：曾经有一份真诚的爱情放在我面前，我没有
珍惜，等失去的时候我才后悔莫及，人世间最痛苦的事莫过如此。你的剑在我的咽喉上割下去吧！不要再犹豫了！如果上天能够给我一个再来一次的机会，我会对那个女孩子说三个字“我爱你”，如果非要在这个爱上加个期限，我希望是一万年。

诚地劝我要好好学习，但我没有重视。直到拿到一个末流大学录取通知书时才后悔莫及！对我来说尘世间最痛苦的事莫过如此。如果上天能给我再来一次的机会，我会对家长和老师说“我要好好学习”，如果必须给学习加上一个，我希望是每天25小时。

重视，只知道“60分万岁”。直到工作后发现自己几乎是一无所知才后悔莫及。尘世间最痛苦的事莫过如此。如果上天能给我再来一次的机会，我会对老师说“我要好好学习”，如果必须给学习加上一个，我希望是一天25小时。

一、速读的重要性二、提高阅读速读的方法
1、纠正一目一词的阅读方法，训练成组视读例句：Doyoumindmyopeningthedoor?
Doyoumind
myopeningthedoor?
2、训练成组视读的方法
1）抄一些常用词组或具有一定意义的意群，每行一组（2~4词），每页由80~100词的词组构成。
3）用卡片的孔套住第一组词，然后迅速向下移动，在每组词上停1秒左右。
这样用40秒左右的时间就可把一页读完。
2）将一卡片挖一长方形孔（能露出最长的词组为宜）。
方法二：将短文划成小意群，按意群来读。随阅读速度的提高，意群可越来越大，最后将几个较小的成分划成一个大的意群。
、视读组的划分方法1）短小句子
对于5~6个词以内的句子，可以作为一个视读单位。It‟sfine.I‟dliketo.
Canmachinethink?Howcanitbe?2）短语
如果一个句子的主语、谓语、宾语、定语和状语均是由多个词构成的，则可将每个成分作为一个视读单位。Johnandhismenhavesolvedthemostdifficultproblem.
Manymanmadesubstancesarereplacingcertainnaturalmaterialsinourlife.
）主、谓式
当主语只有1~2个词组成时，可将其与谓语合并构成一个视读单位。
ItwasbroughttoSpain.Belltaughtataschoolthere.4）分离谓语
当组成谓语的两个词（助动词、情态动词与实义动词）之间有其它词插入时，应将插入词一起看作一个视读单位。
Didyouthinkthathemightcallonus?Youngmanshouldnotbestandingidle.Thelasertechnologyhasbeengreatlydevelopedinindustry.
）谓宾式
当宾语较短时，可将其与谓语合并构成一个视读单位。Thecomputerdisplaysaquestiononthescreen.Thetwostudentstrieditagainandagain.6）谓状式
不及物动词与其后接的状语可合并成一个视读单位。Whentheirmoneyranouttheyaskedsomebusinessmentohelpthem.7）系表式
系动词可与表语一起看作一个视读单位。Fourtimesfourissixteen.
）复合宾语
将宾语与宾补看作一个视读单位。Theyfoundthecontainerempty.
Weconsidercoppertohavegreaterconductivity.9）从句
较短的从句看作一个视读单位；较长的从句可再细分为多个视读单位。
Thinkoftheendbeforeyoubegin.Wherethereisawill,thereisaway.
Ihopeyou’llsucceed.
，另一方面也可
以改善理解能力。随训练水平的提高，可以逐渐把两个以上的意群合并在一起，从而大大加快阅读速度。然而，如果一个句子中的某一成分过长的话，也可将其分成几个视读单位。
以下是几个练习的例子：
