How do you get faster at typing?
The most important technique to learn to type faster is touch typing. This is a technique based on developing muscle memory for your fingers.
How can I learn to type correctly?
Focus on accuracy rather than speed. Use the entire keyboard correctly. Learn some keyboard shortcuts. Practice every day.
How do I increase my typing speed?
Arrange your fingers properly. The most important step to improving your typing speed is ensuring that you place your ten fingers correctly on the keyboard. Rest the index finger (食指) of your left hand on the “F” key and the index finger of your right hand on the “J” key.

Born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners(从业者), 26-year-old Ismail Daurov from Kazakhstan has wanted to follow in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps and become a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) since he was a child.
So when a TCM clinic (诊所) that was jointly built by local and Chinese health workers officially opened about a year ago in Astana, capital of Kazakhstan, Daurov jumped at the opportunity to work there.
“Many Kazakh patients had already looked for other means—even traveling to other countries—to find treatment for their diseases before visiting us, and they were amazed at the immediate results of TCM therapies (疗法) such as acupuncture, cupping and massage, Daurov said.
Li Honggang, a hospital manager from the Xi’an TCM Hospital, working alongside with Daurov, said that because of the country’s cold, windy climate and a traditional diet heavy in beef and lamb, a large number of patients suffer from diseases like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lower back and leg pain. TCM treatments can play a perfect role in treating these diseases.
“Despite the language barrier(障碍),local patients give us a thumbs-up to express their thanks,” Li said. “Moreover, sometimes we ask them how they learned about the clinic, and many of them say through word of mouth.”
“I am deeply moved by the interest of Kazakh people in TCM,” said Daurov. As for the future, Daurov hopes more TCM experts from China will come to share their knowledge and experience with Kazakh people, helping build more TCM clinics and expand their services in Kazakshstan. “I want to be a bridge between TCM and Kazakhstan,” he says. “I want to help my people understand and appreciate this ancient wisdom so that they can live healthier and happier lives.
24. Why did Daurov decide to be a TCM doctor
A. He was inspired by his family. B. He got advantages from it as a patient.
C. He wanted to save money for patients. D. He was trained in it at university.
25. What causes the locals ”diseases according to Li Honggang
A. Heavy work. B. Poor life. C. Eating habits. D. Lack of knowledge.
26. Which word can best describe the TCM clinic in Astana
A. High- priced. B. Tough. C. Low-quality. D. Popular.
27. What is Daurov’s expectation of TCM in Kazakhstan
A. It will become affordable. B. It can be used on animals.
C. It can benefit more people. D. It can replace the local culture.
C
As a student at Howard University in Washington, D. C., Martino Wilkerson had to be at his lifeguard job at 5:15 am, and his bicycle was his key transport. Wilkerson is among 870,000 people who bike to work.
While the data show that only 0. 6% of Americans bike to work, supporters of cycling Say “active transportation” will, in the long run, increase income(收入), save money, and help economic growth,
Studies in Bicycling Means Business show that cycling related activities add nearly $ 140 billion into our national economy, providing 1 million jobs and $ 18 billion in tax revenue.
The effect on individuals can be even greater. A study reports that the average yearly cost of a car is $9,881. Further, its research shows that families that earn less than $ 70, 000 a year spend nearly 20% of their income on transportation. “So if you can change that, or even cut that expense in half, you have just made a more affordable city for yourself to live in,” says Mike Sule, director of Asheville on Bikes.
It’s why D. C.’s decision six years ago to teach all second graders to ride a bike is not only about health and fun but also about the economy. The program is the idea of Miriam Kenyon, director for fitness education. The idea for the program came when she invited a local group to teach bike safety and discovered that a significant percentage of children as old as 10 didn’t know how to ride a bike.
“Children who learn to ride bikes early tend to stick with it through their whole life and become healthier adults. Furthermore, the public health effect is also an economic effect for the society,” says Jenny Liu, professor at the Toulan School. “If we have healthier people who are more active, it obviously drives the costs of health care down.”
28. Why is Martino Wilkerson mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To lead in the topic. B. To tell an interesting story.
C. To express the concern for bikers. D. To show a wrong point.
29. How can riding a bike do good to individuals according to Mike Sule
A. It saves them energy. B. It keeps them healthier.
C. It frees them from traffic jams. D. It cuts down their living cost.
30. What made Kenyon get the idea of teaching second graders to bike
A. A lesson. B. A car accident. C. A lifeguard job. D. A bill.
31. What is Jenny Liu’s attitude towards kids’ riding bikes
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Uncaring.
D
As parents, we want our kids to be persistent(坚持不懈的) and rise to face any challenge. But when your kids are complaining that they hate basketball or saying that they don’t want to take dance anymore, should you force them to continue with the sport or activity
Vanessa Lapointe, a family educator, says that it’s OK for you to allow your kids to stop an activity, if it’s not right after a discouraging practice. “Even as adults, it’s hard for us to stick with something new- especially when we feel unsure, or not good enough,” she says. “It is harder for young children who don’t have life experience to understand how effort is exchanged for outcomes.
That’s not to say that any time your kids don’t feel like doing something, you should let them off the hook. Kids can benefit from being uncomfortable. While they may not be the best at something at once, the confidence that comes from knowing or improving at an activity can be worth it.
“Probably a little gentle encouragement to give it a fair go is suitable,” says Lapointe. She encourages parents to consider the kids’ personality and why the activity isn’t satisfying before giving up.
Sometimes, we should clearly know whose dream it is anyway when pushing the kids to succeed. In the story Parent’s Dream, David Mario’s father put him through endless training in order to make him become a professional soccer player. But later, Mario was unwilling to try anything including soccer. Lapointe says that this often happens when parents put their own unrealized dreams onto their kids.
“Young children do not yet have the ability to understand the exchange of time and effort for an outcome, especially those aged under 10,” says Mary Kickel, a Harvard-trained psychologist. “For them, it really should be about inspiring them to take part in activities that are joy-filled, playful and interesting. Our job is to grow children who are hardy, not hardened.”
32. What does the underlined phrase “off the hook” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Offer help. B. Make a choice. C. Get out of difficulty. D. Face the challenge.
33. What does the story Parent’s Dream show
A. Kids’ success is due to their parents.
B. Parents’ dreams on kids can do harm.
C. Kids should carry on with their parents’ dreams.
D. Kids’ dreams are as important as their parents’.
34. What does Kickel suggest parents do for the under-10s
A. Stay with them. B. Push them hard.
C. Train them to be persistent. D. Let them join in fun activities.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. The Cost of Pushing Children Too Far
B. How Can a Parent Balance Freedom and Work
C. Should You Let Your Kid Stop an Activity
D. A Never- Ending Discussion of Children’s Interests

Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she stormed out of the house. She couldn’t help but cry at the thought of her mother’s scolding. Having wandered in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand for a while, looking at the middle-aged seller who was busy with his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed and had to leave.
The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, do you want to have the noodles ”
“Oh, yes... but I don’t have money on me,” she replied.
“It’s no big deal. I’ll treat you today,” said the seller. “Come in.”
The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, which smelt so attractive. As Jenny was eating, she cried in silence.
“What is it ” asked the seller kindly.
“Nothing, actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless (残忍的) compared to a stranger!”
Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so All I did was to give you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you count the times she cooked for you Have you expressed your gratitude to her ”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered hands. “Why didn’t I think of that A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, but I have never thanked my mom for what she has done for me.”
On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
