　　Speed reading is a technique by which an individual can not only read fast but also retain (保留) the information given in the reading material. The primary reason for a low reading speed is that we can’t judge what to read and what part to skip (跳過). Here are some speed reading tips that will help improve your reading speed.

　　First you need to skim through (瀏覽) the material you’re going to read. If you’re reading a textbook, then it’s a good idea to read the summary, introduction or preface before reading the main text. Reading the summary will give you a guide about what you need to learn from the text. Your eyes can take in several words at a time and this is known as eye span. To increase your reading speed, try reading blocks (塊) of words in a sentence. You can also skip over words such as: the, a, it, to, etc., as even if you skip over them, you’ll still understand the main idea of the sentence you’re reading.

　　The most common mistake made by poor readers is often pausing in the middle of their reading to go back and dwell on some previous sentences. One way to avoid this is to use a piece of paper to place it over the text you’re reading, covering each line once you’ve finished reading it.

　　Some people move their lips while reading while others like to “read in their head”. Both the methods contribute to a low reading speed. The best way to break this habit is to be conscious while reading and if you catch yourself moving your lips, just place a finger on your mouth.

　　_________________ If you’re reading in a crowded room, you can try to block out (阻擋) all sounds by using earplugs. To retain what you’ve read, you need to concentrate and focus on your reading material.

　　70. What’s the purpose of placing a piece of paper over the text you’re reading?

　　A. To read the text more closely. B. To avoid re-reading.

　　C. To recite the text. D. To prevent you from being disturbed.

　　The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

　　Those aged 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices, compared with less than six and a half hours five years ago, when the study was last conducted. And that does not count the hour and a half that youths spend texting, or the half-hour they talk on their cellphones.

　　And because so many of them are multitasking — say, surfing the Internet while listening to music — they pack on average nearly 11 hours of media content into that seven and a half hours.

　　“I feel like my days would be boring without it,” said Francisco Sepulveda, a 14-year-old Bronx eighth grader who uses his smart phone to surf the Web, watch videos, listen to music — and send or receive about 500 texts a day.

　　The study’s findings shocked its authors. It found, moreover, that heavy media use is associated with several negatives, including behavior problems and lower grades.

　　While most of the young people in the study got good grades, 47 percent of the heaviest media users had mostly C’s or lower. The heaviest media users were also more likely than the lightest users to report that they were bored or sad, or that they got into trouble, did not get along well with their parents and were not happy at school.

　　The study also found that young people used less media in homes with rules like no television during meals or in the bedroom, or with limits on media time.

　　Victoria Rideout, a Kaiser vice president who is lead author of the study, said that although it has become harder for parents to control what their children do, they can still have an effect.

　　“I don’t think parents should feel totally incapable,” she said. “They can still make rules, and it still makes a difference.”

　　72. What’s the main idea of the text?

　　A. Media use of young Americans B. The negatives of heavy media use

　　C. The increasing popularity of media D. The comparison between two studies

　　73. Which of the following is NOT the finding of the new study?

　　A. American teens spend lots of time on media.

　　B. young people in some families use less media.

　　C. heavy media use contributes to negative effects.

　　D. Those aged 8 to 18 spent less than 6.5 hours five years ago.

　　74. The teens with heavy media use .

　　A. study harder than ever to get good grades

　　B. will become sadder as days go by

　　C. will get bored of everything

　　D. may have some problems

　　75. The teens with heavy media use are likely to .

　　A. get bored of everything

　　B. become cleverer as days go by

　　C. behave negatively and get into trouble

　　D. study harder than ever to get good grades
