最近好多學生在詢問俐媽針對練習英文閱讀測驗的工具書，這是我在課堂上推薦的首選：Six-Way Paragraphs
它有分3個level: Introductory/ Middle/ Advanced，均適合高中生使用。
每本書有100篇閱測，每一篇閱測都練6種題型：
1️⃣ Main Idea: 學生要分辨該敘述是too broad或too narrow，或真的to the point
2️⃣ Subject Matter
3️⃣ Supporting Details
4️⃣ Conclusions
5️⃣ Clarifying Devices
6️⃣ Vocabulary in Context

英模班已發兩本閱測書共60篇閱測可練習，如果還想有extra supplements，可以考慮Six-Way Paragraphs 👌🏼👌🏼

Casa Mila, Barcelona, Spain 西班牙‧巴塞隆納‧米拉之家
#喜歡請幫忙分享ShareIfYouLikeMyStory
工業革命後新貴族階級的富豪們如雨後春筍般出現。富豪佩雷·米拉先生因為非常欣賞高第為巴提爾先生所建造的巴提爾之家(註: 西文中的雙L音發「一」的音，所以這裡不採用巴特婁的音譯)，請高第為他和富孀 Roser Segimon 結婚而設計了新的公寓。
After the Industrial Revolution, rich industrial businessmen, the new "noble class", emerged all over in Europe. The building was commissioned in 1906 by businessman Pere Milà i Camps and his wife Roser Segimon i Artells.
如同艾菲爾鐵塔一般，高第的現代主義建築設計在當時是極具爭議的，因為他的建築風格中帶著歪曲的門面以及象徵意義強烈的抽象雕塑。Controvertial as the Eiffel Tower, people had mixed feelings about Antoni Gaudi's architecture designs due to the twisted facades and symbolic abstract statues.
事實上，這也就是英文裡gaudy(低俗醜陋的意思)一字的由來。據說gaudy就是Gaudi的變形。可見當時上流社會對於高第的兩極評價。
In fact, that is how the term gaudy came around. It is said gaudy is a corrupted form of Gaudi. So, we could infer how extreme Gaudi's reputation was among the upper class at that time.

In no-limit, it is much more common for behavioral deception to take place, because each individual decision is so important. It is much more common in no-limit to see actions mean the opposite of what a superficial interpretation of the situation would indicate. A complete novice to poker (and to deception) might infer that a quick bet means strength and a bet that takes a long time means weakness or indecision. But in no-limit, where there is more value to deception, mediocre players are more prone to bet rather quickly when bluffing and to take a longer time when value betting. Good players, on the other hand, will disguise their hand strength by balancing the length of time it takes them to act.
