Copenhagen is a city full of fairy tales(童话故事). If you want to explore it, you have to spend a long time and walk slower to enjoy yourself. Copenhagen was the first city to have streets for walkers only. The city has less traffic noise and pollution than any other European capital.

Walking along the river banks, you'll see Amalienborg Palace first. The king’s family is living there.

Churches and castles show us the original(最初的)city. Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in 1445. But fires in 1728 and 1795 completely destroyed(摧毁)the old wooden buildings. Much of what we see today dates back to(追溯到)the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Keep going, and you’ll see the Christiansborg Palace. The town of Copenhagen began there. Then you will see Nyhavn(尼哈芬),a waterway, which was dug in 1673. When you see it, you’ll understand why Hans Christian Andersen made this beautiful waterway his home. Nyhavn is a peaceful and wonderful place. You'll usually see some rich people walk along here.

If you walk there, you can enjoy the old trees, the colorful lights and the beautiful gardens.

You might feel as if you were in a fairy tale.

Do you still have any of these problems when you are reading ?

If you move your lips(嘴唇) while reading silently, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while your are reading. Then if your lips move, you will know it and you can stop them.

If you point to words with your finger as you read, hold the two sides of the book, one side with your left hand, and the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have any fingers to use in pointing while reading.

If you move your head from side to side as you read, put your chin(下巴) in one hand, and hold your head.

If you read no more than one or two words at a time, you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance(一瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

You can learn to read even faster. Read in thought groups(意群) and force（强迫）your eyes move along the lines of words as fast as you can. Anyone who practices doing these will be able to read fast.
