You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade this year．You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read rapidly．Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those which you might have．Check yourself by answering "yes" or "no" to these questions．
Do you move your lips （嘴唇） when reading silently?
Do you point to words with your finger as you read?
If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, start at once to break the habit．If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading．
If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand．If you move your head, place your chin （下巴）in one hand and hold your head still ．
If you read no more than one or two three words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words．
| A．Do you read without any sound? |
| B．Do you read one word at a time? |
| C．Do you still have any of these bad habits? |
| D．Do you move your head from side to side as you read? |
E．Then you will have too much time to understand the words?
F．Then if your lips move, you will know it and can stop them．
G．Then you won't have a free finger to use in pointing while reading．
When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(迫使) by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of.
Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by them.
Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.
| A．There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. |
| B．Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of. |
| C．We ought to keep from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others. |
| D．Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. |
E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habits.
F. These are all easily formed habits.
G. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time. Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already?
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3.This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start.And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
| A．Try new things. |
| B．Ability is easily improved. |
| C．Make three or four instead. |
| D．Understand your food better. |
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give upWhen you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.
| A．It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. |
| B．It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. |
| C．Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work. |
| D．In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. |
E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.
F. Don’t delay
G. Here are some keys to success that they give.
How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and/or family that have an opinion on everything you do? It’s not easy! Here are 4 tips which can help you live a dynamic life.
Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter－your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else.
Don't fear peopleThe reason most people don’t take risks, or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them. If you want to live the life you truly deserve, you must give up the need to be liked by everybody.
Value yourself and your choices
When you do, others will too. Own the choices you make in your life. When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you too. Show confidence in your choices, and what you stand for whether others agree or not.
Focus on appreciation
No matter what the circumstances are, there is always something to be grateful for. All successful people ask, “What am I grateful for ? How can I improve my situation and use these tough times to inspire others?”
These steps, if applied, will help you transform your peace of mind, lifestyle, and productivity.
| A．Concentrate on your own talents and strengths. |
| B．Never let others’ opinions guide your choices. |
| C．Treat every person like they are important. |
| D．When you doubt yourself, others will doubt you. |
E. Stay fearless in everything you will have to do.
F. Be thankful to life and be helpful to others, and you’ll lead a successful life.
G. However, there are great possibilities that you can lead the life you really want.
