Scientific Speed Reading: How to Read 300% Faster in 20 Minutes 【评：我不确定这是否是可行的。但读文章时，不要一个字一个字看， 这是很重要的；通常以5-7 个词为单位，看中间词，眼睛的余光或边缘 视线，会注意到其他词，这样，速度会提高2 倍左右：以前看5-7 个， 现在只看1-2 个。在中文母语阅读时，这是可行的。在英文中，也可以 尝试。其他方法，也可以适当应用。快速阅读是一种刻意练习，盯着自 己的阅读速度，进行相应的训练。即便不能达到3000 字/分的效果，但 在读陌生的文献时，从100 字/分提升到200-300 字/分的平均速度，还 是很有希望的，能做到400-600 字/分，就好得不得了了。】 How much more could you get done if you completed all of your required reading in 1/3 or 1/5 the time? Increasing reading speed is a process of controlling fine motor movement—period. This post is a condensed overview of principles I taught to undergraduates at Princeton University in 1998 at a seminar called the ―PX Project‖. The below was written several years ago, so it‘s worded like Ivy-Leaguer pompous-ass prose, but the results are substantial. In fact, while on an airplane in China two weeks ago, I helped Glenn McElhose increase his reading speed 34% in less than 5 minutes. I have never seen the method fail. Here‘s how it works… The PX Project The PX Project, a single 3-hour cognitive experiment, produced an average increase in reading speed of 386% . It was tested with speakers of five languages, and even dyslexics were conditioned to read technical material at more than 3,000 words-per-minute (wpm), or 10 pages per minute. One page every 6 seconds. By comparison, the average reading speed in the US is 200-300 wpm (1/2 to 1 page per minute), with the top 1% of the population reading over 400 wpm… If you understand several basic principles of the human visual system, you can eliminate inefficiencies and increase speed while improving retention. To perform the exercises in this post and see the results, you will need: a book of 200+ pages that can lay flat when open, a pen, and a timer (a stop watch with alarm or kitchen timer is ideal). You should complete the 20 minutes of exercises in one session. First, several definitions and distinctions specific to the reading process: A) Synopsis: Y
