阅读下面的短文，然后以约30词概括短文的要点。
Reading exercises has a great influence on a person. If pictures, still or moving, accompany the reading, the memory will keep half the material for a long time.
Don't believe those who say that bad reading cannot hurt a person. How do they know what will hurt others? Wouldn't you rather believe the experience of the ages that says, "A man is what he has read" and "Our reading and studies carry over into our lives"?
Let's get back to the beneficial effects of thinking while reading. It helps us to enlarge our minds. We understand more about the universe, its people and many of its wonders. We learn to think and observe in new ways. We certainly do get a feeling for the language we are reading. All good writers in any language have been readers who read critically and creatively and continuously.
Finally, reading will and must broaden my sympathies, expand my love for others and set it in action. How can a person who has a bit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and nations have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those people in every way he can and as much as he can?

请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-60的相应位置上.注意：E=AB; F=CD
Here are five letters from readers listed in 56-60. All the greetings and signatures are left out. Suppose you are a secretary of the magazine CR (Crazy English Reader), for each one find a suitable reply from A-F. Mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra reply which you don’t need to use.
1.I am a reader of CR. Recently I found students translate some articles of CR. I appreciate your offering an opportunity to us beginners to ractice using English. So I want to ask how they can obtain these articles and translate them for you, and what qualities you require. Thank you.
2.I love your Crazy English Reader magazine! It provides valuable data for work in our English teaching. My wife and I are teaching Conversational English so I’ve been giving you a bit of a plug at our middle school. I told the students to “get a copy!” It’s good stuff! Fantastic!
3.I’m one of Yao’s fans from Guangzhou. I have read the Yao Ming articles in No. 7 Crazy English Reader. I want to know his correspondence address and the official website. Could you please tell me? Thank you very much indeed.
4.First of all, I must say thank you very much to all the CE Reader editors who give us a really good English magazine. Secondly, I want to give you a piece of advice. In each passage, you give us some new words with their Chinese translation. However, as far as my knowledge is concerned, I think you should give us not only the Chinese meaning but also the English meaning so as to know the words more accurately. Thank you!
5.I am an editor of the English Monthly of our school. I have a question that is how to say the position of the paper e.g., 总编，责任总编 and so on. I hope you can tell me the words in English. The more the better. Thank you so much! I love the book very much. Now, I do this work, and I need to study more information about this work. If you have time, please email me. Thank you.
A. Thank you for your suggestion. We may try that in some future issues of CR. I think the best way to improve your reading vocabulary is to be able to guess the meaning of the word from the other words around it. Also, if you have an English dictionary, it’s good to look up the words and then mark them down in a notebook and review them later on. Then if you really want to learn how to use the words, try using them in conversation or in writing. Hope this helps.
B. The best way for you to learn the different positions in a newspaper or magazine is to get a copy of an all-English magazine or newspaper and then copy down the different positions. There are also titles such as Managing Editor, reporter, Copy Editor, Photo Editor and Layout Editor. I hope this helps. If you have some more specific questions, you can send them to me and I’ll try to answer.
C. The best way to reach Yao directly is through his home team, the Shanghai Sharks. You can write to him at 2570 Xietu Road, Shanghai. For more information on Yao, you can look at the sports section in sina.com. I hope this helps. Another idea is that you can try to write to Yao while he’s living and playing in Houston. You can try to reach Yao in the US at: Yao Ming Compaq Centre 10 Houston, TX 77046.
D. Thank you for being such a careful reader of CR. Yes, you’re right we made a mistake in the writing of that Chinese word. Each issue we try to read very carefully each article and its translation to make sure there are no mistakes, but unfortunately a few mistakes always get by. But you encourage us to keep improving, so thank you.
E. Yes, we do have several students who help us translate some of the articles in our magazine. We contact these translators directly after interviewing their translation work. Afterwards we assign the articles to them for translation. If you are interested in being one of our translators you can send us some information about yourself and a sample of your translation work.
F. Thank you for helping us to promote CR. We’re glad it’s helpful to your students. We always try to include articles that reflect real life. It’s our hope that CR will not only improve students’ English but also open up a different worldview.
