Understanding Graphics(圖表)

When we are reading, we often see one or two graphics in a text. Have you ever thought about these questions: Why are they there? What information do they give? Do they help with our reading and understanding?

Graphics are things like pictures, maps, charts and tables. They give information to readers. Very often, we can see different kinds of graphics in books, magazines and newspapers. Writers use graphics to get the readers'attention and give them some particular(特別的)information. Graphics help to understand the given information in a text. And graphics put the information in a particular order so that it's easy to understand when we take a quick look.

It is not always true that a picture is worth a thousand words. But many things are easier to show than to tell and they may also be easier to understand. Graphics are just the right things that give a great deal of information but it doesn’t take much time to read and understand.

The right way to read and understand a graphic is to look at the picture and the words together. In a graphic, only a few words are used to explain what the picture shows you. Sometimes, numbers and percentages(百分比) are also given to go with the words to explain things.

Now look at the graphic on the right. It is how a researcher used a graphic to show the number of hours spent sleeping by British teenagers each day. Can you understand it?

1.Which of the following is mentioned as a graphic?

A. A letter.

B. A poem.

C. A map.

D. A name card.

2.The writer thinks graphics are important because ____________.

A. less space is taken on a page

B. a picture is worth a thousand words

C. a lot of time can be saved for writers

D. many things are easier to show than to tell

3.When we read a graphic, we should ______.

A. find out if there are any tables in it

B. put the information in the right order

C. count how many words there are in it

D. look at the picture and the words together

4.The graphic given in the passage tells us that ________.

A. 5 British teenagers sleep for 8-9 hours every day

B. Chinese 18-year-olds spend 5-6 hours sleeping every day

C. 17% of the British teenagers sleep for 3-4 hours each day

閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)文中信息完成一張海報(bào)。每空限填三詞

Doing "Clean "Exercise

When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find litter all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop and pick it up? If you choose the second, you're part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging.

The word “l(fā)ogging” is the Swedish phrase“ plocka upp”( pick up) and the English word ”Jogging”(running slowly)put together.

What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect your hands. While collecting rubbish, loggers learn to classify (分類)and deal with it correctly, too.

Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise, For example, a 30-minute logging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burned from just jogging.

So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some litter along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you.

Let’s go1.!
