There is no doubt that adults, and even highly-educated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading.Some proceed very slowly throughout; others clash along too quickly and then have to regress(退回)．Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it.
A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter.He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it.In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps re-reading them several times, and pass more quickly over the remainder.A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads.Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly.But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material.
A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading (校对), in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text.This is extremely difficult for most people since they are accustomed to overlooking such details.In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying less attention to the general meaning of the text.
31．The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed________． A．between the poorly-educated and the highly-educated B．among all readers
C．among different poorly-educated adults only D．among different highly-educated adults only 32．A good reader is a reader who________． A．concentrates on the key words only
B．changes his speed according to the kind of text C．always reads slowly but carefully
D．changes his speed according to his liking for the book
33．In order to detect misprints in a sample print, a proofreader has to________． A．understand the text fully B．have practice in efficiency
C．pay no attention to the general meaning of the text
D．grasp the shape and order of letters and words as he reads Ⅳ.任务型读写
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.
Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don't take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
Let's use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.
What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.
So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn't built in a day.”， “Patience is a virtue.”， and so on.
Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.
