    If you want to become a better reader, what should you know about speed of reading?
    Some people read very rapidly(很快地), while others read very slowly. But which one is
    better?
    The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be
    able to slow down enough to read directions(说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does
    not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.
    The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he
    may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not
    important enough to be remembered.
    So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to
    become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.
    1. Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or
    slowly.
    2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing
    something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or
    remember each important step and understand each important idea.
    3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment,
    letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.
    4. In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as
    you go along. You will need to read certain(某些) pages rapidly and then slow down and do more
    careful reading when you come to important ideas.
    小题1: What should be read rapidly?
    A．Directions for making something.
    B．Maths problems.
    C．Science and history books.
    D．Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.
    小题2:What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading?
    A．To read as fast as you can.B．To fit your reading speed to your needs.
    C．To read as slowly as possible.D．To keep your reading at a certain speed.
    小题3:Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?
    A．Something about Careful ReadingB．Be a Rapid Reader.
    C．How to Read?D．How to Be a Slow Reader?

    小题1:D           
    小题1:B
    小题1:C

    小题1: 根据第八段第二句Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from
    friends and bits of news from hometown papers.可知“看故事书、新闻、私人信件”时可以看
    得快一点。
    小题1:根据最后一段可推知“适合自己需要的阅读速度”是很重要的，故选B。
    小题1:通读全文可知，本文主要说明了怎么阅读，故答案选C。
