Most of us can find 15 minutes or half an hour each day for some specific regular activity.It may be a free period or a regular wait,say in the queue for a bus or meal --- even while eating breakfast.One famous surgeon always made it a rule to spend at least 15 minutes on general reading before he went to sleep each night.Whether he went to bed at 10 pm or 2:30 am made no difference.Even if you cannot keep to this kind of discipline,it is a good idea to make sure you always have a general interest book in your pocket.Don't forget it should be a book which entertains you and the English must not be too difficult for you.Nearly all "speed reading" courses have a "pacing" element --- some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading.You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached.Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are busy reading.Well,this is difficult at first.A friend can help by timing you over a set period,or you can read within hearing distance of a public clock which strikes the quarter hours.Pace yourself every three or four days,always with the same kind of easy,general interest book.You should soon notice your habitual w.p.m.rate creeping up.

我们多数人都能每天找15或半小时时间做规律的活动.可能那是个闲暇时件或者等待,比如等公交或等饭上桌.甚至在吃早餐都可以.某著名医生曾经养成了个习惯每天在睡前要做15分钟阅读.不论他是10点上床 还是半夜两点半.即使认为无法遵守这个纪律,这对你来说放本书在兜里是个好主意.别忘了要是本有意思的书,并且语言不能对你来说过于复杂.全速阅读过程有快速的成分.需要即时的工具让学生们知道自己在1分钟内能读多少词.你可以每5到10分钟记下页数.看看每页多少词.开始比较困难,找个朋友帮你计时或者在能听到钟表声音的地方阅读,并且一定要读简单的,普通有趣的书.你不久就会注意到你的习惯性 词数/分钟 速率悄悄上来了.
