If you wish to become a better reader, here are four points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading.
Knowing why you are reading-what you are reading to find out-will often help you know whether to read q 11 or slowly.
Some things should be read slowly, such a 12 instructions for making or doing something, maths p 13 , science and history books. They are full of important i 14 . You must read such things slowly to r 15 each important step and understand each important idea.
Some things should be read quickly, such as simple stories, l 16 from friends, and n 17 from local newspaper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbours. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to s 18 , as you go along. You need to read some pages quickly and then slow down and do more c 19 readings when you come to i 20 ideas.

Reading books is f 21 . You can always keep yourself happy if you like reading. This is especially useful when the weather is bad. It is a relaxing hobby too. You can really become l 22 in a book.
Next, you can read a book a 23 : in a car, in a waiting room, on the plane, in bed—even in the bath. All you need is a book! Reading is a convenient hobby as it is easy to stop and then to s 24 again.

Many school subjects depend on good reading. And as you read, you learn more and more. Some people say that reading is out of date. This is not true. You have to be able to read to use a computer and, the more you read, the better your computer skills will be. Reading is h 28 out of date!
Good r 29 are most likely to be good writers too. They are usually good at spelling as well, and have more things to write about. Reading books is a wonderful hobby, one of the best. What other hobbies could be more useful, or more e 30 !

Wonder, by United States writer R. J. Palacio, is a powerful story of transformation (改变). It tells the story of a special boy, August Pullman, who was b 51 with a serious facial difference. And up till now, it has p 52 him from going to a mainstream school.
When he first started school at 10, everyone made fun of him. August wanted n 53 more than to be treated as a kid like others—but his new classmates can’t get past his strange face. Students often bully (欺负) him for not looking normal (正常的). H 54 , he makes true friends there and even wins an award at his graduation ceremony. August is a hero for the ages, one who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out.
This book has t 55 my heart. It’s not a fairy tale—life isn’t one. I 56 , the story is very realistic, as it shows what could I really happen in middle school. What’s more, it’s told from different points of view (视角). Wonder begins from August’s point of view, but soon switches to (切换到) others’, i 57 his classmates’, his sister’s and so on. This o 58 readers a chance to understand different characters’ feelings and thoughts.
I think we can all relate to August. In one way or another, we are all just like him. We each have our own d 59 , but we shouldn’t try to change ourselves to fit in. We all experience ups and downs, but like August, we’ve got the c 60 back and won. Despite all the brutality (残忍) in the world, there’s always a reason to smile.

So, parents should help to get t 69 children to read as early as possible. Studies have s 70 that reading to your unborn child is very good. In this way, your child will like reading later.

Reading is fun. Many people have a good h 91 of reading. There are h 92 of skills to help you read much in a short time.
Here are two s 93 that I think are especially good.
Preview (预览)—if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially u 94 for getting the main idea of heavy reading like long articles and reports.
Here’s how to preview.
●Read the f 95 two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you e 96 . It stops you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim (略读)—if it’s short and s 97 . Skimming is a good way to get the main idea of light reading, l 98 news about popular sports and stars.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Look t 99 each line.
●Pick up only a few important words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the s 100 piece, but we’ll get the main idea of the news or article.
