Reading is the key to school success， and like any skill， it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly， correctly， without thinking. Tennis players call that being in the zone. Educators call it automaticity (自动性).
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and get the meanings of the words. With practice， he speaks with fewer and fewer pauses and mistakes， reading by the phrase. With automaticity， he doesn’t have to think about getting the meanings of the words， so he can pay attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in an Illinois school， Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found automatic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade， the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others， and still outscoring them on correctness， comprehension and vocabulary.
It’s not IQ but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to automaticity， according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books， magazines or newspapers will most probably reach automaticity. At home where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television， it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.
You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud ― something unfamiliar but suitable to his age. If he reads aloud with expression， with a sense of the meaning of the sentences， he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads hesitatingly (停顿地)， one word at a time without expression or meaning， he needs more practice.

Confucius was born five hundred and fifty years before Christ. Unlike Jesus Christ， he did not bring words of God to the people. He was a clever teacher and a philosopher， looking for truth and wisdom. Most of his teaching was about life in this world.
Confucius was very keen to give people good rulers. Someone asked him，” What does a country need?” Confucius answered， “Enough food， a good army， and a good leader.” The people then asked， “Which one is the most important?” Confucius answer， “An army is not very important. All men must die， so food is not the most important. But if the leader of the country is not good， then everything will be bad.”
