(A) Does Speed Reading Take the Joy Out of Reading?
A common enough remark is that speed reading takes the joy out of reading. However, is this entirely fair? To answer this, we need to look at some of the reasons why we need speed reading.
It should always be in your mind that speed reading is a skill. Actually, it is adopted in certain situations and it's not always necessarily a skill you need to apply every time you read something.
An example, if you are in bed reading the latest novel, it is unlikely that you are going to read fast. The reason： first, you have spent money on it； second, because the atmosphere in which to read is one of relaxation and taking things easy. If we now change the scene to one where we are reading the latest financial report from a company, even if w
e are doing this in bed, the environment has changed. The need and reason why we read in these two scenes is not the same. In the former we relax in comfort. In the latter we are in a professional way. Clearly in the latter, where we want to be done with the reading and off to sleep, we can adapt our speed reading skills and in the former we may choose not to. In other words, speed reading skill is a “horses for courses” skill. Apply them at times when you need to read something really fast, but not when you don't need to.
Furthermore, as your reten tion(记忆) rates are usually better with speed reading, it is often a good idea that you speed reading at times when you have a special need to understand and retain the information. It is far more likely that understanding and retaining the information in the financial report is go-ing to be more beneficial to you, so use your speed reading skills at this time so that you can increase your chances of understanding and retaining.
As you can see then, having the ability to be able to speed reading will al-low you the choice of reading faster, or slower. It's about having choices.
