【正确答案】阅读技能很重要。专家估计，任何一个说英语的普通成人经过特别的训练，有可能每分钟读一千个词，甚至更多。然而大多数学生每分钟只能读约三百个词。
阅读时要尽可能快于你习惯的速度。你正常的阅读速度变得愈快，理解就会愈强。阅读时不要让自己倒退回去，即使遇到了生词也要继续一句句读下去。
你阅读的时候，要有意识地努力把名词、代词和动词与别的词分开，因为这些词使所读的东西具有意义。实际上，你应该认真读名词、代词和动词，而句子里其余的词只要看一下就行了。
大多数大学课程里指定的阅读都十分长，学生应该安排每天阅读。但是如果刚开始他们发现不能完成所有指定的阅读，他们不应该惊慌，而应该问问其他同学读了多少。

【答案解析】[听力原文]
Reading skills are important. Experts estimate that it is possible for any normal adult English speaker to read 1,000 words a minute and more with special training. Yet most students read only about 300 words per minute.
Always read faster than is comfortable. The faster your normal rate of reading becomes, the better your understanding will be. While reading, do not allow yourself to regress, but keep reading ahead in every sentence, even when you come across a new word.
As you read, make a conscious effort to screen the nouns, pronouns and verbs from the other words, since these are the words that give meaning to what you have read. In effect, you should really read the nouns, pronouns and verbs and merely see the rest of the words in the sentence.
Because the reading assignments in most college courses are very long, students should plan to read every day. If, however, they find that they cannot complete all of the assigned readings in the beginning, they should not panic. Instead, ask their classmates how much they are reading.
