Some people read very rapidly (很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is better?
The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to
slow down enough to read directions (说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to
understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.
The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may
spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to
be remembered.
So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a
better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.
1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.
2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something,
science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each
important step and understand each important idea.
3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters
from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.
4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go
along. You will need to read certain (某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading
when you come to important ideas.
B. Maths problems.
C. Science and history books.
D. Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.
B. To fit your reading speed to your needs.
C. To read as slowly as possible.
D. To keep your reading at a certain speed.
B. Be a Rapid Reader.
C. How to Read?
D. How to Be a Slow Reader?

part of your hand. Afterwards, you should say, "Excuse me." This is a rule I set for my students.
It is so simple, but many kinds have never been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults cough and sneeze
in public without putting a hand over the mouth. I hate traveling by subway (地铁) in New York during cold
and flu season, because it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on
my neck.
One important thing I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should
wash their hands as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be passing those germs (病菌) along to everything
and everyone they touch.
In order to help the kids remember this rule, I tell them about an old story. It says that when you sneeze,
evil spirits jump into your body. If you don"t cover your mouth, the spirits will enter, but if you cover your
mouth, you will keep them out, We say "God bless you" when someone sneezes, and in Germany you should
say "Gesundheit". That means "Good health to you." Both expressions are said just in case you didn"t cover
your mouth in time and the spirits were able to enter your body. The kids love finding out the origins (起源)
of these expressions and it encourage them to put the advice to use more often.

C. a doctor
D. an officer
