　　People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells．Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the church and have made up their minds to 　　1　　 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest(抗议)against heavy trucks which run 　　2　　 through the narrow High Street．“They not only make it 　　3　　 to sleep at night, but they are doing damage(损害)to our houses and shops of historical 　　4　　 , ”

　　said John Norris, one of the protesters．

　　“ 　　5　　 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads, ” said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don't they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn't much more than a

　　　　6　　 village．Its streets were never meant for heavy traffic”．

　　Harry Fields also studying 　　7　　 said they wanted to make as much noise as possible to force the government officials to realize what everybody was having to stand．“Most of them don't live here anyway, ” he said, “they come in for meetings and the Town Hall is soundproof(隔音的), so they probably don't 　　8　　．It's high time they realized the problem．” The fourth student, Liza Vernum, said she thought the public were mostly on their side, and even if they weren't they soon would be．

　　I asked if they were 　　9　　 that the police might come to stop them．

　　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(习惯)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(静止不动的)．

　　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．
