3、he lines of words as fast as they could and not to be concerned about what the words meant. I read Animal Farm in 10 ten minutes. Cover to cover. The instructor asked what the book was about. I said I didnt know, but if I had to guess Id say it was about animals on a farm. He looked displeased.Ive b
4、een speed reading ever since. I cant stop and I cant slow down. Today, for example, I plan on reading Churchills History of the English Speaking Peoples over lunch.

5、d and what something actually says.The other day I passed by a mall with a large sign that said “Auto Theft Sale”.

6、ery time I drive through a construction zone, I gasp (屏气). The sign says: “Hit a Worker $10, 000 (about 62,000 yuan).” It reads like theyre offering a reward. Of course, its not an offer. Its just that my eyes rarely take in the last line that says, “Fine.” Its a $10, 000 fine if you hit a worker. S
7、omeone really needs to rephrase that one.Speed reading has bitten me on the backside more than once. Especially as a writer. Just ask any of my editors.21.

B A trip across the Pacific will guarantee you a different experience with a tipping culture youve never come across in China.In the US, giving a l
11、ittle extra money to service workers on top of your bill is a common practice.Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour, employees receiving tipsoften waiters and waitressesare the exceptions. They usually only receive at least $2.13 an hour, and t
12、ips make up the difference. As the Wall Street Journal put it, “The American system of tipping holds the promise of great rewards for waiting staff.” So how should you tip if you are in the US?Normally you pay tips as a percentage of the bill. Offering an extra 15 percent of the bill to the waiter o
