  Voices and fingers usually prevent us from reading fast. Young children and even old people learning to read move their fingers along the line of the piece being read, pointing to each word, sometimes even each letter one after another, and saying them to themselves in a low voice. Sometimes the reader makes no sound at all, but keeps moving the inside part of his mouth to pronounce silently. However, no matter how the reader moves his mouth while reading, seen or unseen, visible or invisible, it will be impossible for him to reach a speed of more than about 280 w.p.m.

  Reading must be done by seeing instead of with any sort of sound-producing. The reader  must be able to read more than one word at a time. When looking straight or directly at only one word in a line of reading, one can clearly see at least two other words on both sides in the same line. In other words, the reader can read three words at one glance. Thus looking straight at one word one can at least take in a whole phrase or even a complete short sentence on one line. Very often less than three eye movements will cover a whole line.

1. Pointing to the lines of a reading piece _____ reading.

A. slows down B. speeds up   C. improves   D. helps

2. ____a slow way of reading.

A. Reading aloud is   B. Moving fingers along the lines is

C. Neither A nor B is   D. Both A and B are

3. Taking in _____ at a glance is required in order to read fast.

A. two words  B. two phrases  C. three words  D. three phrases

4. Reading at a speed of about ____ words a minute is still regarded as slow.

A 255B.285 C. 355D. 385

5. Fast reading at an average speed probably requires _____ eye movements for a whole line.

A . oneB. two C. three    D. four
