You might say that her father is Huang, and her martial arts are unparalleled, and some people support her. Yes, it's good. However, there are many crises in rivers and lakes, and Huang Rong can save the day everywhere. The most important thing is that she is resourceful, decisive and smart.
If Huang Rong has any regrets, it is that her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. Huang Rong's mother has an amazing memory. She can read the Nine Yin Scriptures and write them down by memory.
Few people have a photographic memory in real life, but many people still read a few lines at a time. In the book Communication Bible, how to improve reading speed is described.
The author of this book is Nicky Stanton, an outstanding British consultant. In the book Communication Bible, the author expounds communication skills from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing.
People often encounter obstacles in communication, either they can't express clearly or the other party can't understand them, because everyone has different expressive ability and different understanding of language, writing and expression. Many contradictions are caused by poor communication.
Good communication requires skills, and reading is also a way of communication, which is the communication between the author and the reader. Improving reading speed will also improve the efficiency of communication. Today, let's see how to improve reading speed.
First, know your reading habits.
Everyone's reading habits are different, and the reading speed is different with different habits. Good reading habits help to improve reading speed.
1. Get into the habit of browsing before reading.
Some people pick up books and read them carefully directly from the first word of the text. In fact, this effect is not good, nor can we grasp the rhythm of reading as a whole.
Before you read it carefully, you should read it all, just like when a student takes an exam, he should read the test paper first and be aware of it. Browsing can help us understand the logical structure and content outline of the article, just as we have to look at the map before going to a strange place.
For example, when we read the book Lifelong Growth, we will know that there are two ways of thinking: fixed way of thinking and growing way of thinking. The book uses detailed examples in various fields, and you can judge according to your own needs: which chapters are useful to you; What doesn't matter; In the next reading, which parts should be read carefully.
2, different content, use different speed.
Some people read at the same speed from beginning to end, no matter what the content is, or read it again after reading. These reading habits all affect reading speed.
Don't read content with different difficulty at the same speed. For example, the speed at which you read The Book of Songs should be different from the speed at which you read Deliberate Practice.
There are some rare words in the Book of Songs, which will affect the reading speed, but also understand the artistic conception and the author's feelings, so it will be slower to read.
But don't read Deliberate Exercise at a very slow speed. Browse through some concrete examples carefully and quickly. If you don't know, read it twice quickly, which is better than reading it slowly. Because you can't remember all the contents after reading slowly, it's easier to grasp the overall meaning of the book by reading quickly.
3. Take different speeds for different purposes.
Everyone has different purposes of reading, and reading generally has three purposes.
Entertainment: Some people read to read stories and enjoy reading. For example, when you read novels such as detective stories, your purpose is to satisfy strong curiosity and explore the secrets in the book, so don't care about the speed of reading.
Information: Some people want to get information. For example, reading news reports, brochures, etc. Then get to the point.
Judgment: Some people draw their own conclusions in order to understand other people's thoughts. For example, the handling of work reports and reading a book review.
If we just enjoy reading for fun, we don't have to pay attention to speed. If it is to obtain information and make judgments, we should pay attention to the use of time and improve reading speed.
Second, know your own reading process.
The reading speed of ordinary people is 200-300 words per minute, and a few people can reach 600 words per minute. Are people who read faster smarter? number
It is found that reading speed is usually influenced by many factors such as content, author's style and layout. But it is mainly a question of reading methods.
1, identification width
Many people don't know that the reason for the slow reading speed is that the eyes move in the wrong way.
When we take pictures, we all know to focus, keep our hands still and not shake, otherwise the pictures will be blurred.
By the same token, when we read a book, our eyes can only focus when they are still, and we can't see clearly when our eyes move too fast.
In order to see clearly, the eyes will pause. This pause is called gazing. The process of reading is the process of eyes repeatedly pausing and moving.
When reading, each eye stares for about 0.2-0.5 seconds, and the number of words recognized by each gaze is called recognition breadth. Some people have such a wide range of recognition that they can read one line at a time.
For example, if there are twenty words in a line and your recognition span is two words, then your eyes will pause ten times. If your recognition span is five words, then your eyes only need to pause four times.
The wider your cognition, the less times you stare, the less time you pause and the faster you read.
People who read slowly usually have a small recognition span, need to watch more times, have a long pause in their eyes and slow down their reading speed.
Step 2 review
Is to go back to the place you have seen before when reading. People who read slowly read word by word, word by word, and it is difficult to grasp the meaning of the article as a whole. When they see the following sentence, they may forget the previous content, so they start reading again.
Because the eyes move slowly, the brain can't wait to think about other things, and it's easy to get distracted when reading.
Efficient reading has a wide range of readers' recognition, less gaze and fast reading speed. At this time, because the eyes move faster, the brain is forced to keep up with the speed of the eyes, so it is not easy to be distracted.
Step 3 read silently
Both silent reading and mental reading will affect reading speed.
When reading aloud, the average person's speed is 125 words per minute, and when reading silently, it is less than 200 words per minute.
When reading silently, you will focus on a single word, not the whole sentence.
Most slow readers have the habit of reading silently. If you increase your reading speed properly, you won't have time to read silently.
4. Vocabulary
Unfamiliar vocabulary will affect understanding and slow down reading. People who read fast read faster because of their rich vocabulary and stronger understanding and thinking ability.
For example, we see 1+ 1=? We can react quickly, if we see 20 19+90 12=? Think about it, the reaction is slower, but the master of mathematics can get the answer faster than ordinary people.
In the usual work and study, in addition to reading in this major and this field, we should also expand reading in other fields.
For example, if you see the word "gluttonous feast" in the novel, you will know that gluttony is a legendary beast. Then, when you encounter the words "gluttonous decorative appliances" in reading articles about historical relics, you will not be unfamiliar with the word gluttonous, nor will it affect your understanding.
Therefore, it is necessary to expand the depth and breadth of reading and increase vocabulary, which will be smoother in future reading.
In addition to these factors, there are other factors that affect reading, such as environment, posture and light.
Third, practice reading quickly and deliberately.
1, point with your hand or pen
When a child just begins to learn to read, he usually reads with his fingers. In fact, this is a good habit, but this habit is considered naive, and he gave up before he practiced skillfully.
The advantage of this method is to guide the eyes with fingers or pens, and drive the eyes to move at a stable speed, so that the eyes will not jump to other places.
Pointing at a line of words smoothly with your finger or pen may not be used to it at first, but your eyes will pay attention to your finger or pen, but it won't be if you practice it a few times more. In this way, when we are proficient in reading with one finger, we can gradually increase the speed and use two or four fingers.
Just like driving a car. At first, you drive slowly, then you drive fast, and you can go to expressway.
2. Form a stable rhythm.
When your eyes follow your finger or pen, with a steady rhythm, reading will be smoother. The method is to tap with your finger or pen at the end of each line, or tap every two or more lines to form a rhythm that suits you.
A steady pace is like a steady speed. It is safer for a car to keep a steady speed on the road than to speed up and down.
Step 3 read quickly
Speed reading is reading at the fastest speed on the basis of understanding. After improving the reading speed, you can read at this speed no matter what you read.
A brief review of today's content.
First of all, browse the whole book before reading, and adopt different reading speeds according to different purposes and contents.
Secondly, in the reading process, we should improve the breadth of recognition, don't look back, don't read silently, and increase our vocabulary.
Finally, deliberately practice fast reading, guide your eyes with your fingers or pen to form a stable rhythm, so that you can read quickly after careful consideration.
The Bible of Communication tells us that to find the right way to improve reading speed, we can achieve the effect of speed reading through deliberate practice.
Reading is based on the communication between readers and authors. Reading enables us to see the world on the shoulders of giants, which is the most convenient way of communication. Do you want to try!
