In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Reading at different paces helps you read both efficiently and quickly. Some articles will be more complicated than others. Read fluffier material quickly, and slow your pace when you reach something more complicated.  Some articles can be skimmed or read very quickly. A local interest story about a new restaurant, for example, is probably not very complex. You can breeze through this article quickly and still learn most of the necessary information. An article that's covering, say, a recent political debate is probably more complex. You will have to slow your pace to read articles of this nature. Even though you are reading slowly here, you will still get through the paper faster having skimmed less complicated articles. News can be a bit redundant. Sometimes, information will appear in more than one section. For example, an op-ed about a current event may include facts you already read in an article. Another article may contain basic information about ongoing current events you already know.  If you start reading something that sounds familiar, skim or skip over the paragraph. If an entire article seems like information you already know, it's okay to skip it. If you read news online or watch the news, information in a newspaper may be repetitive. Many people have a tendency to talk to themselves when reading. You may whisper the words out loud as you read them in your head. This habit can actually greatly slow down your reading pace.  Pay attention to your mouth when you read. Try to be aware of mouthing the words out loud. If you catch yourself whispering or talking, stop. You will finish the paper quicker if you're not talking out loud. You may also find you're talking to yourself silently in your head while you read. You may be repeating the words in your head a second time or adding commentary. Try to silence your internal monologue when you're reading. Contrary to what many believe, reading a phrase over and over again does not improve comprehension. It can also slow down your reading speed. If you're reading a complex article, it's more effective to slow down and read carefully. This will get the job done quicker and help you better retain the information.
Summary: Vary your reading speed. Skim or skip over information you already know. Do not talk to yourself when you read. Avoid re-reading phrases.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Many motorcycles, especially older or less expensive models, do not have modern fuel injection systems. If you aren't sure, you can tell by looking for a choke control. It is normally located on the left handlebar, above the horn. Carbureted motorcycles have a choke, but fuel-injected bikes do not. You should have plenty of gas and a well-charged battery. It is important to keep the motorcycle properly serviced, particularly in damp or cold conditions. Fit new spark plugs, or, if not worn, clean and gap the old ones. Check the ignition timing, and adjust if necessary; if fitted, have the ignition points replaced. A carburetor service and clean is also a great idea.  Replace the spark plug leads if they look old, worn, or frayed. Use only manufacturer-recommended spark plugs and plug leads – look for the reference in your motorcycle's handbook. Put in the key and turn the key clockwise until the lights turn on. If the lights does not turn on, that usually means the battery is dead and you need to recharge it or install a new one.
Summary: Determine whether you have a carburetor-based or fuel-injected motorcycle. Make sure that the motorcycle is in working condition. Check the battery.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before trimming your ear hair, make sure to clean wax or other debris out of your ears. Mix a salt water solution using a ratio of one teaspoon of salt per ½ cup (4 oz.) of water. Dip a clean Q-tip into the salt water and gently clean the immediate ear area (exterior to the ear canal) and the crevices at the top of the outer ear. To avoid cheap, ineffective trimmers as well as needlessly overpriced ones, opt for a mid-range model of ear hair trimmer (approximately $30-$50) . Look for a model with a rotary blade system and skin guard, which will prevent the blades from cutting your ears while you trim. If you are a frequent traveller, opt for a more lightweight trimmer that comes with a handy travel case. Most models of ear hair trimmers are battery-operated, so consider investing in rechargeable alkaline batteries and a charger. Choose a room with bright lighting (e.g. the bathroom) to trim your ear hair in. If possible, use a magnified mirror to see the ear hair that you want to trim as clearly as possible. While your fine ear hair might be invisible to you from some angles, it may be visible to people around you! Make sure your ear hair trimmer fits comfortably into your ear canal and make sure that you don’t have to apply any force to insert it. Turn the trimmer on and gently move it over your ear hair to remove it. Stop and check your progress every minute or two to decide if you like the results.
Summary:
Clean your ears with a salt water solution. Purchase an ear hair trimmer. Set up in a well-lit area. Gently trim your ear hair.
