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.

參考譯文
如果想成為更好的閱讀者,你該如何把握閱讀速度呢?
有些人讀書很快,有些人讀書很慢,可哪一種更好呢?
如果讀的是消遣性質(zhì)的小說,快讀可能就不錯。 但快讀者可能速度降不下來,閱讀說明書時也不夠仔細。他可能讀得太快,以至于沒有時間充分理解需要記憶的重要的概念和信息。
閱讀制造物品的說明書時,慢讀可能更好。但慢讀者在閱讀簡單的故事時也可能耗時太多,簡單的故事是用來消遣的,但不夠重要,不值得記憶。
因此,你要明白,快讀者和慢讀者都不是真正的好讀者。如果你想成為更好的閱讀者,這里有4條需要記住的關(guān)于閱讀速度的要點:
1.明確為什么而讀常常有助于了解應(yīng)當快讀,還是慢品。
2.有些東西需要通篇慢讀,比如制作東西或需要動手的說明書、科學(xué)和歷史書籍、數(shù)學(xué)難題等。這些東西你必須慢慢地讀,記住每一個重要步驟,理解每一個關(guān)鍵點。
3.有些東西應(yīng)當通篇瀏覽,比如消遣的故事、朋友的來信、當?shù)貓蠹埖男侣労営崱?/p>
4.有時,你必須一邊讀一邊調(diào)整速度,比如從快變到慢,或從慢變到快。你必須快速瀏覽某些頁碼,碰到重要概念時減緩速度,仔細閱讀。
