"Tom? Are you in bed yet?" called Mrs White．There was no answer．Mrs White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son's room．Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a colourful dragon jumped and shouted．
"Oh, Tom! You're still playing on that computer．You must stop now．It's half past eleven．If you don't go to bed soon, you'll be very tired tomorrow," said Mrs White．
"But I've nearly beaten the dragon," said Tom．Mrs White could see the excitement on her son's face．She sat down beside him．
"You are always playing on that computer．You spend more time with this machine than with your family," she said with a smile．"What's special about it? Show me what it can do!"
"I think this is a great computer, Mum!" he said happily．"The hardware(硬件)is good．There's so much memory and it has some wonderful software programs．This game, 'Dragon Player', is my favourite, but I sometimes borrow games from Daniel and other friends．I don't have to worry about any infected(感染)disks because I have a virus(病毒)detector(探测器)which can go over any disk and check it for viruses．Let me show you!" Tom began tapping．The screen changed in answer to his orders．
"Oh, Tom," laughed Mrs White．"I'm sure it's a wonderful computer, but I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about．"
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 tips，hold your fingers over them，or hold a piece of paper be-tween 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 or 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 secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words as each glance．Read in through groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can to make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will he able to read faster．
