You don’t need every word to understand the meaning of what you read．In fact, too much emphasis on separate words both and reduces your comprehension．
First, any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient．If you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly．Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency．One is “saying” each word silently by moving your tongue or throat; another is “hearing” each word as you read．
These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago．The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together．Your reading purpose is quite different; it is to understand meaning．
It has been supposed that up to 75％ of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for ?expressing? the meaning．The secret of silent reading is to find out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for grammatical completeness．
An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud．He takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time．If he “says” or “hears” words to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis．

Research has shown that childhood is a better time than manhood to learn foreign languages．However, ________ learn only English．Less than one third of American elementary schools teach foreign languages．Only 44 percent of American high school students take a foreign language．And 70 percent of them are learning Spanish．What’s more, the United States doesn’t have enough foreign teachers．
The plan calls for teaching more children foreign languages, as early as the age of four．Most of the new teaching would be in languages not widely taught now in American schools．These include Arabic, Chinese, Farsi(波斯語), Hindi(北印度語)and Russian．It also aims to increase foreign language instruction in colleges and graduate schools．The hope is to bring more foreign language speakers into government service．
Administration officials will ask for 114 million dollars in 2007 to start the program．The money would be used to help foreign-language students pay for their educations．The plan also calls for sending more American students to other countries to study．And it calls for bringing more foreign language teaching assistants to the United States．
In a word, to face the uncertain challenges in the future, America needs more officers, teachers, and students who can understand foreign languages．It will also improve the understanding and cultural exchange between America and other countries around the world．

In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes．Most people like traveling by car or by air．
Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001．The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation．They only studied trips longer than 50 miles．The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle．Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane．Two percent were traveled in a bus．And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train．
Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States．In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent．Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now．In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains．
There are several reasons why many people _________．
Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars．On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains．These highways connect all major cities in America．Secondly, many travelers like to be independent．When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel．Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities．Bus travel is less costly than train travel．
In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other．In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day．Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster．People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly．For these people saving time is the most important thing．

Called “the School of the Future” and created with help from software giant Microsoft, a recently-opened public school in Philadelphia, US, is believed to be the first in the world to combine innovation teaching methods with the latest technology. At this school, students work on wireless laptops, teachers avoid traditional subjects for real-world topics and parents can track their child's work on the Internet.
The school, which cost the school district $63 million to build, is free and has no entrance exams. The 170 ninth-grade students were selected at random from l,500 applicants.
Philadelphia School District Chief Executive Paul Vallas told students they would be observed by other schools around the world. “You have become instant role models,” Vallas said. “People are going to be watching you. “
Students still sit in classrooms, but lessons rely heavily on information found on the Internet and on interactive software. Students will be allowed to learn at their own pace. Homework is done on computer and sent to the teacher for grading and parents can access the school's network to read teacher feedback on their child's progress.
Traditional education fails to teach students the skills of problem-solving, critical thinking and effective communication, which they need to succeed in the 21st century, Principal Shirley Grover said in an interview. “It's not about memorizing certain algebraic equations (代數(shù)方程式）and then presenting them in a test,” Grover said. “It's about thinking how maths might be used to solve a quality-of-water problem or how it might be used to determine whether or not we are safe in Philadelphia from the birdflu.”
David Terry, 14, said he was hoping to “turn over a new leaf” after discipline problems in his previous school left him with an “average to really bad” academic record. “This is a great opportunity for me,” he said. “In other schools, I would not .”
