If you want to be a better reader, what should you know about the speed of reading? Some people read very quickly and others read very slowly. But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions(说明书) carefully. The slow reader may be a good reader. But he may spend too much time reading a story for fun. So the reader who reads everything quickly or the one who reads everything slowly isn't really a good reader. Knowing why you are reading or what you are reading can help you to know whether(是否)you need to read quickly or slowly. Some things should be read slowly. You must read these things slowly all the time to understand and remember everything important. Examples(例子)are instructions for making or doing something. Also, math books, science and even some storybooks are full of important information. However, some things should be read quickly. Examples are picture-books for enjoyment, letters from friends , and some quick news from newspapers.

In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast. You will need to read some pages quickly and then slow down and do more carefully reading when you come to important ideas. So, knowing when to change your reading speed is one important symbol of being a good reader.

The number of people living in the rainforest is rising,but the rainforest itself is becoming smaller!

During the 20th century,huge areas of rainforests were cut down. More and more people in Brazil and Indonesia moved into rainforest areas to find land for living. Local farmers cut down trees to grow crops(庄稼). Large companies have also moved into the rainforests to develop their factories. 

The problem is that the area of the rainforest is becoming smaller and smaller. Scientists say that destroying (破坏) the rainforest is  the earth and should be stopped. But why?Rainforest plants help to clean the air. What's more,different parts of rainforest plants can be used to produce useful medicines and may be the key to solving serious health problems. 

So how can we solve the problem?Governments can make some rules to protect their forests. Companies can create jobs elsewhere,so that fewer people have to live and work in the rainforests. Farmers are encouraged to plant crops in certain areas,and this helps to stop the soil from being washed away and produces better crops. 

More than half of the plants and animals that live in the rainforest can't be found anywhere else in the world. It is important to make sure that these forests are used well and protected by people.
