Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of point, they make fixations (固定) or pauses (暂停). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group. The numbers of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span (视跨). Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on (取决于) what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid (快速) first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (细致的) study of your school subjects, solving math problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing materials that you already know well.
小题1:The main reason for reading fast is that you can ________.| A．get the ideas | B．save time | C．understand better | D．learn well |
小题2:The way of reading always depends on ________.| A．the method that you like | B．your reading material | | C．your reading purpose | D．both B and C |
小题3:The word “skimming” means “________”.| A．reading the main points | B．reading carefully | | C．reading very fast | D．reading some parts of the material |
小题4:Careful reading is an important kind of reading ________.| A．when you review a lesson that you already know well | | B．when you read the directions before using a camera which is expensive | | C．when you read a story of enjoyment | | D．when you wish to find a lost place that you have read |

“Are you happy?” The simple question usually makes people confused (迷惑的). Even Mo Yan, who won a Nobel Prize, replied to it by saying, “I don’t know.”
When a migrant worker (农民工) was asked, “Are you happy? (Ni Xing Fu Ma?)” by a CCTV reporter, he looked confused before replying, “My family name is Zeng. (Wo Xing Zeng.)” This has become a joke. But his answer showed migrant workers and TV reporters live in different worlds and they cannot even communicate with each other.
Similarly, when asked, “Are you happy?” a 73-year-old man, collecting used plastic bottles in a street in Zhejiang, said, “The bottles can be sold for 0.1 yuan each.” Asked again, he said, “The government is good.” The reporter went on, “My question is ‘Are you happy?’” The old man answered, “My hearing is not good.”
The reporter probably tried to reach the same answer that the interviewees(被采访者) including the migrant worker and the old man are “happy”.
In fact, when the question is asked, we should learn about people’s true situation and their true wishes and opinions but their “Yes” or “No”.
Luckily, the government has paid more attention to the importance. Now there are many TV programs giving common people the chance to give their opinions.
“Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At last year’s National People’s Congress (人大), Wen Jiabao said and agreed that increasing happiness would be a top aim for the 12th five-year plan.
小题1:Ten plastic bottles could be sold for ________ to the 73-year-old.| A．0.1 yuan | B．1 yuan | C．10 yuan | D．20 yuan |
小题2:The government has paid more attention to the importance of ________.| A．learning about people’s true wishes and opinions | | B．people’s different replies to “Are you happy?” | | C．improving migrant workers’ education | | D．keeping the old people’s health |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?| A．The reporters wanted the people to say “Yes” when asked “Are you happy?” | | B．Letting people live more happily is a top aim in the next five years. | | C．The reporter asked the old man three different questions. | | D．We can call the migrant worker Mr. Zeng. |
小题4:This passage is mainly about ________.| A．the questions | B．the happiness | | C．the popular songs | D．the education |
|
