Skimming and Reading FlexibilityThere are many kinds of reading speed, which depend on the difficulty of the material being read as well as the student&#

29、39;s own reading ability and background knowledge.In order to simplify the subject, let us say there are three types of reading speed. The first reading speed we might call "study speed". This is the slowest reading speed, and it is used for difficult material. In this type of reading the

30、student attempts to study the material carefully so that he will not miss a single point. He also hopes to remember the material at a large time. Unfortunately, many students use this slow study speed when really they should be using a "study technique". Study techniques involve such thing

31、s as reading the material once rapidly then going back over it to pick up more of the details, or underlining, or outlining, or thinking of questions on the material and answering them, and so on.The second reading speed we shall call average speed. Reading of average speed is what a student does mo

32、st of the time. Average reading speed would cover easier textbooks, novels, newspapers, and so on. It is difficult to say exactly what average reading speed should be, but it should certainly be faster than 250 words per minute, while many students can read quite comfortably at 500 words per minute

33、after training comprehension.Average reading speed varies considerably from person to person and from time to time. A good reader's average reading speed might vary from 250 words per minute to 500 words per minute, while a poor reader's average reading speed might vary from 150 to 180 words

34、 per minute.Skimming is reading at the fastest speed which a person can accomplish. It is used when a reader wishes to cover material in a hurry. At this speed, the student will accept a level of comprehension somewhat lower than that which can be obtained at study speed or at average reading speed.

35、It is difficult to say exactly how fast skimming should be, but usually it should be twice as fast as the fastest average reading. If, for example, a student begins a reading course at 200 words per minute, it is reasonable to expect that at the end of this course, if the course has been successful

36、and the student has tried hard, he will be reading at 400 words per minute, average speed. Hence we expect this student's skimming to be 800 words per minute or better.In average reading the student does not skip any material; he covers the entire amount of reading matter. This does not mean tha

37、t his eyes fix at or stop on every word, neither does it mean that he can skip any whole sentences or halves of paragraphs. In skimming, however, it is fair to leave out material. Often a reader will leave out half or three-quarters of a paragraph if he feels he has got the main idea. Skimming also

38、differs from average reading in that the student intentionally accepts lowered comprehension. In average reading the student attempts to get as good comprehension as he can; this usually means 70% or 80%.Now we come to the problem faced by the student who is about to do a skimming exercise. Precisel

39、y what does the student do to get going at this extremely fast rate? What material does he leave out?Let us say that the student wishes to skim a factual article of several thousand words. He should first read the opening paragraph or two at his fastest average rate. That means he leaves out nothing

40、, but goes at his top reading speed of 300 or 400 words per minute. He reads the whole of the first several paragraphs in order to get started, to get the idea of the story, the setting, a little of the author's style, the tone or mood, and so on. Frequently an author will give an introduction i

41、n the first few paragraphs and this will help to give the reader an overall gestalt (完整结构) of the story. But very shortly, if the student is to achieve a skimming rate of 800 words per minute or better, he must begin leaving out material. Hence, on the third or fourth paragraph he reads only the key

42、 sentence, struggles to get the main idea of the paragraph, and skips the second half. Perhaps he will read the key sentence and let his eyes jump down through the paragraph, picking up one or two important words, phrases, or numbers.Sometimes the key sentence will not be found at the first sentence

43、 of the paragraph. The student will then have to hunt around a little in the paragraph in order to get either the key sentence or several phrases or sentences which give the main idea of the paragraph. In skimming, the student attempts to get the main idea of every paragraph plus a few of the facts.

51、 C and D.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage.Australian and US scientists have found that children fathered by older men are likely to be less intelligent than the offspring of younger dads.The surprise result contrasted sharply with earlier studies showing that older mothers produced chi

52、ldren more likely to record above average intelligence scores, the researchers concluded.Lead scientist John McGrath, from the Queensland Brain Institute, said the result was a world first and had implications for men in Western societies who have delayed fatherhood until their 40s or older."Th

53、e results were quite startling as it was thought that the age of the father was less of a concern compared to the age of the mother," McGrath said. "Now we are getting more evidence of the age of the father being just as important - the older a dad is, the worse his children tend to do in

54、intelligence tests."Researchers examined data collected on 33,000 children in the US between 1959 and 1965 fathered by men aged from 15 to 65. They found that the children of older dads performed less well in intelligence tests conducted at age eight months, four years and seven years.The resea

55、rchers said previous studies had linked older fathers to an increased risk of health problems in their children, including schizophrenia, autism, dyslexia, epilepsy and dwarfism. However, the study published in the journal Public Library of Science Medicine is the first to suggest there is also a li

56、nk with general intelligence.The trend towards children of older fathers being less intelligent remained statistically significant even when factors such as socio-economic status and parental mental health were taken into account.McGrath said the research team could not draw conclusions on how havin

57、g an older father influenced children later in life because the subjects in their study were only examined until they were aged seven."It is feasible that the offspring of older fathers 'catch up' during later childhood," the researcher said. "How the subtle neurocognitive features associated with (older fathers) translate into later educational and mental health outcomes across the lifespan remains to be determined
