If you want to become a better reader，what should you know about speed of reading？

Some people read very rapidly，while others read very slowly．But which one is better？

The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun．But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully．He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.

The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something．But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.

So，you see，either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one．If you wish to become a better reader，here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.

1．Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.

2．Some things should be read slowly throughout.Examples are directions for making or doing something，science and history books，and Maths problems．You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.

3．Some things should be read rapidly throughout．Examples are simple stories for enjoyment，letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.

4．In some of your reading，you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast，as you go along．You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.

参考译文

如果想成为更好的阅读者，你该如何把握阅读速度呢？

有些人读书很快，有些人读书很慢，可哪一种更好呢？

如果读的是消遣性质的小说，快读可能就不错。 但快读者可能速度降不下来，阅读说明书时也不够仔细。他可能读得太快，以至于没有时间充分理解需要记忆的重要的概念和信息。

阅读制造物品的说明书时，慢读可能更好。但慢读者在阅读简单的故事时也可能耗时太多，简单的故事是用来消遣的，但不够重要，不值得记忆。

因此，你要明白，快读者和慢读者都不是真正的好读者。如果你想成为更好的阅读者，这里有4条需要记住的关于阅读速度的要点：

1．明确为什么而读常常有助于了解应当快读，还是慢品。

2．有些东西需要通篇慢读，比如制作东西或需要动手的说明书、科学和历史书籍、数学难题等。这些东西你必须慢慢地读，记住每一个重要步骤，理解每一个关键点。

3．有些东西应当通篇浏览，比如消遣的故事、朋友的来信、当地报纸的新闻简讯。

4．有时，你必须一边读一边调整速度，比如从快变到慢，或从慢变到快。你必须快速浏览某些页码，碰到重要概念时减缓速度，仔细阅读。
