Question

Because of poor childhood reading habits,most people read up to 10  times slower than they actually could. 1       But,by employing certain basic techniques along with some consistent practice,your reading speed and accuracy will increase without taking away from your overall reading comfort.

1. Identify why you're reading.

Before you start reading,you need to seek out your motivation. 2       Think about why you're reading the book in front of you. Is it for fun? A job? School? Your reasoning will help you find the right frame of mind for the task and aid in absorbing the information more efficiently.

2. Narrow down on the important parts.

3          A good speedreader is also smart. Learn to read selectively and change speeds. Think back to your initial reading goals. If you know which topics are essential,don't be afraid to slow down during the important areas to maximize your retention (i己個乙力) . 4       Don't let an unimportant paragraph get the best of you.

3. Use a guide.

Training your eyes to pick up the reading pace and maintain it is the final step. Naturally,the eyes tend to pause or drift from the page―even for a split second―during regular reading. In reading an entire book,the amount of time lost can be significant. 5       The easiest way to control them is with a guide,which can be as simple as your index finger (食指) or a pen.

   A. Another thing to consider is the type of book you are going to read.

   B. In that case,find a book and a quiet place to read.

   C. We can't expect an average reader to become a "speedreader" overnight.

   D. So it's critical to keep the eyes on the page.

   E. Conversely,you should also be ready to skip paragraphs and unnecessary words.

   F. Don't try to read through each page at top speed.

   G. Why you read is essential for deciding how fast to read.

Answer 1

如何有效提高閱讀速度？作者就這一問題提出了三點建議。

1. c考查順承關(guān)系。后文提到"但是我們可以通過應(yīng)用技巧和練習(xí)來提高閱讀速度"，從邏輯上可以推斷，這里的意思是我們不能期望一個尋常的閱讀者在一夜之間成為閱讀高手。

2. G考查遞進關(guān)系。這里突出的是"閱讀目的至關(guān)重要"這一思想，后文也列舉出了閱讀的種種不同的目的。

3. F考查順承關(guān)系。后文提到"好的閱讀者應(yīng)張弛有度"，那作者在這段的開頭自然就要提醒讀者不能以最快速度從頭讀到尾。

4. E考查順承關(guān)系。前文說碰到重要篇幅的時候，要停下來細細看;那后文自然會說碰到不重要的篇幅時該如何。

5. D考查遞進關(guān)系。前文說閱讀時眼睛會經(jīng)常不自覺地移開文本，所以使眼睛留在文本上是很重要的。
