One day last winter．my dad and 1 were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演)．Finally, there Was only one family in front of us．There were eight children．All were perhaps under the age of 12．You could tell that they didn’t have much money．Their clothes were not expensive but clean．All of them were standing in line, two by two behind their parents．I could feel that the children had never seen the circus before．They were very excited．
The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted． He proudly answered． “Eight children’s tickets and two adults’ tickets so that I can take my family to the circus．” The ticket lady answered the price． The man’s wife looked sad．The father asked again in surprise, “How much did you say?” The ticket lady said the price again． The man didn’t have enough money．
How could he tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money? At that time, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out twenty dollars and dropped(掉)it on the ground (In fact, we were not rich)．
My dad picked up the money and said to the father, “Excuse me, sir． This fell out of your pocket．” The man knew what happened at once． He looked at my dad and took my dad’s hands． He was so thankful that he couldn’t say a word．
My dad and I went back home． We didn’t see the circus, but I would never forget that day．

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．
