Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the line of print, they make fixations (固定) or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (精深的) study of your school subjects, solving Maths problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. you may also do rapid reading when reviewing material that you already know well.

   The little girl is now 14 months old and should weigh at least 20 pounds. Yet she is still the size of a newborn baby, only reaching just over 7 pounds and a mere 19 inches.

Suraya has been examined by a whole team of experts in different fields. But doctors still have no idea why she refuses to grow, describing her condition as a “real mystery”. Experts have carried out all kinds of tests on her to find out what could be wrong with her. However, so far these have brought no optimistic results.

Her mother described that her daughter was like a real-life baby doll. “She cannot sit, talk or crawl and she has to be fed through a tube to keep her alive. But she just hasn’t been putting on any weight,” she said. “It’s very difficult because we don’t know what the future holds for Suraya. We hope the doctors will soon be able to find out the reason and that she will be able to live a normal life.”

Suraya was born four weeks earlier weighing 2.6 pounds. Experts say nine out of ten babies born at this stage will immediately start growing and put on weight. In Suraya’s case, she stayed at her birth weight for the first eight months and has only put on a small amount over the past six months.

Suraya has now been taken to London’s famous Great Ormond Street Hospital for further tests. Dr. Jide Menakaya said, “She is a very interesting little baby. Her case is highly unusual. For 17 years, I have certainly never seen anything like this. The fact that she still did not grow after we put the feeding tube directly into her veins (静脉) was unexpected and surprised us greatly. This is incredibly rare (罕见的). Now we are working on a new theory, but more research needs to be carried out.”

【小题1】What’s the matter with Suraya?
A.She caught a kind of common illness.B.She was born 14 weeks earlier.
C.She isn’t getting any bigger.D.There’s something wrong with her brain.
【小题2】What’s the doctors’ attitude to Suraya’s case?
A.Excited and optimistic.B.Surprised and puzzled.
C.Interested but helpless.D.Puzzled and hopeless.
【小题3】What can we know about Suraya from the passage?
A.Suraya’s mother is worried about Suraya’s future.
B.Suraya is lovelier than other girls.
C.Suraya can’t recover from the illness.
D.Doctors have to try their best to help Suraya.
【小题4】It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A.it’s certain that Suraya could never live long
B.doctors have made great progress in Suraya’s illness
C.Suraya will be able to live a normal life in the future
D.it’s hard to predict what will happen to Suraya
