I couldnt forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldnt read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know youre shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.Momma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “Whats wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasnt easyI was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen. What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Mommas sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ Theres nothing better for heartache than Mommas love baked in a cake.”I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Mommas love. I felt safe in Mommas kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart.The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again.

But which one is better?The rapid reader may be a good reader when he reads a storybook for fun. But he may not be able to slow down enough to read directions(说明) carefully. He may read so rapidly 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 when he reads directions for making something.
