问答题
As editor of this newspaper, I'd like to introduce to you our requirements. Good grades are prerequisite for working on the paper. There's some money for salaries, depending on how involved you get with the paper, but don't expect to get rich. This isn't something you do for the money. Mostly it is just for fun. Anyone who is interested in joining the staff should speak to me immediately after the meeting. Be prepared to start right away. The first issue goes to press tomorrow．
【正确答案】
【答案解析】[参考译文] 作为该报编辑，我想简要说明一下我们的要求。先决条件是应征者必须成绩优良；报酬高低取决于工作的责任范围，但别指望会因此致富，因为做这份工作本身就不是为了赚钱，而主要是为了兴趣。若有意加入我们的行列，请于会后立即与我联系，而且要做好准备立即开始工作，因为明天就要刊出第一期。
问答题
Many students trying to increase their effective reading speed become discouraged when they find that if they try to race through passages faster, they fail to take what they have read. At the end, they have been so busy "reading faster" that they cannot remember what the passage was about. The problem is that the material they are practicing on is either too difficult for them in vocabulary or content, or not sufficiently interesting. I hope my following lectures will be both interesting and fairly easy, but you should also practice reading as much as you can in your own time.
【正确答案】
【答案解析】[参考译文] 许多学生曾尝试有效地提高阅读速度，但他们发现，一旦较快地阅读一段文章，他们常常不理解所读内容，因此往往感到沮丧。最终，他们因忙于“快速”阅读而无法记住文章内容。问题在于他们阅读的材料要么同汇或内容太难，要么不够有趣。我希望我以后要做的几次讲座，既有趣，又比较容易。不过你们还是应当在课余时间尽可能多地阅读。
