So much to do, so little time.So much information, so little time to read .In this age there is more information than ever before.There is not enough time to read everything we want to read.However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading.This article will not make you read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly.You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading.

When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out.Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud.The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head.Most people tend to read this way.Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大的).

How do you calculate your reading speed? The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read.Get some reading material, preferably a book.Find out how many words are on the page.Time yourself one minute.Start your timer and start reading.When the timer sounds, stop at once.If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute.

The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it.Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance.Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed.This is the first and most important step in speed-reading.

The next step is technique.As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique.You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk.Next, should be able to see the entire page.This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words.Lastly, you should be focused.It's hard to read a lot of noise.Find a quiet place to read.This will help your understand of the text.You need something to guide your eyes while reading.Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger.That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line.Move your finger smoothly across page.No need to go rush , start our slow.Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide.This will increase you speed.

The third step is practice.Practice makes perfect.Set time intervals(间歇).Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you're reading.

Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

       A.Now there is limited information than ever before.

     B.Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information.

     C.Now people can read what they like.

     D.The less you read, the more time you will spend.

What is the subject discussed in the text?

       A.What speed-reading is.                                                                              

  B.Why we need speed-reading.

     C.Now it is much information time.

       D.People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways.

Which of the following shows the right way for the speed-reading from the text?

       a.Ask for some techniques.

     b.Look at many words and recognize them.

     c.Practice more.

       A.c,a,b          B.c,b,a       C.b,a,c       D.a,c,b

    An ichthyologist is a scientist who studies fish. Most people who do this job say they love their work because it is very rewarding and varied. They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in the field. Fieldwork includes traveling to rivers, oceans and lakes in order to collect information and specimens(样本), Reading, writing and speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to read the research of other scientists. They must he able to write up their own research clearly so that others can follow it. They also need to be able to give lectures about their findings, so that they can spread knowledge.

      Ichthyologists who wish to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is aquaculture  (水产养殖). This involves the study and practice of fish farming and management. Because it is a rather new study, there are very few job opportunities available. However, as there is so much to discover, many see it as an exciting area for a new ichthyologist to enter. The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a team of scientists to find out more about different fish species. The third area is about the protection of natural fish populations. This is very important today, given that many fish species are in danger of dying out because of the actions of humans.

     To become a successful fish scientist, you need to have a curious mind and be able to work on your own. You also need to be able to handle equipment and perform experiments; but most importantly, you must love fish. To become an ichthyologist, you will need to train at a university to pass a Bachelor of Science degree. For this, you will need to be good at mathematics, physical science and biology. Then, you will need to study for another year to complete an honours degree in ichthyology. This honours degree contains coursework about all aspects of fish. You also need to complete a research paper.

68. What makes the jobs of ichthyologists so varied?

   A. They study fish habits and collect information.

  The holiday shopping season is once again upon us.The super malls and smaller shopping centers will all be packed as hurried Americans search for the perfect gift.The crooks and thieves that prey upon innocent shoppers are well aware of this fact.

  Even if you don’t involve yourself with holiday gift buying,you could end up a victim of theft.Thieves do not distinguish the holiday shopper from the everyday shopper.Thieves only know that there are more potential targets of opportunity at this time of year.

  They also know that many people are complacent (不以为然的) about personal safety issues year round.They’ll factor in the belief that many people take on added stress this time of year while running from store to store with so much to do and so little time to do it.Shoppers who might normally consider personal safety an afterthought push it back even further as they try to negotiate their way through the month of December.College students are not an exception to the rule!

  As a member of our university community,you’re also easily influenced by the dangers of mall shopping this time of year.Take a minute and picture any of the local area malls.Close your eyes and think about the overflowing parking lots and the crowds moving around.The sights,sounds and distractions all can lull you into a state of personal safety complacency.

  Aside from the shoplifters who steal merchandise from store shelves are the thieves who perpetrate (犯) snatch and grab crimes.And this is the sort of crime that you’re most vulnerable to,especially when you find yourself carrying a large number of shopping bags and packages.However,as is the case with most other types of criminal behavior,there are a number of crime prevention measures you can take to lessen or stop your chances of becoming a victim.So take the time to read and then put into practice the following holiday shopping tips.

1.The author is most probably     .

  A.a newspaper reporter

  B.a novelist

Though I was young, your words kept      in my ears. I watched as you faced the      of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a      and a Mom of five kids.

He met her at a party. She was outstanding; many guys were   36   her, but nobody paid any attention to him. After the party, he invited her for coffee. She was surprised. In order not to appear   37  , she went along.

  As they sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too   38   to say anything and she felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, he asked the waiter, "Could you please give me some   39  ? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

  They stared at him. He turned   40  , but when the salt came, he put it in his coffee and drank.   41  , she asked, "Why salt with coffee?" He explained, "When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing on the sea ... I could feel its taste salty, like salty coffee. Now   42   I drink it, I think of my childhood and my hometown. I   43   it and my parents, who are still there."

  She was deeply touched. A man who can admit that he's homesick must love his home and   44   his family. He must be responsible.

  She talked too, about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was the start to their love story.

  They continued to   45  . She found that he met all her   46  . He was tolerant, kind, warm and careful. She would have missed the catch if not for the salty coffee!

  So they   47   and lived happily together. And every time she made   48   for him, she put in some salt, the way he liked it.

  After 40 years, he passed away and left her a letter which said:

  My dearest, please   49   my life-long lie. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous I asked for salt instead of   50  .

  It was hard for me to ask for a   51  , so I just went ahead. Many times, I tried to tell you the truth, but I was afraid that it would   52   everything.

Sweetheart, I don't exactly like salty coffee. But as it   53   so much to you, I've learnt to enjoy it. Having you   54   me was my greatest happiness. If I could live a second time, I hope we can be together again,   55   it means that I have to drink salty coffee for the rest of my life.
