How to Train Yourself to Read More
Between work,a social life,your family,television and the Internet,it can be difficult to find time to read more.Reading is important,however,for a range of reasons:It improves cognitive (认知) ability,enriches vocabulary,helps with spelling and increases general knowledge.Just having an intention to read more won't guarantee you actually do it,though.You need a series of strategies,exploring a way to train yourself to read more.
61.B
You don't need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer.Consider how much free time you have in a day,then set aside part of that time for reading.Make sure this is a feasible (可行的) goal--start small,say,30minutes.Each day,use your timer and read for the amount of time you set.After a week,increase your time.The increase doesn't have to be much,perhaps an additional 15minutes.As weeks go by,continue adding the same small amount to your reading time.Before you know it,you'll be reading for two or three hours per day.
62.A
Before you begin training to read more,take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week.Once you've gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount,increase it slowly.Try to read at least an additional 5-10pages per week.You'll probably be able to sneak these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort.You could,for example,read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if you're alone.Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day.Keep track of how many pages you've read each week so you can see your progress.
63.D
Technology doesn't have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact,you can make use of your electronic devices.Invest in an e-reader,if you can,or use a tablet to read books.This will save you having to carry around a heavy book,and because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet,you'll always have plenty to read.You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.
64.F
Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm,these can quickly disappear if you don't devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself.These rewards don't have to be large or expensive.You could reward yourself with something,such as chocolate or a small gift,each time you hit a reading goal,whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time.Or,if you're feeling charitable (有善心),donate a small sum of money to your favorite cause each time you hit your goal.
65.C
Reading is mainly an individual activity,but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more.Join a local book club,and if your library or town doesn't have one,start your own.Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads,PaperBack Swap or BookLamp,if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts.However,be sure that your reading time isn't eaten up by surfing the Internet.
