around me!Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed，because you think more about the world of the book，rather than the real world，so you can truly relax．I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show，but I think books do it better．
     I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think．Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people!It also teaches you to see things from other people's point of view，and understand other people's decisions or opinions．With a book，you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling-you really can be inside someone else's head!
     So give it a go!Take 15 minutes when you are waking up，going to bed，eating lunch，or having a coffee．If you read a lot，why not try 15 minutes of an English book，or pass the challenge on to someone else？Good luck，and happy reading!

• 3．Robert Lee Frost was one of America's best known and most honored realistic literary figures （文学家）．But his fame came late in his life．
     Born in San Francisco，California in 1874，he lived there during his early childhood．He was named after the chief Southern general，Robert Edward Lee，in America's Civil War，because his father wanted to honor the general．
     Someone once asked another American writer，Ernest Hemingway，how to become a writer．The best thing，he said，was to have an unhappy childhood．If this is true，Robert Frost's childhood was unhappy enough to make him a very good poet．Robert Frost's father was a reporter who wanted to be a politician．He often drank too much wine and became angry．Robert was the victim （受害者） of his anger．
     Robert Frost finished high school in 1891．Then，his grandfather offered to pay his costs at Dartmouth College．But he left the school after a few months．He did not like it．He spent the next few years working at different jobs．At one time，he worked in a factory．Later，he repaired shoes．He was a teacher．He was a reporter．Always，he wrote poetry（诗歌）．
     Robert Frost attended Harvard University for two years．After that，he returned to the many jobs he held before．For a while，he tried to take care of a farm in the state of New Hampshire but failed．Then he continued to write poetry．He said that until 1930，he earned only about ten dollars a year from writing．
     In 1912，he decided to try to make a new start．He took his family to Britain where the cost of living was low．In Britain，Frost found a publisher （出版商） for his first book of poems．The book was called A Boy's Will．When it appeared in 1913，Frost received high praise from British readers．Praise was something he had not received in his own country．
     Ezra Pound，another American poet living in Britain，read the poems and liked them very much．He wrote a magazine article about Frost．He also helped to get Frost's second book of poems published in America．That book was called North of Boston．

• 4．"If you want to see a thing well，reach out and touch it!"
     That may seem a strange thing to say．But touching things can help you to see them better．
     Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round．But by holding it in your hands，you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is．You can feel how heavy the glass is．When you feel all these about the ball，you really see it．With your skin （皮肤），you can feel better．For example，your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket．You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand，too．You can even feel sounds against your skin．Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music？They must like to feel the sounds of music．
     All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means．They hear it often．Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up．In shops，we touch things we might buy：food，clothes．To see something well，we have to touch it．The bottoms of our feet can feel things，too．You know this when you walk on warm sand，cool grass or a hard floor．All feel different under your feet．
     There are ways of learning to see well by feeling．One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin．Feel the shoes on your feet，the clothes on your body，the air on your skin．At first，it is not easy to feel these things．You are too used to them!
     Most museums are just for looking．But today some museums have some things to touch．Their signs say， "Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show．
     If you want to see better，reach out and touch．Then you will really see!
  
  （1）By touching things

  ．
  A．you will have a strange feeling
  B．you will learn how to reach out your hand
  C．you can learn more about them
  D．you can tell what colors they really are
  （2）You can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket with

  
  A．your fingers．
  B．your eyes．
  C．your feet．
  D．your back．
  （3）Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？

  
  A．Touching is helping us to see things better．
  B．We can't feel the things on show in any museum．
  C．Feeling things is a good way for us to learn．
  D．Our skins may help us to feel the sounds of music．
  （4）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？
