Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break the habits which you might have．Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions：

　　1．Do you move your lips when reading silently?

　　2．Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

　　3．Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

　　4．Do you read one word at a time?

　　If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habits．If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them．If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand．Then you will not have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand, and hold your head still．If you read no more than one or two or three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(一瞥)as your eyes travel across the lines of words．

　　With school back in the new term, here are some suggestions from Oxford Learning for students to pass the exams．

　　(1)Pay attention to class．Take notes on the main ideas．If you don’t understand something, make a note and ask others for help．

　　(2)Use a planner to enter homework as soon as it’s assigned(布置)．Pick a comfortable place to do homework．

　　(3)Divide material(材料)into units and assign each unit a day．Give yourself a three-day rest before the test．Study in short classes－15 minutes at a time－then take a five-minute break to exercise．

　　(4)Use Oxford’s SQRCRC method to study:

　　Search introductions, headings and summaries(總結(jié))for main idea．

　　Question：“What do I hope to learn by reading this?”

　　Read for details(細(xì)節(jié))．

　　Cover the work．

　　Recite what you’ve read．

　　Check how well you have done．

There are 365 days in a year．We sleep 8 hours a day, so we have 122 days for sleeping．Then our work time has 243 days left．But there are 52 weekends in a year．Each weekend is two days．We lose another 104 days a year for work．It takes us about one hour to have breakfast and supper．This comes to 15 days over a year．But we can't work all that time-we need a holiday．Let's say we have three weeks' holiday．We don't work all day．Four free hours each evening takes up 61 days．We have to remember that we get 2 days' holiday at Easter, 3 at Christmas and 1 at the New Year．There are also 4 Bank holidays．Take those 10 days away and we have 32 days for work．But then we have one and a half hours' lunch every day, and half an hour's coffee break．That comes to 30 days a year．This means that we have only a few days left for work every year!

　　You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．

　　Perhaps you have been told about some habits(習(xí)慣)which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．

　　Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions．

　　(1)Do you move your lips(嘴唇)when reading silently?

　　(2)Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

　　(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

　　(4)Do you read one word at a time?

　　If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit．If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading．Then if your lips move, your will know it and can stop them．

　　If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand．Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．If you move your head, place your chin(下巴)in one hand and hold your head still(靜止不動的)．

　　If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in(吸收)more words at each glance(一瞥)as your eyes travel across the lines of words．

　　Even if you do rather fast now, you can learn to read even faster．As you probably have been told, the se of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance．Read in thought groups and force(迫使)your eyes along the lines of words at fast as you can make them go．Anyone who practices doing these things will be able to read faster．
