word to understand the meaning of what you read. in fact, too much focus on individual words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension. you will be given the chance to prove this to yourself, but meanwhile, let us look at the implications.first, any habit, which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient (无效的). if you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the word with your lips, you read poorly. less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency. one is “saying” each word silently by moving your tongue or throat or vocal cords(声带), and another is “hearing” each word you read.these are habits which should have been outgrown long ago. the beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together. your reading purpose is quite different; it is to understand meaning.it has been assumed that up to 75 % of the words in english sentences are not really necessary for passing on the meaning. the secret of silent reading is to seek out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for the sake of grammatical completeness.an efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page loud. without realizing it himself perhaps, he takes in whole phrase or thought unit at a time. if he “says” or “hears” word to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis (重点).61. this passage is mainly about _.a. improving eye movementsb. reading more widelyc. removing poor reading habits d. concentrating while reading62. saying each word to yourself as you read _.a. improves comprehension b. increases reading speed c. prevents returning d. reduces reading efficiency63. your reading purpose should be _.a. to understand all wordsb. to make fewer eye movementsc. to understand the meaningd. to understand the grammatical structures64. it has been assumed that up to 75 % of words in english sentences are _.a. grammatically unnecessary b. important and necessary to the meaningc. not absolutely necessary to grasp the meaning d. entirely meaningless65. efficient readers usually _.a. move their heads quicklyb. take in whole phrases at a timec. point at key wordsd. miss some important points for readers clike any good mother, when karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, michael, prepare for a new sibling(兄弟姊妹). they find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, michael sings to his sister in mommys stomach.the pregnancy (怀孕) progresses normally for karen. but problems appear during delivery (分娩). finally, michaels little sister is born. but she is in serious condition. an ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at st. marys hospital.the little girl gets worse. the doctor tells the parents, “there is very little hope. be prepared for the worst.” karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby now they plan a funeral (葬礼).michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, “i want to sing to her,” he says. but kids are never allowed in intensive care unit(重症监护室). however, karen makes up her mind. she will take michael

karen pulls michael to his sisters bedside. he gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. and he begins to sing.“you are my sunshine, my only sunshine; you make me happy when skies are gray” immediately the baby girl responds. the pulse rate(脉搏) becomes calm and steady.“you never know, dear, how much i love you. please dont take my sunshine away” the weak breathing becomes as smooth as a
