My Forever Valentine（情人节）
The traditional holidays in our house when I was a child were spent timing elaborate meals around football games. My father tried to make pleasant chitchat
and eat as much as he could during halftime. At Christmas he found time to have a cup or two of holiday cheer and don his holly-shaped bow tie. But he didn't truly shine until Valentine's Day.
I don't know whether it was because work at the office slowed during February or because the football season was over. But Valentine's Day was the time
my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly thought of him as my \Valentine Man.\
My first recollection of the magic he could bring to Valentine's Day came when I was six. For several days I had been cutting out valentines for my c
lassmates. Each of us was to decorate a \ts contents ushered in a succession of
bittersweet memories of my entrance into a world of popularity contests marked by the number of cards received, the teasing about boyfriends/girlfriends a
nd the tender care I gave to the card from the cutest boy in class. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift
wrapped package at my chair. The card was signed \
a small piece of red glass to represent my birthstone, a ruby. There is little difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember wearing
that ring with a pride that all the cards in the world could not surpass.
As I grew older, the gifts gave way to heart-shaped boxes filled with my favorite chocolates and always included a special card signed \
those years my thank-yous became more of a perfunctory response. The cards seemed less important, and I took for granted the valentine that would always
be there. Long past the days of having a \rds and gifts from \

and \
If my father knew then that he had been replaced, he never let it show. If he sensed any disappointment over valentines that didn't arrive for me, he just
tried that much harder to create a positive atmosphere, giving me an extra hug and doing what he could to make my day a little brighter.
My mailbox eventually had a rural address, and the job of anddelivering candy and cards was relegated to the U.S. Postal Service. Never in ten years was my father's package late
nor was it on the Valentine's Day eight years ago when I reached into the mailbox to find a card addressed to me in my mother's handwriting.
It was the kind of card that comes in an inexpensive assortment box sold by a child going door-to-door to try to earn money for a school project. It
was the kind of card you used to get from a grandmother or an aging aunt or, in this case, a dying father. It was the kind of card that put a lump in your
throat and tears in your eyes because you knew the person no longer was able to go out and buy a real valentine. It was a card that signaled this would be the last you would receive from him.
The card had a photograph of tulips on the outside, and on the inside my mother had printed \Day.\ legible handwriting, was \
His final card remains on my bulletin board today. It's a reminder of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to
know that I had a father who continued a tradition of love with a generosity of spirit, simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never die, nor does the memory of a man who never stopped being my valentine. (700 words)

三、训练眼睛运动
在阅读过程中，眼睛的运动是跳跃式前进的，而不是像一般认为的那样扫过或略过字行。眼睛从一点移到另一点的时候，我们看不到任何东西。只有当眼睛固定或停顿时我们才能阅读。
据统计，普通大学生的眼睛每秒钟停顿四次。阅读水平较高者，每秒钟可达五次。对于普通读者而言，每一次停顿，其视幅(eye span)一般为1.1个单词，即每一次停顿可认出l.1个单词；优秀的读者，每次停顿的视幅约为2.7个单词。因此，理论上说普通读者的阅渎速度可达到每分钟264个单词，而优秀的读者可达到每分钟810个单词(此标准是对操本族语的读者而言的)。
但在实际的阅读中，由于各种因素如语言水平、文章难度、理解能力、词汇量等的影响，一般读者达不到理论上的水平。但普通读者的阅读速度是一定能够通过自己的努力和有意识的训练而提高的。这里关于眼睛运动提高阅读速度方面有三点建议：一，扩大视幅。在目光盯住一个单词时，要注意用眼睛的余光延及中心词两边的单词：二，缩短停顿的时间，增多停顿的次数。三，当眼睛到达一行的末尾时，快速移到下一行的开始部分，这样也可以节约时间．提高速度。
下面的文章用来帮助你提高眼睛移动的速度，如果你能在规定的时间内读完并回答后面的问题，那么说明你的阅读速度正在迅速提高。
练习一将出现15秒，它是根据短语划分的段落，刚来训练快速移动你的眼睛。试着在眼睛停止一次时看完一个短语。眼睛快速地从上往下逐行移动，每行只停顿一次。阅读后回答后面的问题。 (1)
