If you want to be a better reader,what should you know about the speed(速度)of reading? Some people read very quickly,when others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a story-book for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions(说明书) carefully. The slow reader may be a good reader.
