If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?

Some people read very rapidly, 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 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 pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

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.

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.

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?

1.D 2.B 3.C 【解析】 1. 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(diǎn)。 2. 3.

As a volunteer teacher, I traveled a long way to a small village school in Longzhou, Guanxi. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, I felt sad when I arrived there. It wasn't what I expected. It didn't look like a school at all! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another one for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me.

The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions, and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level. Though the test was very easy, over half of the students failed it, yet they all wanted to learn new things. I knew they needed me.

I was busy preparing lessons, reading test papers every night. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and we are now good friends.

I have worked in Longzhou for a year now. I’m very happy, and the experience has been very useful for me. I love the small village school and the children. In fact, I would like to continue working here.

During the years of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have disappeared since modern games come out.

Teachers at a primary school asked their students to write articles about games they knew and were shocked by the results. Half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games.

It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar to many of today’s school children, who like to play computer games----especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.

An educationist said, “Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, students have forgotten them. It’s sad.”

The games that many parents once played were generally outdoor activities, enjoyed during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.

Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game played with rubber bands connected together to make a long rope is played in many countries.

Rubber band jumping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. This game can help kids practice their jumping skills, develop coordination(協(xié)調(diào)), and also meet lots of friends.

It is common these days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies.

“When we were young, we played many different outdoor games, but today’s children don’t know what to play or how to play,” a 40-year-old mother said. “If these kids want something, they can get it, but they don’t know what teamwork is.”

Alarmed by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programs to educate children about traditional games.

1.What made teachers greatly surprised is that __________.

A. their students hardly spend their breaks in the classroom

B. many students now know more about online games

C. educationalists are worried about traditional games

D. the students only play hide-and-seek game at home

2.It’s clear that _______.

A. students today like games out of classrooms

B. traditional games are forgotten by students

C. parents pay no attention to outdoor games

D. teachers have no idea about the students’ interests

3.Which traditional game is still played in many countries?

A. Hide-and-seek game.

B. Rubber band jumping

C. Jump rope game.

D. Kicking shuttlecock

4.It’s inspiring that _____.

A. the government has tried to bring traditional games back

B. more and more students have given up modern games

C. the parents help play traditional games with the kids

D. the schools give homework of traditional games

5.The best title of the reading should be ______.

A. Traditional Games Were So Popular

B. Traditional Games Are Missing

C. Modern Games Are Growing Fast

D. Modern Games and the Kids
