You don’t need every word to understand the meaning of what you read. In fact, too much emphasis on individual words both slows your speed and reduces your prehension. You will be given the chance to prove this to yourself, but meanwhile, let us look at the implication. First, any habit which slows down you silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient. If you point to each word as you read, or more 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 or vocal cords。 5. 大小寫錯誤及標(biāo)點符號忽略不計。 All of these contain hazardous chemicals. Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste. Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but insects but that pollutes water as well. Farmers also use nitrates, nitrogenrich fertilizer that helps plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas. Too many nitrates “ over enrich” these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water. What’s the Solution? Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water related problems。 about 250 million people a year get sick from water borne diseases. In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical pounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain pounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.） But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain。 4. 整體意思完全錯誤，即使結(jié)構(gòu)正確也不得分。 another is “hearing” each word as you read.
