> Page Passage 1 阅读短文 , 根据短文内容选择一个最佳答案。 If you are reading this article in class, you are probably trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim and scan, to look for key words in order to understand the main idea and the important points of the article. Skimming and scanning is a good way when you are taking an exam. But, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading. Now something called the “ slow reading movement ” has become popular. The idea is that people should shut off their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty鄄five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasures of reading a good book — slowly! In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a café, sit quietly, drink coffee and just read. Researchers have found that reading slowly helps people concentrate and relax. Reading, of course, isn蒺t easy. You have to sit still, for one thing. And it can seem boring when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I蒺ve enjoyed meeting thousands of interesting people I would have hardly met in real life. Reading helped me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls. In your classroom, you have learned to read “ fast ” . Outside the classroom, you should try to learn to read “ slow ” . You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it. Unit8 it Unit8 69 > Page Newwords skim v. 略读 scan v. 扫读 café n. 咖啡店 concentrate v. 全神贯注 enduring adj. 持久的 （ ） 1.
