阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A，B，C，D)中，选出最佳选项．

　　Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practising until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practises until he can play quickly, correctly, without thinking. Tennis players call that“being in the zone”. Educators call it“automaticity(自动)”.

　　A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and get the meanings of the words. With practice, he speaks with fewer and fewer pauses and mistakes, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about getting the meanings of the words, so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.

　　It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others, and still outscoring them on correctness, comprehension, and vocabulary. “It's not IQ, but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity.” according to Rossman, any child who spends reading at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will most probably reach automaticity. At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching TV, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favour of reading.

　　You can train your child by giving him one paragraph or two to read aloudsomething unfamiliar but suitable to his age. 1f he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads hesitatingly, one word at a time without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.
