One Sunday morning, I decided to buy a computer to use for school．I went to the biggest store in town, which sold all kinds of computers．There were so many computers there that I didn’t know how to choose a right one．
“Hi! What can I do for you?” A young man greeted me with a sweet smile．He looked like not a salesman but a student like me．I sensed a strange feeling－as if I had met him before．He began patiently showing me each model．With his help, I decided to buy one computer with enough functions at a very low price．I enjoyed this shopping experience because of his smile．A few months later, something was wrong with my computer．I went back to the store to have it fixed．When I arrived there, what I saw first was still his smile．As soon as I told him my problem, he comforted me immediately and tried his best to solve the problem for me．I was quite grateful to him for his sweet smile and good service．
When I went back to school, his smile often appeared in my mind．I don’t know whether we’ll meet each other again, but his sweet smile will stay there in my memory and deep in my heart．Smiling is the most peaceful language in the daily life．

What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the story?
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．
