to read rapidly.
Perhaps you have been told about some habits 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:
a. Do you move your lips when reading silently?
b. Do you point to those words with your fingers as you read?
c. Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
d. 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, you will know it and stop them moving.
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 in one hand, and hold your head still.
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 more words at each glance when your eyes are traveling across the lines of words.
Even if you do read fairly 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 at each glance. Read in groups and force your eyes
along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will
be able to read faster.
B. not keep your head still
C. not use your finger to point to the words
D. do all of the things mentioned in A, B and C
B. to tell others to be silent
C. to keep yourself from talking to others
D. to hold a piece of paper between them
B. you need look at every word carefully
C. you need to remember every word
D. you need to read several words at a time
B. you can learn to read even faster
C. you can go on reading like that
D. you can enjoy reading

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
