Some people read very rapidly(快速地)，while others read very slowly. But which one is better?

The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions carefully. He may read so rapidly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember.
The slow reader may be a good reader when he reads directions for making something. But he may spend too much time in reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered.
So, you see, either a rapid reader or a slow reader is not really a good one. If you wish to become a better reader, here are four important things to remember about speed of reading.
1 Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly. 2 Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, science and history books, and Maths problems. You must read such things slowly or remember each important step and understand each important idea.
3 Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends and bits of news from hometown papers.
4 In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.
（1）Instruction books should be read . A . slowly B . rapidly
C . either rapidly or slowly D . neither rapidly nor slowly （2）What should be read rapidly?
A . Directions for making something. B . Maths problems.
C . Science and history books.
D . Storybooks, newspapers, personal letters, etc.
（3）What is the important thing you should keep in mind about speed of reading? A . To read as fast as you can.
B . To fit your reading speed to your needs. C . To read as slowly as possible.
D . To keep your reading at a certain speed. （4）Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?

18. （10分）阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Can your body work like batteries? Scientists have found a way to make power. They use nothing but movement of the human body.
According to a team of scientists from Georgia, America, anything from walking to a standing heartbeat can produce certain energy. Then it will be caught and used by the nanogenerators (纳米发电机). The nanogenerator at a meeting of the American Chemical Society, showed how a small chip (芯片) with millions of small wires could use the human heart to make power. The wires are 500 times thinner than a human's hair. The scientists used a nanogenerator to provide power for a light and a LCD screen. Any kind of body movement can be used to produce power, and nanowires can also make electricity when wind blows，car runs and so on. It is not new, but scientists are trying to make it perfect. Scientists believe it has a future. \few volts (伏特) may not seem like much, it has grown fast, \the project's lead scientist, Zhong Lin Wang (Z. L. Wang). According to him, if more nanowires and more nanogenerators are put together, they can produce enough energy for powering larger electronics, such as an ipod or a cell phone.
（1）Why can our body produce electricity? A . Because our hair can make power. B . Because we have strong hearts. C . Because nanogenerators can catch us.
D . Because nanogenerators can use our movement to make power. （2）According to the passage, which one is NOT true? A . A human's hair is 500 times thinner than the small chip. B . Our movement can be used to produce power. C . Nanowires can make electricity when wind blows.
D . The nanogenerators can provide power for a light and a LCD Screen. （3）Where is the scientist Zhong Lin Wang from? A . Beijing, China. B . Georgia, the UK. C . Georgia, USA.
