专家认为，做阅读理解不应该是读，而应该是看。默读有利于发展阅读者的内部语言，有利于强化理解，有利于提高阅读速度。测试表明，我们朗读时，一分钟能念125个字就已很不错了，而默读时，每分钟可读150个字以上，有人阅读小说时甚至可达每分钟600字。
默读时一定要做到如下三点：①全神贯注。这是有效阅读最需要的心理素质。②积极思维。默读有利于思维活动的开展，有利于深层理解。③减少回视。回视率高不仅限制了速度，也会对内容的理解产生支离破碎的影响。
培养默读习惯最好的方法是扩大视幅快读，让你的嘴跟不上你的阅读速度；我们也可用手指压在嘴上或按住喉部，这样就会逐渐改掉嘴唇抖动的坏习惯。
Passage A
阅读理解
As one comes to some crossroads, he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead.① At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road; and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle （口哨声）， so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.② A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said, “You didnt stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP’。” answered Mr Williams, “It just says ‘SLOW’， and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face.③ Then he put his notebook and pen away, scratched （抓） his head and said, “Well，I'm in the wrong street！”

Passage B
阅读理解
Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.
There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from highrise flats.① Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip （滑跤） on wet floors if they are not careful.
Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances （电器） such as ricecookers which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves （煤气灶） used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.②
But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician （电工）。
