In many cases, the teacher doesn’t suggest that the whole book should be read. In fact, he may just refer to a few pages which have a direct bearing on the matter being discussed. Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book to read they tend to have no particular purpose in mind other than simply to \and start reading, page by page, line by line, word by word; in other words, slowly and in great detail. The result is that students frequently don’t have an overall view of what they are reading; also, they tend to forget fairly soon what they`ve been reading. Students can make their reading much more effective by adopting a strategy aimed at helping them to understand and to remember what they read. Firstly, they should decide precisely why they`re reading the book: perhaps it`s to find some information that`ll answer a question; perhaps it`s to understand a difficult idea or argument, and so on. Then the students should decide exactly what they are going to read; it`s seldom necessary to read the whole
book. A good starting point is the contents page, the chapter headings, and even the index (索引) at the back of the book. They are very useful in helping to pinpoint the exact pages that need to be read carefully for particular pieces of information. 71. According to the passage, it is rare for a teacher______.

Besides its persuasive powers, eye contact helps hold listeners’ interest. A successful speaker must maintain eye contact with an audience. To have good relation with listeners, a speaker should maintain direct eye contact for at least 75 percent of the time. Some speakers focus only on their notes. Others look over the heads of their listeners. Both are likely to lose audience’s interest and respect. People who maintain eye contact while speaking, whether from a podium or from across the table, are regarded not only as exceptionally friendly by their targets but also as more believable and earnest. To show the power of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passers-by behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel uncomfortable and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone. Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor (观察) his listeners. It is, in fact, essential to analyze an audience during a speech. Visual feedback (视觉反馈) from the audience can indicate that a speech is boring, that the speaker is talking too much about a particular point, or that a particular point requires further explanation. As we have
pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered.
76. What does the writer believe about a speaker’s eye contact? A. It makes the speaker closer to his audience.
B. It makes the audience lose the interest in his speech C. It makes the audience frightened of him.
D. It makes listeners see the speaker more clearly.
77. What does the word “targets” (Line 7, Para.1) refer to? A. Speakers B. Listeners C. Friends D. Objects
78. Why does the writer give the example of passers-by in Paragraph 2? A. To show that people are not comfortable with eye contact from strangers. B. To show that strangers can get to know each other easily through eye contact. C. To prove the point that people look more friendly with direct eye contact. D. To prove the point that eye contact plays a role in social communication. 79. What does the writer imply about visual feedback in the last paragraph? A. It can make the speaker adjust his speech. B. It can make the speech more informative. C. It may discourage and stop the speaker.
D. It may cause the speaker make less eye contact. 80. What is the main point of the passage?
A. Eye contact is a good way to leave a deep impression on listeners B. It is necessary to maintain direct eye contact with the audience. C. Eye contact is important to a successful speech.
