Question

 If you wish to become a better reader,here are four important points to remember about rate (速度）or speed of reading.

1. Knowing why you are reading. What you are reading to find out will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.

2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are the directions for making or doing something,arithmetic problems,science and history books,which are full of information. You must read such things slowly to remember each step and important idea.

3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment,newsletters from friends,items or bits of news from the local paper,telling what is happening to friends and neighbours.

4. In some of your readings,you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly,and slow down and do more careful readings when you come to important ideas which must be remembered.
