Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there is too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.

Preview—if it is long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general (笼统的) idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here is how to preview.

Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.

Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.

Previewing does not give you all the information. It keeps you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.

Skim — if it is short and easy. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your everyday paper.

Here is how to skim.

Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.

Pick up only a few key words in each line.

Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same article, but we will get a similar idea of what it is all about.

1.How many skills are there in this passage?

A.One. B.Two. C.Three D.Four.

2.What does the underlined word “Skim” mean?

A.Reading slowly. B.Reading loudly.

C.Reading quickly. D.Reading carefully.

3.According to the passage, we should not __________ when we read sports news in an everyday paper.

A.read the last two paragraphs carefully B.get our eyes to move fast

C.sweep our eyes across each line D.pick up only a few key words in each line

4.Which of the following is WRONG?

A.If the article is easy, you can skim.

B.There are many ways to read more in less time.

C.By previewing, you can get all the information of the passage.

D.Everybody skims differently, but we will get a similar idea of what it is about.

5.What’s the best title for this passage?

A.How to read fast B.Where to read

C.When to read D.Why we should read

Invitations are important. They help us to make and to keep good relationships.

When people accept an invitation to a dinner or party, they will ask what they can bring. Adults (成年人) often take flowers, chocolates, or a bottle of wine to say “thank you”. People usually take a birthday present to a birthday party. Teenagers and children often take some candy, cookies or computer games to share with their friends. Teenagers also take CDs of their favorite kinds of music with them.
