The activity got the support of many Chinese stars. The "book-dropping movement," however won little praise. Instead, the movement caused much criticism (批评).Some books were left untouched. Around the underground, passengers thought the books were left there to save the seats. Some books were taken away by cleaners. People also complained that they couldn't get to the booksthe trains and buses were too crowded.The movement led to a hot debate.Most people thought it could do little to encourage reading. "I think the best result is that people take photos when they pick up the books and write a post in We Chat. After that, they will just bring the books back home and place them on their bookshelves," wrote one Weibo user.Some pointed out that the Chinese stars who supported the movement didn't seem to be reading much. Isn't it embarrassing (尴尬)that the movement is supported by stars who don't read a lot?Murong Xuecun is a famous Chinese writer. He thought the book-sharing movement was not at all a bad thing, "In the past years, the Chinese economy (经济)has been developing rapidly. Everybody is busy with work. They don't have time for reading," said Murong.

But which one is better? The quick reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down to read instructions carefully. He may read so quickly that he does not take time to understand fully the ideas and information which are important to remember. The slow reader may be a good reader. But he may spend altogether too much time reading a simple story which is meant to be enjoyed but is not important enough to be remembered. So you see, neither the reader who reads everything quickly nor the one who reads everything slowly is really a good reader. Here are four important things to remember about the speed of reading:Knowing why you are reading will often help you to know whether to read quickly or slowly.Some things should be read slowly throughout (彻J氐地).Examples are instructions for making or doing something, math problems, science and storybooks which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.Some things should be read quickly throughout. Examples are simple stories for enjoyment, letters from friends, and bits of news from hometown papers.In some of your reading, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along. You will need to read certain pages quickly and then slow down and do more careful reading when you come to important ideas.(1) Which is better, reading slowly or reading quickly?A. Reading slowly B.
