　　There was a man who had a little son．He loved him very much．Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy．

　　When the man came home from work one night, he found that he had some extra work to do．And he wasn't able to play with his little son, He wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy．So, looking around his study, he saw a magazine with a large map ot the world on the cover．He got an idea He patiently tore the map up into pieces．Then he led his son into the dining room and spread the pieces on the table．He explained to the boy that it was a map of the world．He told the boy to put it back together and they could play together when he finished．Surely this could keep the child busy for hours, he thought．

　　After about thirty minutes, the boy came to the man and said, ""Okay, it's finished, Dad．Can we play now?"

　　The man was surprised, saying, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said," It was easy．On the back of the page was a picture of a man．When I put the man together, the whole world appeared completely．"

　　Reading is a good habit, but the problem is there’s too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it．There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time．Here are two skills that I think are especially good．

　　Preview－if it’s long and hard．Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports．

　　Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully．

　　Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs．

　　Previewing doesn’t give you all the details．It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want－or need－or read．

　　Skim－if it’s short and simple．Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper．

　　Get your eyes to move fast．Sweep them across each line．

　　Pick up only a few key words in each line．

　　Everybody skims differently．You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but we’ll get a similar idea of what it’s all about．
