重燃人们快速阅读的兴趣

Spritz says its studies show people who were reading 250 words a minute sped up to reading 400 words a minute after using Spritz for 20 minutes with no loss in comprehension.

Spritz说，其研究显示，在使用该应用20分钟之后，每分钟阅读250词的人速度提高到了每分钟400词，同时理解程度没有降低。

Can you really boost your reading speed so much so quickly? Going from 250 to 400 isn't beyond the realm of possibility, says Dr. Masson. But in general, comprehension gets worse the faster people read, he says.

真的可以这么快地提高阅读速度吗？梅森博士说，从250词提高到400词并非不可能。但他说，从总体上讲，读得越快，理解程度越低。

In a 1987 seminal study on speed reading, Dr. Masson tested the text comprehension of three groups: people reading at a normal speed (about 240 words a minute); people skimming at 600 words a minute; and people who had taken an Evelyn Wood course and read through the text at 700 words a minute. (The three groups read on a TV monitor.)

在1987年的一次开创性研究中，梅森博士测试了三组人的文字理解程度。一组以正常速度阅读（约每分钟240词），一组以每钟600词略读，还有一组曾经参加伊夫琳·伍德的课程，以每分钟700词的速度阅读。（三组人都是在电视屏幕上阅读。）

The skimmers and speed-readers did much worse at answering comprehension questions afterward, especially ones about specifics or technical material. 'One can have the impression of being able to immediately identify what those words are, but if they are going by at such a high rate, it's virtually impossible' to come away with coherent ideas from the text, Dr. Masson says.
