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.

“ You’ re trying to control my life, -year- ” says my nine 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 sa ys, “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 parents ’ “do it because I say so - our generationhas gone too far. ”approach “ 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 Moo rish, 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 didnt 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. ”
