When I was seven years old my mom was diagnosed(诊断)with cancer．The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery(手术)．But it could also kill her．She chose to have it．
The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face．The day began with her waking me up saying,“Kate, I have a surprise for you．Come and see．”The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time．Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud．We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car．The day was filled with laughter．For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy．I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age．It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared．
My mother managed to live through the surgery．Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared．I also understand how unselfish a mother is．

Which of the following words best describes the writer's mother?
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．
