and for many others, specifically students, it's the only way to get through reading-heavy class loads The practiced speed reader can pick up a lengthy document or a thick stack of paper and use their skill to get the meat of their subject by skimming for the most important details and information Without developing the ability to speed read, this time-saving technique is merely flipping through pages fast Speed reading, or increasing the rate at which you read text, is linked to increasing the rate at which you understand what you’re reading The key to successful speed reading is increasing your understanding of the text as you increase the rate at which you read the words This natural step takes training and practice, but don’t be intimidated by the idea of a challenge Once you've mastered it, it's a skill that will stick with you for the rest of your life With continued practice, common words and sentence structures became more familiar and because your brain was tuned and ready, your eyes started taking in blocks of words at a time The difference between average readers and speed readers is in the blocks of words their eyes take in at one time The larger the blocks, the faster your eyes move through the text Speed reading teaches you how to take your reading and your comprehension to the next level The techniques used in teaching speed reading focus on your individual abilities, namely where you are right now and what might be keeping you from progressing For example, if you are a slow reader, factors that hold you back may include, but are not limited to, moving your lips or reading out loud or holding the text too close to your eyes If you are in the practice of moving your lips, or speaking or whispering while you read, you're slowing yourself down dramatically Your lips can only move so fast You should be able to read at least two or three times faster than you can speak In effect, you’re keeping yourself at that word-by-word stage that children generally grow out of in elementary school Trang – Mã đề 194 Prepared by: Minh Hiếu – THPT Ngọc Hồi – Hà Nội – Email: hieuduahau@gmail.com Having the ability to speed read can make a significant difference in your life, especially if reading is a strong component of your work Implementing some simple techniques can get you reading faster and more efficiently in no lime at all Adapted from Understanding Speed Reading by Brandon C.Hall Question 45: What does the passage mainly discuss?

How deaf children learn to communicate? Recently, doctors have learned that deaf babies babble with their hands Laura Ann Petitto, a psychologist, observed three hearing infants with English-speaking parents and two deaf infants with deaf parents using American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate Dr Petitto studied the babies three times: at 10, 12, and 14 months During this time, children really begin to develop their language skills After watching and videotaping the children for several hundred hours, the psychologist and her assistants made many important observations For example, they saw that the hearing children made varied motions with their hands However, there appeared to be no pattern to these motions The deaf babies also made different movements with their hands, but these movements were more consistent and deliberate The deaf babies seemed to make the same hand movements over and over again During the four-month period, the deaf babies' hand motions started to resemble some basic hand-shapes used in ASL The children also seemed to prefer certain hand-shapes Hearing infants start first with simple syllable babbling, then put more syllables together to sound like real sentences and questions Apparently, deaf babies follow this same pattern, too First, they repeat simple hand-shapes Next, they form some simple hand signs and use these movements together to resemble ASL sentences Linguists believe that our ability for language is innate In other words, humans are born with the capacity for language: It does not matter if we are physically able to speak or not Language can be expressed in different ways - for instance, by speech or by sign Dr Petitto believes this theory and wants to prove it She plans to study hearing children who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent She wants to see what happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both sign language and speech Does the human brain prefer speech? Some of these studies of hearing babies who have one deaf parent and one hearing parent show that the babies babble equally with their hands and their voices They also produce their Trang – Mã đề 194 Prepared by: Minh Hiếu – THPT Ngọc Hồi – Hà Nội – Email: hieuduahau@gmail.com first words, both spoken and signed, at about the same time More studies in the future may prove that the sign system of the deaf is the physical equivalent of speech Adapted from “Issues for Today” by Lorraine C Smith and Nancy Nici Mare Question 55: According to paragraph 1, babies begin to babble A at their first moment after birth B at their first experience of language C when they are more than months old D when they first hear their parents talk to them Question 56: The phrase “the babies” in paragraph refers to in the study A the hearing infants B the deaf infants C the hearing and deaf infants D the disabled infants Question 57: The writer mentions “American Sign Language (ASL)” in paragraph as a language A used by the deaf to communicate B especially formed by infants C used among psychologists D widely used by American children Question 58: The word “resemble” in paragraph refers to A making initial movements B studying funny movements C creating strange movements D producing similar movements Question 59: It is stated in paragraph that both the deaf and the hearing children made movements with their hands, but A only the hearing children made different movements B the deaf children made less consistent hand movements C the hearing children only repeated the same hand motions D only the deaf children repeated the same hand motions Question 60: According to paragraph 4, hearing infants learn to talk first by A hand-shapes B babbling C hand motions D eye movements Question 61: The word “real” in paragraph mostly means A meaningful B formal C general D original Question 62: It is mentioned in the last paragraph that Dr Petitto plans to study A what happens when babies have the opportunity to learn both speech and sign language B whether all children speak and make motions with their hands at the same time C the assumption that the human brain prefers sign language to speech D whether the sign system of the deaf is the physical equivalent of speech Question 63: Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
