An Introduction to Pre-reading

When reading some material, many readers would like to focus on the first line of it and read it through from begin-ning to end. This is not an efficient way of reading. Actually, experienced readers do pre-reading before reading it. Pre-reading is a technique that allows readers to become familiar with the material to be read before beginning to read it thoroughly. 1. It provides readers with a mental outline of the content of the material.

• What is the purpose of pre-reading?

Pre-reading involves getting a quick impression or overview of what you are going to read before beginning to read. It allows you to know about the basic content and organization of the material before you read it.2.

• Why is pre-reading effective?

First, pre-reading helps you to become concentrated on what you will read. Through pre-reading you become interested and involved in the material and get basic information about the content of the article. 3.

Second, pre-reading provides you with a mental outline of the material you are going to read. 4. With this outline already in mind, you are able to read the chapter more easily.

• 5.

You may use the technique of pre-reading before you read any materials, when you read just for an overview of a material, or when you select materials for a specific purpose (e. g. writing a paper, preparing a research report, etc.). Don’t think that pre-reading will waste your time. In fact, you just spend a few minutes on pre-reading, which will help you save a lot of time and make your actual reading fast and easy.

A. When do you apply pre-reading?

B. Does pre-reading waste our study time?

C. The technique involves checking specific parts of an article, a chapter or a book.

D. Thus, you will be able to read faster and follow the author’s thought more easily.

E. You begin to expect the outline of the material and see the relationships of topics.

F. In other words, pre-reading focuses your attention on the content of the reading material.

G. For example, while reading the headings of a chapter, you are forming a mental outline of the chapter.

If you read the news about honeybee survival, it's all very confusing.

The Hoover Institution's Dr. Henry Miller notes “The reality is that honeybee populations are not declining. According to U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization(FAO) statistics,the world's honeybee population rose to 80 million colonies(群落) in 2011 from 50 million in1960.”Meanwhile Jennifer Sass of the Natural Resources Defense Council points out “The number of managed honeybee colonies in the U. S. has dropped from four million hives(蜂群) in 1970 to 2.5 million today.”

Surprisingly, both of these claims are correct. Miller points to the “global” commercial honeybee-hive count, which has grown considerably. Sass points to domestic colony numbers only, which have in fact declined.

Far more bees are farmed for making honey than for pollination(传粉) services. Since more honey is now made overseas than it was in the past, more hives are kept overseas, and fewer in the United States and Europe. And the global number of commercial hives and honey they produce has grown to meet the demands of an expanding world population. Such shifts offer no evidence of a honeybee hive crisis. They simply represent the market forces of supply and demand.

The FAO data also clarify that national or even regional declines in the size of the managed honeybee population cannot prove claims of a global pollinator decline or a pollination crisis. However, it emphasizes that solutions to those problems must be motivated locally, rather than globally.

Solutions will follow only if we take a non-subjective look at the issues, so we can address them appropriately rather than have a crisis mentality. As I highlight in a recent post for The Hill,a big part of the solution lies at the very local level: with the beekeepers, farmers, and communities that surround them.

1.What makes the news confusing?

A.Various species. B.Different affects.

C.Complicated statistics. D.Contradictory conclusions.

2.What contributes to the growth of commercial hives?

A.The claims of the FAO.

B.The shift of honey export.

C.The increasing demands of honey.

D.The more services of pollination.

3.What's the author's attitude to the honeybee population issue?

A.Supportive. B.Objective.

C.Confused. D.Doubtful.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Honeybee Crisis Solved or Not?

B.Honeybee Population Declining or Not?

C.Honeybee Market Global or Local?

D.Honeybee Research Global or Local?
