They say that if you didn’t have monopoly, you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do. Well, I don’t think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized.W: Do you think that’s a good thing Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalizedM: Oh I think so, yes.

There is no question about that.W: So what are you saying then Is it if the railways happen to be nationalized, they would simply have disappearedM: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion pounds a year. The German railways, 2 billion pounds a year. But you see, those governments are preparing to pour money into the transport system to keep it going.W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes.

To make his pupils over the period is the purpose of the teacher, in which each printed symbol stands for a certain shape, and tries to get a goal that the pupil reads words and phrases for their meaning, rather than noticing the shapes of the separate letters.When focusing on work, an excellent reader does not look at letters, nor even at words one by one; instead, he looks through the meaning of two, three, or four words at one time, in a short time. To concentrate the eyes of a person who is reading, you will find that they do not go through smoothly along the lines of print, but jump over the parts which they are not interested in. The eyes of a very excellent reader move rapidly, taking long jumps and making very short intervals(停顿): in contrast, an awful reader’s eyes move more slowly, there are only short jumps and he stops longer at each interval. When he confronts a problem, he even chooses to turn back to see again what he has already read before.Therefore, the teacher’s task is clear: training his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one eye-jump) and avoid going backwards to read something one more time.This indicates that, it is wrong to use the finger pointing to the word, reading letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable, or word-by-word, carefully staring at each one in turn. The reason why it is improper is that such a method draws the pupil’s eyes down to a very short jump, and the goal is to train for the long jump. Furthermore, a very short jump is not enough to provide any meaning or sense: and it is true that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again so as to get the meaning of the whole phrase he reads. Perhaps people have to read something again if()

A. reading word by word
B. reading too fast
C. the passage is rather long
D. there is much more noise
