If you are reading this article in class，you are probably trying to read it quickly．You have been taught to skim and scan，to look for key words so as to understand the main idea and the important points in the article．Skimming and scanning is a good way when you are taking an exam．But，today，many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading．

Now something called the“slow reading movement”has become popular．The idea is that

people should shut off their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasures of reading a good book-slowly! In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a caf6，sit quietly，drink coffee and just read．

Researchers have found that reading slowly helps people concentrate and relax．Reading，of course，isn’t easy．You have to sit still，for one thing．And it can seem boring when compared to the excitement of playing video games．But，for me，reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life．From the age of ten，when I got my first library card，I've enjoyed thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life．Reading helped me to understand the world around me．It was an education in a classroom that had no walls．

In your classroom．you have learned to read“fast”．Outside the classroom。you should try to learn to read“slow”．You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it．

【阅读表达】

More and more students want to study in“hot” majors．As a result，many students give up their interests and study in those areas such as foreign languages，international business and law，etc．Fewer and fewer students choose scientific majors，such as maths，physics and biology，and art majors，like history，Chinese and philosophy．Only a few students can study in these“hot’’majors because the number of these“hot”majors is limited(有限的)．

If one has no interest in his work or study，how can he do well? I learned this from one of my

classmates．He is from the countryside．His parents are farmers．Though he likes biology，he chose international business．He wants to live a life which is different from that of his parents．

In the end，he found he was not interested in doing business．He found all the subjects tiresome．Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if he had chosen his major according to his own interest．Choosing a major in university does not decide one’s whole life．Majors which are not“hot”today may become the‘‘hot’’majors of tomorrow．Choosing your major according to

your own interest is the best way to succeed．

1．According to the text．what are the“hot”majors today?

2．Why can’t many students study in the“hot”majors?

3．If you have a chance to choose，will you choose the“hot”majors? Why or why not?
