Reading is the key to school success, and like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking.
Educators (教育家) call it "automaticity (自动性)”．
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With more and more practice, he stumbles less and less. As a result, he can read by the phrases and soon by sentences. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about the meaning of words, so that he can give all his 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 that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 t0 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.

It is very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework,      31_ newspapers, watch TV and search on the Internet to learn something new. I often see 32   do Taijiquan in the morning and dance in the evening. She looks young and beautiful     33    she is over seventy. Last week a reporter from a magazine interviewed her and asked      34    she kept so young and healthy. She replied with a smile:
I have a secret of staying young and healthy. It is quite  35  . Keep your mind active, take an interest in the world  36  you., and learn at least one new thing every day. Try to do different kinds of housework and do sports as   37   as you can. Don’t think you are too old to go back to   38  . I know a man who entered a medical college when he was 70 years old. He studied there for 6 years and now he is a doctor. Another man went to a tennis school at the age of 72 and now he is good at  39  tennis. Some people may say staying young is easy only for those who live in the future. In fact, no matter how old you are, you can make it.
