　　Perhaps you have been told about some habits (習(xí)慣) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．

　　Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．

　　Try to read regularly (定期)．For example，read for a short time once a day．Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday．Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it．For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up or you are at lunchtime．

　　Read what interests you．Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like，because you are going to spend time and money to read it．So choose an interesting book．You can also read newspapers．There are many English newspapers in China．For example，21st Century Teens．It's easy enough for you to understand．There is something interesting in it．
