Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can? Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.

As your eyes move along the line of point, they make fixations (固定) or pauses (暂停). It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group. The numbers of letters or words that you see at a fixation are called your eye span (视跨). Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.

The way in which you read always depends on (取决于) what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:

(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.

(2) Rapid (快速) first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.

(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive (细致的) study of your school subjects, solving maths problems or reading directions.

(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing materials that you already know well.

There are many colors in nature．But do you think that a color has weight? I think you'll say “no”. But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment (实验)．

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes．Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap(色裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK．Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier．

Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind．

The scientist told us that colors also have smell．Can you smell the color? Of course not．Then why did the scientist say so. That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长)．It reaches our brain through sense organs.

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate．So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like．Or you'll be nervous or even get ill． For example, you like blue and hate red．If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours．But if the room is blue, you'll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise．

That means our body temperature will change with different colors．

1.From the experiment, we know that_________．

A．the two boxes have the same weight

B．colors can change the weight of an object

C．the red paper is heavier than the white paper

D．colors have different weights in people's mind

A．the smell of colors is changeable（可变的）

B．people can sense the light from colors

C．people can smell the colors through the nose

D．all the colors have the same smell for the blind

3.Which of the following is true? ____．

A．White color is heavier than red color

B．People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don't like

C．People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms

D．People's body temperature will change with different colors

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that____．

A．red color is bad for our health

B．people may get nervous in a red room

C．blue color can raise（提升）our body temperature

D．colors can influence our mood（情绪）and health
