By the way,a simple method of improving Listening is BBC radio : BBC iPlayer - Listen live - BBC World Service
Note: British radio's lectures are much more difficult than that of TOEFL.Speed is the main issue

Hi, my teacher told me about that site. It is useful because the speed of speech is quite low in order to help the listener. Here: Special English | Learning English

For reading practices I recommend reading passages of "Cambridge Preparation To TOEFL". I have gone through at least 5 whole preparation books for my iBT TOEFL and after taking the test I was really amazed how similar the passages were to Cambridge's model tests.
