A good reader is very much like a driver. He must change his reading speed（速度）to fit what he is reading and what he is reading for, just as a driver does to fit the road situation（状况）.A good reader may read at 1000 WPM（词/每分钟）when he looks for something for a report in the library. But once he finds what he needs, he may slow down to 100 WPM.A good reader may read newspapers and storybooks at 600 WPM. But he may read his science or  maths  books at 150 WPM. Just as a driver has a wide change of driving speed, so a good reader has a wide change of reading speed.

The young man was hungry and cold. He was afraid of dying in such bad weather. He went in a supermarket. It was quite warm in it .He knew he would soon be driven out.
