Most people can learn to cover material much faster than they do now while maintaining a high level of comprehension.
Improvement in reading efficiency has several major benefits. We need reading skills to benefit from the wealth of information that is now available in printed form. Most people get the rough outlines of their daily news from television and radio. However, the printed word still provides the in-depth coverage of topics that really produces well-informed people. Reading is also a great source of entertainment for many people. For students, it is the primary method of studying.
The time you now spend reading can be made much more productive by increasing your reading rate. For some people this will mean that they can obtain more information in the same length of time. For others it will mean that time now devoted to reading can be used in other more interesting and profitable ways.
To determine how fast you are reading, you first have to get some idea of the number of words in a given passage. Then you simply divide the number of words by the number of minutes it takes to read. That will give your rate in words per minute. 6. The passage is taken from _____. A. a story book B. a news report

A symbol is something that is used to represent something else. Numbers, letters, and words are all symbols that show ideas.
The easiest symbols to understand are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. We can put these 10 symbols together in different ways to make every possible number. All people on earth understand the ideas shown by these mathematical symbols. In fact, scientists think that if we meet living things from space, we will use mathematical symbols to try to talk to them.
Letters are symbols we can use to write a sound. We put letters together to make words. Words are symbols, too. For example, we want to write the idea of something that is living. It is made of wood, and it has leaves. We use the word tree. Other languages use different words to make their symbols tree.
The Egyptians made one of the earliest forms of writing called hieroglyphics. They used pictures to represent people and stories. We can still see examples of hieroglyphics in museums. They are very difficult for us to read.
Europeans began to use picture symbols on road signs about 50 years ago. People speak many different languages in Europe, but they can drive in all European countries because of the picture symbols in the road signs. 11. All the following are symbols except _____. A. letters 正确答案：B
