毕业论文工作文件(三)
英文文献的引用方法与格式 -- APA 格式
所 谓 APA 格 式 是 指 美 国 心 理 学 会 (American Psychological Association) 所 出 版 的 出 版 手 册
(Publication Manual) 中,有关投稿该协会旗下所属二十九种期刊时必须遵守的规定而言。 学术界通称为
APA 格式。APA 引证格式由两部分组成:论文中的文献引用与论文后面的参考文献。必须注意的是,参
考文献部份与文献引用部份息息相关,引用过的文献必须出现在参考文献中,而且参考文献中的每一项文
献都被引用过,两者的作者姓氏以及发表年代也必须完全一致。
一、文献引用 (Citation in Text)
文献引用的目的,一方面是帮助读者进一步直接查阅有关文献的内容,另一方面是尊重与保障他人的
知识产权。文献引用的方式主要有两种,一种是在行文当中直接引用作者姓氏,如:Widdowson (1978) has
claimed that native speakers can better understand ungrammatical utterances with accurate vocabulary
than those with accurate grammar and inaccurate vocabulary. 另一种是直接引用研究的结果或论点,如:
Communicative methods have the common goals of bringing language learners into closer contact with
the target language (Stern, 1981). APA 文献引用的格式主要有下列几种,分述如下:
(一) 作者为一个人时
例 1:Stahl (1983) has demonstrated that an improvement in reading comprehension can be attributed to an
increase in vocabulary knowledge.
[注:若行文中提到作者姓氏,用此例所示格式引用]
例 2:
During the period of Grammar Translation methodology, bilingual dictionaries became common as reference
tools (Kelly, 1969). [注:行文中未提到作者姓氏,用此例所示格式引用;句子本身的标点符号位于括号的
后面。]
例 3:…, the ability to use etymology was respected as “one way of discovering truth” (Kelly, 1969, p. 30). [注:
若行文中有直接引语,须标明引语在原文中的页码,圆括号位于句号之前。如果直接引语跨越两页(或
以上),需用“pp.”;如“(Kelly, 1969, pp. 30-31)”]
如果直接引语超过 40 个词,所引用的材料须单列一段,左右两边内缩三到五个字符,不用双引号;用来
标注引证的圆括号位于引证材料本身的标点符号后面。
例 4:It follows, then, that vocabulary, as a bearer of meaning, is considered by the Natural Approach to be very
important to the language acquisition process:
Acquisition depends crucially on the input being comprehensible. And comprehensibility is
dependent directly on the ability to recognize the meaning of key elements in the utterance. Thus,
acquisition will not take place without comprehension of vocabulary. (Krashen & Terrell, 1983,
p.155) [注:此例的前两行是论文作者的叙述,其余是直接引语。因超过 40 个词,用此格式。]
(二) 作者为两人或两人以上时
1. 作者为两人时,两人的姓氏全列。
例 5:Ulijin and Strother (1990) claim that “while a complete conceptual and lexical analysis may be necessary for
reading comprehension, a thorough syntactic analysis is not” (p. 38). [注:页码标记在直接引语的后面。 请比
较此例与例 3 的不同。此次论文写作不采纳:Ulijin and Strother (1990, p. 38) claim that “while …” 的引证格
式。]
例 6:Readers tend to disregard information that seems unimportant, add information that ‘should’ be there, and
focus their attention on what, in their opinion, is essential (Steffensen & Joag-Dev, 1984).
[注:行文中两人的姓
氏用“and”连接(例 5),在圆括号内用“&” 连接(此例)。]
2. 作者为三至六人时,第一次所有作者均列出,第二次以后只写出第一位作者,并加“et al.”。
例 7:According to Ostny, Vandecasteele, Deville, and Kelly (1987), indispensable conditions for reading
in L2 are understanding the text’s words and the knowledge of its subject matter. [注:行文中提到作
者,按此例引证。]
例 8:Indispensable conditions for reading in L2 are understanding the text’s words and the knowledge of its
subject matter (Ostny, Vandecasteele, Deville, & Kelly, 1987). [注:行文中没有提到作者,按此例引证。]
例 9:According to Ostny et al. (1987), indispensable conditions for reading in L2 are understanding the text’s
words and the knowledge of its subject matter. [注:第二次引证同一著作,按此例格式引证。]
3. 作者为六人以上时,仅列第一位作者并加“et al.”,但在参考文献中要列出所有姓名。
4. 如果两部著作的第一作者和出版年份都相同,那么就要写出第二作者。如果第二作者也相同,就要写
出第三作者,以此类推,直到可以将两个条目区分开来:
(Vollrath, Foote et al.,1992)...(Vollrath, Smith et al.,1992).
而如果两部著作的出版年份不同,则仍然只写第一作者即可:
(Vollrath, et al.,1992)... (Vollrath, et al.,1993).
5. 如果所引用的作者有两人或更多人同姓,那么即使出版年份不同也要用缩略首字母予以区分:
R.Dawkins (1986) and M.S. Dawkins(1980) contributed to an understanding of consciousness in animals.
(三) 作者为组织、团体、或单位时
1. 易产生混淆的单位、每次均用全名。
2. 在不产生误会的情况下,第二次以后可用缩写,但在参考文献中一律要写出全名。
例 10:Proficiency level is based on the ACTEF scale developed by the American Council on the Teaching of
Foreign Languages (1980). [注:此例中的“the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages”为一
团体。]
(四) 未标明作者(如法令、报纸社论)时
1. 未标明作者的著作,正文中的圆括号内应将标题缩略写出。在正文中和在圆括号内,标题的所有实词
和四个字母以上的介词均首字母大写,这点与参考文献的格式不同。著作和期刊名用斜体,章节和文章用
双引号:
例 11: The National Endowment for the Humanities supports “theoretical and critical studies of the arts” but not
work in the creative or performing arts(Guidelines, 1994, p.1).
[注:在此例中,书名“Guidelines”作为引证标
注。]
例 12:Changes in the Medical College Admissions Test to begin in 1991 are expected to encourage more students
to pursue general studies in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences (“New Exam,” 1989). [注:在
此例中,章名“New Exams”作为作者用做引证标注。]
2. 既无标题也没有作者的用“Anonymous”一词代替作者名。
例 13:(Anonymous: 1925). [注:在此例中,用“Anonymous”后接作品年份用做引证标注。]
3. 私人电子邮件需标明邮件日期:
例 14:G.R. Bell elaborated his earlier comments...(personal communication by E-mail, May 19, 1995).
(五) 间接引用 (secondary citation)
例 15:“Visionary urban planning will help solve the problems experienced by many large cities” (Trigar 1998,
cited in Blutstein, 1999, p.22). [注:在此例中,论文作者引用了 Trigar 的观点,但材料来源是 Blutstein 的著
作。在这种情况下,参考文献中对应的条目应该是 Blutstein 的作品。]
二、参考文献 (References)
参考文献中的条目先英文后中文;英文部分按作者姓氏的英文字母顺序排列;中文部分按作者姓氏的拼音
顺序排列。参考文献中不要用“1、2、3 ...”一类的序号标记。下面是学术论文中各种常用的参考文献的撰
写格式。
(一)书籍
1.未标明作者或编者时
Merriam-Webster’s collegiate dictionary (10th ed.). (1993). Springfield, MA: Merriam Webster. [注:书名用斜
体,只有第一个词的首字母大写,其它(专有名词除外)均为小写;下同。“Springfield, MA”为出版地点,
Merriam Webster 为出版商。]
2.作者为一人时
Baddeley, A. D. (1999). Essentials of human memory. Hove, England: Psychology Press. [注:作者的姓与名须
倒置,即:姓在前,名在后。]
3.作者为两人时
Beck, C. A. J., & Sales, B. D. (2001). Family mediation: Facts, myths, and future prospects. Washington, DC:
American Psychological Association. [注:两个作者的姓与名都倒置,二个作者用“&”连接。书名中
冒号后的第一个词“Facts” 首字母大写,这是因为副标题的第一个词的首字母须大写。
如果条目跨行,
第一行顶格,第二行内缩三至五个字符,如此例所示。]

1. Introduction: speed reading and its training
1.1 Speed reading and its benefits
Reading, one of the four language skills, is the most important way to get knowledge. The strong
reading ability is essential for people to go ahead in this information explosion age. Students have to
read different materials in different subjects to meet graduation requirements; workers have to read
books relevant to their crafts to improve their skills; businessmen have to read various reports to make
better decisions. In daily life, people read newspapers, magazines, stories, etc. to improve the qualities
of their lives. Consequently, they need to read and to do it fast as well.
请注意上一段的段落结构。第一句引入主题,第二句是“Topic Sentence”,其它都是
“supporting sentences”。严谨的结构表明作者清晰的思路。
Speed reading is beneficial. Miller and Steeber (1985) think the best answer to the question “why
do we have to read fast?” should be to save time. A simple arithmetic calculation can illustrate the
benefits of increased reading speed.

In the chart, Fry (1963) assumes that the three kinds of readers read the same books with the
same amount of time every day. A fair reader, with a speed of 250 w.p.m., finishes one and a quarter of a
book in a week, while a good reader, with a speed of 350 w.p.m., goes through one and three quarters of
books. Then, a fair reader reads two books less than the good reader in a month, 24 books in a year, and
240 books in 10 years. What a huge difference! The chart very clearly demonstrates the benefits of
speed reading.
1.2 Training and its feasibility
According to Fry (1963), one of the major methods for improving both speed and comprehension is
to set the students to work through a series of timed reading passages followed by comprehension
questions. He explains that when students are relaxing at home, they do not read as rapidly as they do in
class under test conditions. In one of his experiments, whether the students are high school seniors or
senior management executives, all of their reading speeds, after a ten-week course, can be increased by
an average of 100%. That is to say, the class average roughly doubles.
Secondly, the improvement of speed reading ability has nothing to do with ages or sex. If a student
starts at between 160 and 280 w.p.m., he can end at between 340 and 500 w.p.m. Moreover, training in
one type of reading material can help to improve reading of other types of material, and reading speed
training in one language helps the students to improve their reading in another language. Yu (1988) did
an experiment in China and found that there was no relationship between the improvement of speed
reading ability and the students’ sex or ages. In her opinion, everybody can enhance their reading speed.
注意上一段落中的蓝色文字,它们表示了作者引用了参考文献第七条喻爱菊的著作。因

As shown above, speed training is essential, beneficial, and feasible for everyone. Therefore, it is
significant to explore its theories and training methods. The theories of double abstraction, span of
recognition, the relationship between comprehension and reading speed, reading efficiency and
flexibility explain why reading can be fast without hurting comprehension. And the methods developed on
the basis of these theories, that is, phrase reading, column reading, skimming, scanning and reading
accelerator, can help reader fulfill this purpose. Equipped with the theories and aided with the above
training methods, everyone can increase their reading speed and achieve satisfactory comprehension.
上一段落,即“Introduction”的最后一段,所表达的思想与论点陈述句对应。
2. Theories of speed reading
There are five aspects of the theories of speed reading. A full understanding of them will enable
teachers to produce better training methods adjusting to students’ levels and needs.
2. 1 Double abstraction
English is an alphabetic language. The letters of a word stand for a sound, and the sound in turn
represents an idea. So there is an interesting aspect of reading: the “double abstraction”.
Fry (1963) gives an example. The letters “dog” represents the sound a speaker makes when he
pronounces the word loud. So when one makes the sound “dog”, he is using the sound as a complete
abstraction. When the letter “dog” is printed on a page, another system of symbols is being used: the
system of alphabet symbols. “Hence, a printed word is a group of visual symbols → which stand for a
speech symbol → which stands for an idea” (Fry, 1963, p. 40).
此例为直接引语的引证方法。
In reading, the reader is dealing with two sets of abstractions. However, efficient readers are able
to look at the printed symbols and get the idea directly without going through the sound stage. This way
of reading highly enhances a reader’s reading efficiency.
2.2 Span of recognition
When a good reader is reading, his eyes make a series of short jerky movements. Each time the
eyes stop, a “fixation” is completed, and they see a certain span of material, which is called “the span of
recognition” (Fry, 1963, p.17). Since the fixation-time is constant, the only other variable to increase
reading speed is the amount of material a person sees during a fixation. According to Fry (1963), good
readers actually see two or three words in a fixation, while poor readers see one word or less.
直接引语即使是一个单词或短语 —— 当然这一定是个关键词语 —— 也要标明页码。
When readers see two or three words as a group, they see them as a unit of meaning or a phrase.
Therefore, a reader should look at the inter-relationship of words in such units as phrases, or even in
sentences and paragraphs. Good readers perceive words as groups. As one experiment shows, readers
can raise twice as much as their original reading speeds after taking the training in reading larger units of
language (Fry, 1963).
2.3 Comprehension and reading speed
According to Smith (1982), comprehension is relating visual information to nonvisual information.
The former means the printed information before eyes, and the latter the knowledge we have stored in
the brain to make sense of the visual information. That is to say, to comprehend, readers have to find the
interrelationship between the former knowledge in their brain and the information in front of the eyes.
However, the former knowledge is stored in our “long-term memory” and it is not “constantly accessible”
(Smith, 1982, p.48). We have to tap one of the interrelationships to find that out. Moreover, the previous
knowledge is stored in units of meaning in our brain. So visual information received by the brain in
meaningful units helps it to tap the interrelationship in mind.
In the opinion of Fry (1963), to speed up reading is to read in bigger units of language, like
phrases. Coincidently, it is the way how knowledge is stored in mind. So, when a reader reads in bigger
units, he can easily relate that visual information to his nonvisual information. In other words, he
comprehends more easily. So, reading faster by taking in bigger units of information will help the brain to
comprehend more easily. Thus, to achieve better comprehension, “reading must be fast” (Smith, 1982,
p.38).
文章涉及到阅读理论的方方面面,但作者始终围绕“reading speed”。可见,这篇论文主
题明确、重点突出。
2.4 Reading efficiency and flexibility
A rough measure of reading efficiency might be done by multiplying speed by a comprehension
rate (Fry, 1963). If a reader reads 200 w.p.m. and gets 100% comprehension, his reading is 200 w.p.m.
efficient. If we compare the 70% comprehension with higher comprehension, we can see the relationship
between comprehension and efficiency. For example, a reader who reads 200 w.p.m. with 100%
comprehension gets 200 w.p.m. efficiency. But a reader who reads 400 w.p.m. with 70% comprehension
gets 280 w.p.m. efficiency. We can see that the latter has a higher reading efficiency.
According to McWhorter (1987), “the ability to adjust your reading rate and methods to suit the type
of material you are reading and your purpose for reading is called reading flexibility” (p.5). In our real life,
100% comprehension is rarely demanded. For most reading, we read for ideas, not for specific words
written on the page, and 70% comprehension is acceptable (Fry, 1963). We usually do not need to get a
full comprehension of a story by reading it word by word unless we want to make a critical comment.
Study technique, which students need to master, is to read the material once rapidly and then go back
over it to pick up more necessary details. In other words, the best reading efficiency is not always the
highest; it depends on the reader’s purpose and practical needs. Fry (1963) comments that poor readers
read everything in the same slow speed. They are not flexible in reading.
3. Some factors affecting reading efficiency
3.1 Inefficient eye movement
Most people erroneously believe that they should read word by word. However, this would cause
“tunnel vision” (Mackworth, 1965, P. 67), which is very similar to seeing the world through a narrow paper
tube. The more attention we pay to a single word, the more difficult for us to observe the main idea of the
whole material. In addition, inefficient readers make a lot of regressions. A regression is a backward
movement along a line of print (Fry, 1963). All readers make some regressions, but good readers make
very few, while weak readers make a large number. Sometimes a regression means the reader has
come across a new word or phrase which he does not quite understand and wishes to review. Making a
regression for this purpose is justifiable. But poor readers have a habit of making much more regressions
than they really need. It is possible that this habit was started by the reading material beyond the
reader’s comprehension ability.
3.2 Extra body movement
According to Fry (1963), the muscles of the eye should take the only external movement in efficient
reading. And the extra body movements, such as pointing with the finger, moving the head, or the lips,
often slow down reading speed.
First, head movement is a common fault. This often occurs when students are nervous. When they
are reading, they aim their noses at the words they are reading. However, in fact, eye muscles are quite
capable of shifting the eyes from word to word, and they need no help from neck muscles.
Second, vocalization is also common in inefficient readers. When vocalizing, readers pronounce
aloud each word or whispering softly to themselves. In this situation, their reading speeds are equal to
their speaking speeds. However, silent reading is nearly twice as fast as the speaking speed (Fry, 1963).
So, vocalization can slow down reading.
Besides the obvious movement of lips, tongue or vocal cords, there is a subvocalization that
cannot be observed easily. In subvocalization, the lips, tongue or vocal cords do not move at all. But an
“inner speech” (Fry, 1963, p.14) is persisting: inside the reader’s mind, he is saying each word to himself,
clearly pronouncing each word and then listening to himself.
The extra body movements discussed above are harmful to speed reading and comprehension.
3.3 Previous knowledge
To comprehend, readers have to find the interrelationship between the former knowledge in their
brains and the information in front of the eyes (Smith, 1982). Previous knowledge includes every aspects
of information helping to make sense of the printed visual information, such as vocabulary, syntax, and
background knowledge, etc. The more previous knowledge is stored in brain, the easier for readers to
predict and comprehend. That’s why when readers meet some material beyond their knowledge scope,
they cannot read fast.
3.4 Concentration
If a reader’s mind always wanders about and cannot focus on his reading, he can never read
successfully. In fact, it is not the eyes but the brain that does the reading (Smith, 1982). It takes
concentration to find the interrelated information in mind. Therefore, concentration is important in
reading.
In this part, we have seen some factors affecting reading efficiency. Getting aware of these bad
habits, readers tend to get rid of them and be more efficient in reading.
4. Training methods for reading faster
Base on the theories of fast reading, some training methods can be developed. And since
computers can play some peculiar functions which printed materials cannot, it is necessary to use
computer programs to train speed reading skills.
4.1 Reading by phrases
As it is stated before, good readers are able to get the ideas directly from visual information without
going through the sound abstraction stage. And since they read in larger units of information, their spans
of recognition are winder than slow readers’. Thus, in order to speed up the students’ reading, teachers
have to train their students to drop their sound abstraction and expand their span of recognition. In this
way, phrase reading can help, which requires readers to get a phrases rather than a single word in one
fixation.
First, the teacher can begin training by rewriting a text in the format of cards. Each of them contains
only one phrase, and then the teacher flashes them in front of the students one by one. While cards are
being flashed, students are required to speak out its meaning, not its pronunciation, as quickly as
possible. At first, the speed at which the teacher flashes the cards can be slow, but in later rounds, the
speed should be raised. In this way, students have less and less time to read them, forcing them to drop
the sound abstraction and go directly to the meanings.
Second, after the students get used to the speed of the shorter phrases, teachers should increase
the length of phrases. Similarly, the speed of flashing should be increasingly quicker for each round of
displaying. In this way, students are able to get used to bigger units of language. Consequently, their
spans of recognition are expanded. In the end, the students will be surprised to find that they can finish a
line in much shorter time.
However, there are disadvantages with this method. It takes a huge amount of time to make so
many cards, and the teacher will be very tired after flashing the cards; moreover, it is not easy to control
the speed of flashing accurately, and the students depend largely on the teacher. In this case, a
computer can do a great help.
The Foreign Language Department of Wuyi University (2003) (abbreviated as “FLD” below)
designs two modes of reading by phrases, realized with the aid of a computer. In Mode 1, one phrase
after another of a text shows up and disappears exactly in accordance with the reading speed the user
has chosen. In Mode 2, one phrase of a text is marked by changing its printing color to attract the
reader’s focus, and then it is erased according to the chosen speed. Both the modes force the reader to
get a phrase in one fixation at a set speed.
此例是作者为一集体的引证方法。
We can see that a computer-aided training method is more efficient in training the reader’s eye
span than the human-made cards. It can meet the needs of readers with different reading competence,
and the displaying is very accurate.
4.2 Column Reading
Column reading is also a method for training the eye spanning. This mode of reading is, in real
reading situations, applicable for reading newspapers and magazines. It requires readers to have their
eyes focus on the center of a column and use peripheral vision to get the information on both sides of
each line. Thus, if a reader gets the skill, his eyes can float down the page to get speedily the information
he needs. Of course, this mode of reading is efficient only for browsing the general information contained
in newspapers and magazines.
The computer program designed by FLD (2003) turns the theory into practical training method.
Texts on the computer screen are purposefully made as narrow as a newspaper column, and an arrow
moves down the page in accordance with the chosen speed. The arrow, the focusing point, leads the
reader’s eye to float down the column, so that the reader would have to read by a short line in order to
keep a certain speed. This reading mode assist the reader to use the peripheral vision to speed up
reading by expanding the eye spanning.

4.3 Skimming
Skimming is done “when you do not have much time and when you wish to cover material at the
fastest possible rate” (Zhang, 1999, p.161). “Skimming means a reader reads selectively to get a general
idea of what an article is about” (McWhorter, 1987, p. 55). Generally, to get the main idea, a reader can
read the title, subtitle or introductory byline, introductory paragraph, headings, the first sentence of each
paragraph, the key words like names, numbers, capitalized or italicized words etc.
Reading different types of materials, readers should apply different ways to find the location of
main ideas. Take narrative and exposition for example. The former kind of writing is mostly written in
chronological order, so a reader has to roughly go through the context and find the relevant details like
place, time, characters, etc. But to read expositions, which follow some well-defined structures, readers
can use the knowledge of its organizing pattern to locate the thesis statement and topic sentences
without much difficulty.
According to Fry (1963), the entire skimming exercise should be done “against the clock” (p.56)
and 50% comprehension is acceptable. The easy reading materials which the students have done
before will be helpful in training the technique. As long as the students have some familiarity, they can
begin practicing this reading skill. In his course, students begin at 200 w.p.m. and reach 400 w.p.m. after
skimming training, and they are expected to reaches 800 w.p.m. or better.
4.4 Scanning
“Scanning in reading is a technique for quickly looking through reading matter to locate a
particular piece of information —— a fact, a date, a name, a statistic” (McWhorter, 1987, p. 84).
McWhorter (1987) suggests some steps to scan. First, a reader must be clear what specific information
he is looking for; second, he should check the organization of the material, because different materials
require different approaches of scanning; and third, use a systematic pattern to find the specific
information. For instance, in columnar material, like plane schedules, TV listings, dictionaries, etc., all
sorts of information are represented in lists, tables, columns, schedules or charts; a reader can move his
eyes straight down the middle. However, in prose material, like newspaper, magazine articles, textbooks,
etc., the information is presented in the paragraph form; his eyes may go in the “Z” pattern on the page.
Finally, a reader may identify the likely location with the help of the clue words and confirm the answer.
For example, when you are looking for population, you should find clues, like numbers or word like
“million”.
Once a reader finds the specific information, he finishes the task of scanning. And if a reader gets
the point, the comprehension should reach 100% (Zhang, 1999).

4. 5 Reading accelerator
According to Fry (1963), when a student first increases his reading speed, his comprehension
often drops to some degree. When this occurs, the teacher should ask him to keep the reading speed
and at the same time try to bring comprehension up to normal. When the student succeeds, he should be
encouraged to reader faster. This pattern of training is labeled as “Speeding up → leveling off → speeding
up again” (Fry, 1963, p.35).
This method can be realized in a computer. In a well-designed computer program by FLD (2003),
a text will be erased line by line in accordance with the reading speed the user has chosen, forcing the
user to finish a text at a certain speed. When the fast reading mode comes to an end, comprehension
questions turn up, followed by evaluation and comments on the user’s performance. Since the program
offers a large number of speeds, it can meet various needs. The Fry’s training mode is thus realized in a
computer.
In this part, five training methods of speed reading are discussed, and all of them are greatly
helpful in overcoming the bad habits of reading. Moreover, there are many fast reading training websites
on the internet, but most of them are charged. Students can consider them according to their financial
conditions. Moreover, when a student is facing a computer alone, there is no supervision. Will he reject
the attraction of games? And some people prefer print media to multimedia, because they feel very tired
in front of the screen. So people have to make a choice most suitable for them.
5. Conclusion
This project explores the theories and training methods of speed reading. Speeding up without
hurting comprehension is theoretically valid and methodically feasible. When the time of every fixation is
fixed, the only way to speed up reading is expanding the span of recognition so that bigger units of
information can be taken in for each fixation. Consequently, the visual information received by the eyes
can be effectively handled by the previous knowledge stored in the brain and made sensible, or
comprehended. Various well-designed computer-aided training methods, including phrase reading,
column reading, reading accelerator, can help reader get the skills. skimming and scanning are also
efficient in many a reading situation.
上一段所表达的思想与论点陈述句的意思相同。论文的中心思想在“Introduction”和
“Conclusion”两部分都提到,前呼后应,给读者一种“完整”的感觉。
Although the theories and training methods of speed reading is emphasized in this thesis, students’
diligence should not be ignored. Without patience and diligence, no one can reach their maximum
potential in reading. The good training methods discussed above have paved the way for us to
accelerate our reading speeds with satisfactory comprehension. With persistence and diligence, we will
be fast readers.
