To make his pupils over the period is the purpose of the teacher, in which each printed symbol stands for a certain shape, and tries to get a goal that the pupil reads words and phrases for their meaning, rather than noticing the shapes of the separate letters.When focusing on work, an excellent reader does not look at letters, nor even at words one by one; instead, he looks through the meaning of two, three, or four words at one time, in a short time. To concentrate the eyes of a person who is reading, you will find that they do not go through smoothly along the lines of print, but jump over the parts which they are not interested in. The eyes of a very excellent reader move rapidly, taking long jumps and making very short intervals(停顿): in contrast, an awful reader’s eyes move more slowly, there are only short jumps and he stops longer at each interval. When he confronts a problem, he even chooses to turn back to see again what he has already read before.Therefore, the teacher’s task is clear: training his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one eye-jump) and avoid going backwards to read something one more time.This indicates that, it is wrong to use the finger pointing to the word, reading letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable, or word-by-word, carefully staring at each one in turn. The reason why it is improper is that such a method draws the pupil’s eyes down to a very short jump, and the goal is to train for the long jump. Furthermore, a very short jump is not enough to provide any meaning or sense: and it is true that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again so as to get the meaning of the whole phrase he reads. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true()
A. The eyes of a bad reader understand the meaning of one word at a time.
B. The eyes of a good reader go forward steadily.
C. The eyes of a good reader stop for a little time and jump the parts which don’t interest him.
D. There is almost no jump for the eyes of a bad reader when reading.

Changes have come into museums. They are not places that one "should" go any longer but a place to get pleasure.If you go to a science museum in Canada, when harmless electricity passes through your body you can feel your hair stand on end. At the Children’s Museum in New York, you can strike an African drum. In some other museums in the USA, "Do Not Touch" signs do not exist.It is realized by more and more museum directors that when becoming a part of what they are seeing, people get the best learning effect. Many science museums encourage visitors to touch, listen, operate as well as experiment in order that they can discover scientific rules by themselves.The intention of the change is not only to provide pleasure, but make people feel easy in the scientific world. Suppose you don’t understand science, you will fear it; and when you fear science, you may not make the best use of it.The rise in wealth and spare time is one of the reasons for all these changes. Another reason is the increasing number of young people in the whole population. Among them are mainly college students or college graduates, with a new and totally different way of seeing the world. They want art which they can take part in. It’s also true in science and history.Ancient museums have been changing and the government is encouraging to build new, modern museums. There are more than 6,000 museums in the United States and Canada, which are almost twice as it was 25 years ago. The main idea of this text is to()
A. explain the difference between the old and modern museums
B. introduce changes in modern museums
C. encourage people to go to America
D. show people advantages to go museums
