Now more and more people like talking about something that they are interested in. Here is a page from an Internet Forum (论坛). Some people are discussing who is a better singer.
Internet Forum

Writer	Time	Topic: Who’s a better singer, Andy Lau or Jacky Cheung?
Lucy	1-17-2012 2:45 p.m.	Some people say Jacky Cheung is the best Chinese singer. I don’t think so! Andy Lau is the best. I went to his concert last year. It was so hard to believe, I almost cried! OK, I did cry. That’s because Andy Lau is so handsome!
Anita	1-17-2012 4:38 p.m.	I don’t agree at all. Andy Lau sounds like every other singer. His voice is nothing special. However, Jacky Cheung’s is different from others’, and his songs are so romantic!
Tom	1-17-2012 8:55 p.m.	I think they are about the same. But Jacky Cheung is really a better actor. I’ve seen almost all of his movies. Remember the one that he played the lead role of an airplane pilot in, and his plane hit a hill. I love that movie!
Peter	1-18-2012 10:17 a.m.	I also think Jacky Cheung is a better singer, I prefer his Cantonese(粤语) songs. Maybe they sound better because Cantonese is his first language.

Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player of all time. Once he was making a television advertisement, all he needed to do was to miss a shot.

Scientists who study the climate are still arguing about how fast the earth is warming and how much it will warm, but they do agree that the earth is warming and that it will keep warming if we don’t do anything about it.
Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees) . Trees_______carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.
There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. It’s already too late to stop global warming completely.
If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that is disappearing because they can’t move to new homes. There may be more storms and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.
Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (联邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.
Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.

One of the most powerful tools you can use to improve your reading comprehension（理解）is mind mapping（心智图）.It is possible to create maps by simply using a pen and paper.

The first step is to draw a circle or box at the center of the page. Inside your shape write down the main idea that your mind map will focus upon . For example , if you were creating a mind map about the geography of the United States,then you would write down “the geography of the United States” in the middle of your page inside your circle.

Next you draw branches from your central（中心的）idea. Much like a tree grows branches. Simply draw a line moving away from the central theme. In the case of （就……而言）the geography of the United States, you would probably draw 50 lines. Each line represents one of 50 states. These are the main categories（分类）with your primary concept（基本概念）.

Each of lines can then have branches off each . These would represent the main example under each category. For example, under the line titled, “Texas”, you would find lines called Austin, Houston and Dallas. You might draw a series of lines to represent some of its main sections like, “South Dallas” and “Highland Park”.

You continue to draw your mind map much like the structure of branches on a tree. Mind map helps improve your comprehension because they enable you to quickly see relationships（关系）between main ideas, categories, examples and details that might otherwise be missed if you use more traditional note taking strategies（策略）.

The most _______ Tool to Improve Reading Comprehension
