As an important guest of the 8th Shanghai International Film Festival top Hollywood star Mr．Morgan FREEMAN arrived in Shanghai yesterday morning．Without time even to adjust to the time difference he attended the press conference of the premiere of BATMAN BEGINS．His courtesy, modesty, and humour at the conference greatly impressed the journalists present．
At the press conference the first question Freeman faced was about his "weakness．" Freeman himself once said that he had never played a character in love with a woman, which was a great pity．When asked about this he explained that he had played in stage productions for 20 years before joining the film circle at the age of over 50．This explains why he has had so little love interest in his films．
Since he joined the film world Freeman has been accepted by the audience as a persevering, resourceful, and humourous figure．Though he is regarded as a top star, the number of the films in which he has played leading roles is not big．He has been nominated for an Oscar several times, but has only won once：Best Supporting Actor in MILLION DOLLAR BABY．This caused a lot of disappointment among his fans, but Freeman himself does not consider an Oscar as the only mark of a successful actor．He said that for those attending the Festival in Shanghai it should be not just to win a prize, but also to communicate with others in the film world．
Talking about the Oscar he won for his latest film MILLION DOLLAR BABY, he said that an Oscar is an award of great importance for all actors and actresses, but especially for the younger ones because it can lead to a successful reputation．But he doesn't consider this so important for himself．His own favourite role in his career was in STREET SMART, also nominated for an Oscar．This role was very different to his own personality．It was a pity that this film did not attract much attention．
He likes acting in films, and spares no effort in learning his part．When asked which he liked better, comedy or tragedy, he said he had no special feeling, for he was an 'actor' rather than a 'comedy actor' or 'tragedy actor．' He could not tell which was more difficult, although he did say that to find a feeling for the character is important．He summarised the secret of successfully portraying a character as believing in all good things in life．

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．
