A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician day, was playing the saxophone on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted(吸引) a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument(乐器). When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band(乐队), he said, “Thats fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything.”Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you wantnot just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, film criticism, military historywhatever interests you as your confidence(信心) grows. You would not be limited(限制) in any way. If you have the vocabularyor at least a good dictionary near at handyou can pick up a book, concentrate(集中注意力) on it, and made sense of the authors words.In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments, armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration(挫折) and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish(完成) several tasks: to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignment with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.71. The talk between the girl and Clifford serves as an introduction to _. A. the importance of reading   B. the connection(关联) between playing instruments and readingC. the necessity of learning to play an instrumentD. the variety of reading materials72. It can be inferred from the story that _.A. Clifford was good at playing the saxophoneB. the authors friend was once a street musicianC. the 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorlyD. Clifford was a good music teacher73. We can infer from the last paragraph that Developing Reading Skills _.A. is directed to elementary school studentsB. centers around vocabulary building skillsC. aims(目的) at helping students read betterD. offers elementary reading skills74. The underlined word “struck” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _.  A. impressed        B. influenced         C. proved       D. awakened(觉醒)75. With good reading skills, you can _.  A. understand anything you read without difficultyB. work out the authors meaning so long as you concentrate on the bookC. understand what you read with the help of a good dictionaryD. concentrate on whatever you read(B)Paris, Jan. 11-An armored car robbery last night ended in a wild gunbattle that left two men dead and a hostage（人质）seriously wounded.The drama began when an armored car carrying the contents of safe deposit boxes to a bank was struck by a large truck, police said.The bank guards were helpless when the robbers jumped out of the truck and tied them up.
