  You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year.You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly.

  Perhaps you have been told about some habits(习惯)which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

  Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.

  (1)Do you move your lips(嘴唇)when reading silently?

  (2)Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

  (3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

  (4)Do you read one word at a time?

  If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit.If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading.Then if your lips move, your will know it and can stop them.

  If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand.Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading.If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand and hold your head still(静止不动的).

  If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in(吸收)more words at each glance(一瞥)as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

  Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster.As you probably have been told, the se of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance.Read in thought groups and force(迫使)your eyes along the lines of words at fast as you can make them go.Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster.

     I'm Miss Bai. I'm now working for the Spring Travel Se, vice (旅行社) in Fuzhou. I just came back from
Taiwan, the biggest island of China. It is to the east of Fujian Province.
     Last week I took a group of English holiday-makers for a week's trip to Taiwan. We traveled all around the
island. I found it is as beautiful as many other places of our country. And there are a lot of places of interest.
My favourite place was the Sun and Moon Lake. You may ask why people call it so. If you fly high up over the
lake and look down around from your plane, you will find the answer yourself. In the middle of this lake,
there's a small island. People call it Pearl(珍珠) Island because it looks like a pearl. On one side of Pearl Island
the lake looks like a sun, and on the other side it looks like a moon. That's why people call the lake the Sun and Moon Lake.
     There are many mountains around this lake. One of the nearest is the Ali Mountain. We stayed there for
three days. We also had a dance party with Gaoshan People. On our first day there we went to the mountain
and watched the sun going down slowly in the west. On our last day we got up early and saw a very beautiful
sunrise. Taiwan is a very beautiful place to visit.

  At present, air pollution may be the greatest problem and people all over the world pay attention to it. The Chinese government has done a lot to deal with it. One of them is to produce electric vehicles(机动车),especially electric cars. China plans to put at least half a million electric cars on the road by 2015.

  Electric cars are hard to sell. Even with the help of the government, there are still many problems. So it isn’t easy to get more people to use electric cars.

Another reason is that we haven’t built enough charging stations(充电站). Sometimes when an electric car uses up its electricity, it can not work at all.
