• 8．If you are a student，you may be probably required by your teacher to read quickly in class.You have been taught to skim or scan，to look for key words so as to understand the meaning of the article and the important points in the article.
     Skimming and scanning is a good strategy （策略） when you are taking an exam，but today，many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.
     In response to this，something called the "slow reading movement" has become popular.The idea is that people should shut off mobile phones for half an hour each day and enjoy the pleasure of reading a good book slowly!In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a cafe，not to discuss books ，but to sit quietly with each other，drinking coffee and just reading.
     Researchers have found that reading slowly，especially books of fiction，helps people concentrate，relax and think about what they are reading.It also helps people empathize （產生共鳴）.This last point is important.When you read a novel slowly，you get to understand the character emotions and to see the world.
     In your classroom，you have learned to read fast.Outside of the class room，you should try to learn to read slowly.You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
  （1）Where may students be probably required by their teacher to read quickly？
  

  
  （2）What is a good strategy for reading when students are taking an exam？
  

  
  （3）How long should people shut off mobile phones each day to enjoy the pleasure of reading a good book slowly？
