  Voices and fingers usually prevent us from reading fast. Young children and even old people learning to read move their fingers along the line of the piece being read, pointing to each word, sometimes even each letter one after another, and saying them to themselves in a low voice. Sometimes the reader makes no sound at all, but keeps moving the inside part of his mouth to pronounce silently. However, no matter how the reader moves his mouth while reading, seen or unseen, visible or invisible, it will be impossible for him to reach a speed of more than about 280 w.p.m.

  Reading must be done by seeing instead of with any sort of sound-producing. The reader  must be able to read more than one word at a time. When looking straight or directly at only one word in a line of reading, one can clearly see at least two other words on both sides in the same line. In other words, the reader can read three words at one glance. Thus looking straight at one word one can at least take in a whole phrase or even a complete short sentence on one line. Very often less than three eye movements will cover a whole line.

1. Pointing to the lines of a reading piece _____ reading.

A. slows down B. speeds up   C. improves   D. helps

2. ____a slow way of reading.

A. Reading aloud is   B. Moving fingers along the lines is

C. Neither A nor B is   D. Both A and B are

3. Taking in _____ at a glance is required in order to read fast.

A. two words  B. two phrases  C. three words  D. three phrases

4. Reading at a speed of about ____ words a minute is still regarded as slow.

A 255B.285 C. 355D. 385

5. Fast reading at an average speed probably requires _____ eye movements for a whole line.

A . oneB. two C. three    D. four

   Can you imagine(想象)what life would be  21 if there were no telephone? You could not call on your friends on the phone and talk to them. If fire broke out in your house, you could not call the fire department (救火队). If somebody were sick ,you couldn't call a doctor.

   In our daily (日常) life we need to talk with each other. We do this  22 by speaking to others and listening to what they have to say to us, and when we are close to them we can do this very easily. But, our voices will not travel very far even when we  23 , and it is thanks to the invention of the telephone that we are able to talk with one another and ask something when we are in different places. We can hear each other as clearly  24 we were in the same room.

   Alexander Graham Bell made this possible. He spent all his spare time experimenting (实验) He worded so hard in his research that he had  25  time to make money (挣钱) and was very poor at one time.
