30.When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother didn’t use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued (发行). On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn’t tell us why. At 2 o’clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn’t watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio. England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standing behind the counter.

35.Wall Street is the name of a street in New York and very famous in the whole world. It is the financial(金融的)center of the USA, exerting(施加)a significant influence upon the world’s economy. Hetty Green, who was born in 1835, was nicknamed the Wizard (奇才) of Wall Street. She became almost a legendary figure in Wall Street, because she made a lot of money buying and selling shares(份股)in companies. Hetty Green began making money when her father died and she inherited(继承遗产) all his money. By investing wisely, she soon built up her fortune to over 100 million dollars. However, she hated spending money on herself or on her family. Actually, she hated spending money on everything except buying shares. She was so mean that when her son Edward broke his leg, she would not send for a doctor. She did not want to pay a doctor’s bill. She refused to send her son to a good hospital. Instead, she took the boy to a free charity hospital. There he did not get very good treatment and, to save his life, he had to have his leg cut off. Still his mother would not pay for proper hospital treatment. She sent for a doctor who cut off the boy’s leg in her living room. It’s incredible(难以置信的), isn’t it?

40.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, inter-office communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In _##_ a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are _##_ readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main problem _##_ in the actual stuff of language itself-words. Taken individually, words have little meaning until they are strung(连成) together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. _##_, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often regressing(倒退) to reread words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which _##_ down the speed of reading is vocalization-sounding(用言语表达) each word either orally or mentally as one reads.
