训练1 说明文(一)A
There are certain steps you can take to relieve the damage done by some of the previously mentioned reading problems.__1__Be sure to use and practice them as you read.
Take breaks.
Remember tiredness can lead to all of the health problems and to other problems as well.If you do not rest your mind，you will likely get tired and it will cost you points.
__2__
You can mark your place either by pointing to each word as you read it，or by placing a sheet of paper underneath the line you are reading.Pointing to each word with a pencil or your finger helps your eyes see where they should be reading.Placing a piece of paper under the line helps you to move smoothly from one line to the next.
Read aloud.
__3__ If you must remain silent，whisper the words to yourself，or mouth the words，and say them in your head.It is important that you actually hear the sounds，even if you only hear them in your imagination.This multisensory approach allows you to see，hear，and feel what you are reading.Reading aloud should help you stay focused，understand better and remember what you are reading.
