Nearly all "speed reading" courses have a "pacing" element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minutes he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.
Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p.m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter (if you are reading a novel) or every section or group of ten or twelve pages(if it is a text book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.
You can also try "lightning speed" exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a ’lightning speed’ reading through (probably 600 w. p. m.) you will usually find that you "normal" speed has increased—perhaps by as much as 50—100 w. p. m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will hive to on the day of the big race.
The purpose of the "lightning speed" exercise is to______.
选项
A、increase your speed by scanning the text first
B、test your maximum reading speed
C、help you understand more of the content of the book
D、enable you to win reading races against your friends
答案
A
解析
解答本题关键在于理解文章第三段。答案在倒数第二句话"After a‘lightning speed’ reading through(probably 600 w.p.m.)you will usually find that you“normal”speed has increased(在一次“闪电速度”阅读之后(大概每分钟600字),你通常会发现你的“正常速度”提高了——可能每分钟要提高50-100字。)”中。可见”lightning speed”是通过首先快速浏览文章来提高阅读速度。所以选A。
