The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
"So," Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. "How did this place get its name? ""Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story," warned Jack.
"Of course !" cried out Tom. "If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place !"
"OK, but don't say I didn't warn you," said Jack, and he began his tale.
"Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different--it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice. "
"You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. "The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. "
"Silly fool", said Dennis to himself. "If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!"
"Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly to-wards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants. "
"What happened?"Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
"The land hit back-just as the old man warned, " Jack shrugged. "Dennis disappeared. old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. "
"What a stupid story, "laughed Tom. "Plants can't…… " Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while be-fore Tom could appreciate the joke.
The underlined word "dare" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.
A．courage
B．assistance
C．instruction
D．challenge


8、 根据下面材料，回答题：
There is no doubt that adults, and even highly educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading. Some proceed very slowly throughout; others dash along too quickly and then have to regress. Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at greats peed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it. In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times and pass more quickly over the remainder. A less efcient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly. But this pace may be too fast for early difficult material which requires special concentration at difficult points.
A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading, in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text. This is extremely difficult for most people, since they are accustomed to overlooking such details. In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying comparatively little attention to the general meaning of the text.
The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed__________.
A．among readers who have different experience
B．among all the readers
C．between the poorly educated and the highly educated
D．among the highly educated people
