    Today, roller-skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago,it wasn't easy at all. Before 1750, no one had
any ideas of roller-skating. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. He liked to make things
and play the violin in his free time. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a
dreamer.
    One day he was invited to a party. He was pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near,
Merlin began to think how to make an amazing entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought everyone
at the party would show much interest if he could skate into the room.
     Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe.
These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party
on wheels while playing the violin.
     On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was very surprised to
see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on.
Suddenly, he ran into a huge minor that was hanging on the wall. The mirror fell down, breaking into pieces.
Merlin's idea was so good that nobody forget his special entrance for a long time. But could he find out a
way to stop his roller skates?

閱讀理解。
        To take good notes, you need to be able to do two things very quickly: first, you must understand main
topic; second, your hand must work as fast as your ears so that you can write down as much information as
possible.
        You don‘t have to learn how to write down what you hear. But you do need to practice a few simple skills
to help you to be good at note-taking. Also, you should learn how to write only the most important words in
short forms from each sentence without taking notice of the rest. 
        In the old days, people sent telegrams to each other. When they did it, they had to pay by the word, and it
was expensive. That is why they sent very short telegrams which included only the most important words.         Let’s compare these two examples:
     ●"I will be arriving tomorrow, Monday, April 15,on TWA flight number 222, at JFK airport."
     ●"Arrive 15th TWA 222 JFK"
         Which would be more expensive? 
         When you take notes, you have a similar problem. In this case it is not money, but time. For that reason,
it is a good idea to practice listening for only the most important sentences, and only the most important words
in those sentences.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成下面各題。
1. To take good notes, first, you must understand main ______.
2. Second, your hand must work as ______ as your ears.
3. Also  you should learn how to write only the important  words  ______ from each sentence.
5. The writer's purpose is ______.

Dear Brad, ?
      In about 3 months, I will take a very important test. If I pass the test with good grades, I can get to the
10th grade and choose a good school to study in. Now I am trying my best to achieve this. At the same time, I'm the monitor in my class, which means I should do lots of things for my class. ① I am so busy with my
school-work and duties as monitor that I don't have enough time to keep a balance between them. Gradually
I become lazy. ② The other day, my head teacher told me that she was disappointed in my poor performance
as class monitor. Her words really discouraged me. ?

choose??
