　　Reading skills are quite important．Experts estimate(估计)that it is possible for any normal adult(成年人)English speaker to read 1,000 words a minute(and more)with special training．Yet most students read only about 300 words per minute．The following principles might be helpful for foreign students who wish to increase their reading skills：

　　1．Always read faster than it is comfortable．The faster your normal rate of reading becomes, the better your understanding will be．

　　2．While reading, do not allow yourself to regress(回头), but keep reading ahead in every sentence, even when you come across a new word．If some word, term or phrase has clouded your understanding, you should reread it only after you have read the entire paragraph through once．

　　3．Read selectively．As you read, make a conscious effort to screen(筛选)nouns, pronouns, and verbs from the other words, since these are the words that meaning to what you have read．In fact you should really read nouns, pronouns, and verbs and merely see the rest of the words in the sentence．

　　Because much of the past learning experience of foreign students may have been for the purposes of passing examinations, they might be inclined(倾向于)to put off studying until late in the term．Such behavior can result in failure in the United States system, where assignments(作业)must be completed on time and done regularly each day．

[　　]
