If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?
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(說明) 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.
【小題1】What should be read rapidly?

A.Directions for making something.
B.Maths problems.
C.Science and history books.
D.Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.
【小題2】What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading?
A.To read as fast as you can.
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.
【小題3】Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
A.Something about Careful Reading
B.Be a Rapid Reader.
C.How to Read?
D.How to Be a Slow Reader?


【小題1】D
【小題2】B
【小題3】C

解析【小題1】根據(jù)第八段第二句Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.可知“看故事書、新聞、私人信件”時可以看得快一點。
【小題2】根據(jù)最后一段可推知“適合自己需要的閱讀速度”是很重要的,故選B。
【小題3】通讀全文可知,本文主要說明了怎么閱讀,故答案選C。
