第三节：阅读理解
A
After watching my mother deal with our family of five，I can not understand why her answer to the question“What do you do?”is always，“Oh，I’m just a housewife．”JUST a housewife? Anyone who spends most of her time in meal preparation and cleanup，washing and drying clothes，keeping the house clean，leading a scout troop，playing taxi driver to us kids when it is time for school，music lessons or the dentist，doing volunteer work for her favorite charity, and making sure that all our family needs are met is not JUST a housewife．She’s the real Wonder Woman．
Why is it that so many mothers like mine think of themselves as second class or something similar? Where has this notion come from? Have we males made them feel this way? Has our society made“going to work”outside the home seem more important than what a housewife must face each day?
I could be every curious to see what would happen if a housewife went on strike．Dishes would pie up．Food in the house would run out．No meals would appear on the table．There would be no learn clothes when needed．High boots would be required just to make it through the house scattered(散落)with garbage．Walking and bus riding would increase．Those scout troops would have to break up．Charities would suffer．
I doubt if the man of the house would be able to take over．Oh，he might start out with the attitude that he can do just as good a job，but how long would that last? Not 1ong, once he had to come home each night after work to more household duties．There would be no more comin2 nom。to a prepared meal；he’d have to fix it himself．The kids would all be screaming for something to eat，clean clothes and more bus fare money．Once he quieted the kids，he，d have to clean the house，go shopping，make sure that kids got a bath，and fix lunches for the next day .Once the kids were down for the night，he might be able to crawl into all unmade bed and try to read the morning newspaper．
No，I don’t think many males are going to volunteer for the job．I know I don't want it．So ,thanks，mom! I’11 do what I can to create a national holiday for housewives．It could be appropriately called Wonder Woman Day．

Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly, correctly, without thinking. Tennis players call that being in the zone. Educators call it automaticity (自动性).
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and get the meanings of the words. With practice, he speaks with fewer and fewer pauses and mistakes, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about getting the meanings of the words, so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in an Illinois school, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on correctness, comprehension and vocabulary.
It’s not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity, according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will most probably reach automaticity. At home where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.
You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud ― something unfamiliar but suitable to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads hesitatingly (停顿地), one word at a time without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.
