| There is no doubt that adults, and even highlyeducated adults, vary greatly in the speed and efficiency of their reading.Some proceed very slowly throughout; others clash along too quickly and then have to regress(退回)．Poor readers in particular may lack the ability to vary their manner of reading according to the type of reading matter and to their intentions in reading it. A good reader can move at great speed through the text of a novel or similar light reading matter. He may be able to skim a page, picking up a word or two here and there, and gain a general idea of what the text is about without really reading it.In reading more difficult material, with the intention of taking in the whole of it, he will proceed more slowly, but even then he will vary his pace, concentrating on the key words and passages, perhaps rereading them several times, and pass more quickly over the remainder.A less efficient reader tends to maintain the same speed whatever the material he reads. Consequently, even light reading matter gives him little pleasure because he reads so slowly.But this pace may be too fast for really difficult material. A type of reading which necessitates careful attention to detail is proofreading (校对), in which the reader, in order to detect misprints in a sample print, has to notice not so much the meaning of what he reads as the exact shape and order of letters and words in the text.This is extremely difficult for most people since they are accustomed to overlooking such details.In fact, considerable practice is required to practice this task efficiently and it can be done only by reading very slowly, and by paying less attention to the general meaning of the text. |
| 1．The author claims that there is a difference in reading speed________. |
| A．between the poorlyeducated and the highlyeducated B．among all readers C．among different poorlyeducated adults only D．among different highlyeducated adults only |
| 2．A good reader is a reader who________. |
| A．concentrates on the key words only B．changes his speed according to the kind of text C．always reads slowly but carefully D．changes his speed according to his liking for the book |
| 3．In order to detect misprints in a sample print, a proofreader has to________. |
| A．understand the text fully B．have practice in efficiency C．pay no attention to the general meaning of the text D．grasp the shape and order of letters and words as he reads |

| The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. Consider the novel views on the subject of getting ahead.Coleman is black.He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT & T, Coca Cola.Coleman says that based on what he's seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image,30%; and exposure, a full 60%.Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won't secure you the big promotion.He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are. Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales have dropped from their eyes."Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleen Jamison, a New York based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues."They think that if you work hard, you'll get ahead and someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion." She added, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they've gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight. |
