Question

【题目】 If you are reading this article in class, you are probably trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim and scan, to ______ key words so as to understand the main idea of the article and the important points in the article. Skimming and scanning is a good method when you are pressed for time, such as when you are taking an exam, but, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have ______ the ability to enjoy reading.

In response to this, something called the “slow reading movement” has become popular. The idea is that people should ______ their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy reading a good book — slowly! In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a café, not to discuss books, but to sit quietly with each other, drink coffee and just read.

Reading, of course, isn’t easy. You have to sit still, for one thing. And it can seem ______when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has been along-lasting ______ in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I’ve enjoyedthe company of pirates and heroes, of evil criminals and clever detectives, of thousands of interestingpeople I would have never met in real life. Reading provided me with escape, but it also ______ meto understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.
