填空题
If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate and speed of reading:
1. Knowing why you are reading and what you are reading to find out 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, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown paper telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.
4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
