Unit 3 To be a good learner 单元话题任务型阅读 学校:_____姓名：_____班级：_____考号：_____ 一、任务型阅读 The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page. Travelling the world can help us to better understand it. With this idea in mind, I began my journey to Yunnan. When I reached the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I felt the cold air. Even though it was summer, I felt like it was still winter there! The road to the top was so long and the weather was so foggy that it was hard to go on. I had to stop several times to take a small break. Finally, I reached the top with great excitement. Looking around, I could hardly believe my eyes. The mountain was covered in snow and shone like glass in the rising sun. And everything looked wonderful. Looking at the beautiful, natural sights, I felt smaller than an ant. What an amazing feeling! After climbing the snowy mountain, I visited Lijiang, an old city with a history of about 800 years.

Smart virtual assistants, like Siri, listen for requests to report the weather, play a song, set a timer and much more. Some apps can also read text aloud or turn speech into text. These devices aren’t perfect—the apps still make silly mistakes. But they’re getting better and better. So in the future, it’s possible that all of our communication with our devices and each other is spoken. But reading and writing are powerful tools. For one, most people read faster than they speak. A podcaster speaks at around 150 to 160 words each minute, while a strong reader can look through a text at 300 to 400 words each minute. That’s twice as fast! Research has also found that when people read, the ... ...
