Hints for Reading Practice
1. Most of US can find l 5 minutes or half an hour each day for some regular activity.
For example，one famous surgeon always spent l 5 minutes reading something before he went to sleep each day. Whether he went to bed at l0 P. m. or 2：30 a. m. made no difference.
2. "Speed Reading" courses teach students how to read more quickly. In such courses，teachers often ask students to find out how many words a minute they are reading. You can do this too：look at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and write down the page number you have reached. 医,学全,在线.搜集.整理www.lindalemus.com
3. Obviously，you should not increase your reading speed if you do not understand what you are reading. If you find something you don't understand in the book，or you cannot clearly remember the details of what you read, why not read the chapter again?
4. Take four or five pages of an interesting book you happen to be reading now. Read these pages as fast as you can. Don't worry about whether you understand or not. If you keep doing this "lightning speed" reading for a period of time, you will usually find that your normal speed has increased.
5. Most paragraphs in an article have a topic sentence that expresses the central idea. The opening paragraph often suggests the general direction and content of the article，while paragraphs that follow expand or support the first. The closing paragraph often gives a summary of the most important points of the article.

第一篇
Football
Football is，I suppose，the most popular game in England：one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting and cheering for one side or the other.
One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you，with a great air of authority，who he expects will win such and such a match，and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
Most schools in England take football seriously--much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are all—important(至关重要的)，医学全在,线www.lindalemus.comand games are left for private arrangements. In England，it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom；education also means character training. One of the best ways of training character is by means of games，especially team games，where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team，instead of working selfishly(自私地)for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game，it is good exercise for the body，it needs skill and a quick brain，it is popular and it is cheap. As a result，it is the school's favorite game in the winter.
