一、阅读理解
The purpose of this part of the book is
to help you become more
efficient in
reading by speeding up the process generally. 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.

解析
:
“You’re
trying to
control my life,” says my
nine
-year-
old son. “I don’t
know why you think you can do that, but
you can’t.” I received this bit of
information after I asked Gabriele to
put his dirty socks in the basket. And I
get no sympathy from my mother, who
s
ays,“You let him have his way from
the beginning.”
It’s true. I have always asked
Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt
about things - treated him as my peer,
not my child. And what have I got from
my troubles? A lot of back talk. At
least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint
heard among parents across the country.
It’s not just that we’re confused by
the contradictory advice offered in
parenting books. The fact is, in an
effort to break away from how we were
raised - to try something more liberal
than our p
arents’ “do it because I say
so”approach
-
our
generationhas gone too far. “Today’s parents want
to be
young, so they try to be friends
with their children,”says Kathy Lynn, a
parenting educator.
“When it
comes to discipline, our society has gone from one
extreme to
the other,”says
Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. “We used to
use the
strap, to intimidate. Then we
had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving
children choices and allowing them to
learn from their own experiences.”
Real discipline, says
Mo
orish, is about teaching. “By
correcting our
children when they do
something wrong, we teach them how to behave
properly,”he says. But this only works,
he emphasizes, if parents regain their
position of authority. Children will
always be children. The key is for parents
to choose to take the time to guide and
teach their kids.
Rita Munday, a mother
of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that
played out in the children’s shoe store
she operated. She often saw children
insist on having the high-priced,
brand-name shoes. And even when the
mother didn’
t want to spend
the money, she would give in when the kid
started acting up and throwing shoes
around.
Rhonda Radice,
Munday
’s younger colleague, is one
parent who has
bucked the trend and is
proud of it. “I
don’t
negotiate with them. You can’t.
I’ve
seen parents come into the store and bribe their
children to behave. You
shouldn’t have
to buy love and respect.”
