Habit 1： Reading word by word
This is how children are taught to read， but when you concentrate【集中】 on separate words you often miss the overall concept of what is being said. People who read each word as a distinct【不同的】 unit comprehend【理解】 less than those who read faster by “chunking【組成語塊】” words together in blocks.
Solution：
Speed reading involves reading blocks of words at one time and comprehending the meaning of the word group. Think of viewing a digital【數字的】 image. There are millions of pixels【像素】 that only make sense when they are seen together. In the same way， our brains can comprehend ideas better when it takes in a group of words at one time.
Practice expanding the number of words that you read at a time. You may also find that you can increase the number of words read by holding the text a little further from your eyes. The more words you can read in each block， the faster you will read！
習慣1：逐字逐句閱讀
這是教小孩子閱讀的方法。可是當你將注意力集中於個別字詞時，通常會錯過閱讀材料的整體意思。將每個單詞作為獨立個體來閱讀的人不如那些將單詞組成語塊來閱讀的人讀得快、理解得深。
糾正方案：
快速閱讀包括每次讀取語塊及理解詞組的意思。把這想象為數字影像吧。成百萬計的像素隻有結合在一起才能成像。同理，我們的大腦每次以一組詞為單位閱讀可以理解得更好。
練習增加你每次閱讀的單詞量。你會發現將文章與眼睛的距離拉開一點可以增加你所讀單詞的數量。你閱讀的每一個詞組單詞數量越多，就可以讀得越快！
Habit 2： Sub-vocalization【默讀】
This is the habit of pronouncing each word in your head as you read it. Most people do this to some extent or another. When you sub-vocalize you “hear” the word being spoken in your mind. This takes much more time than is necessary because you can comprehend a word much quicker than you can say it.
Solution：
To turn off the voice in your head you have to first acknowledge【承認】 that you do it （how did you read the first part of this article？） and then you have to practice not doing it. When you sit down to read， tell yourself that you will not sub-vocalize. You have to practice and practice this until this bad habit is erased【消除】. Reading blocks of words also helps as you can’t “say” a block of words.
Eliminating【消除】 sub-vocalization alone can increase your reading speed by an astounding【令人驚駭的】 amount. Otherwise， you are limited to reading at the same pace as talking which is about 250-350 words per minute. If you are an efficient scanner， you may increase this rate to between 400 and 500 words per minute. The only way to break through this barrier【障礙】 is to stop saying the words in your head as you read. If you can train yourself to simply scan the words without thinking about the pronunciation， you will increase your speed significantly.
習慣2：默讀
也就是看書時在大腦裏讀出每個單詞的習慣。大多數人或多或少都會這樣做。默讀時，你在腦海中“聽到”被讀出聲的單詞，這樣會花掉很多不必要的時間，因為理解一個單詞要比將它說出來快得多。
糾正方案：
要消除大腦中的聲音，首先你必須意識到自己會那樣做（你是怎樣閱讀本文的第一部分的呢？），然後要練習如何戒除。當你坐下來閱讀時，告訴自己不要默讀。你必須不斷練習，直到把這個壞習慣改掉。閱讀語塊也很有效，因為你不可能同時“說”一堆單詞。
