Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there's 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 especially good.

Preview--if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.

Here's 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 doesn't give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don't really want--or need--to read.

Skim--if it's short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading --like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.

Here's 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 piece, but we'll get a similar idea of what it's all about.

1.How many skills are recommended in this passage?

A.One.             B.Two.              C.Three.            D.Four.

2.What does the underlined word "preview" mean in Chinese?

A.精读             B.默读             C.朗读             D.略读

3.What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?

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. What is the best title for this passage?

A.How to read faster   B.What to read       C.When to read      D.Why we should read

“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories.

· Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning?

· Family—What kind of relationship(关系)do you want with your parents and other family members?

·          Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

· Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

· Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?

· Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?

· Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?

To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.

1.Is life a long journey according to the passage?

2. Why do you need to set your life goal?

3.What should you consider when you set a family goal?

4.How can we achieve the main goal easily?

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you can do to feel good and have fun when you’re hot?

Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read stories or paint in front of a fan. You don’t need to move your body very much. These are just some of the cool things to do on a hot day.

In addition, it’s important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don’t wait for thirst before you start to drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.

The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day---one that doesn’t need any cooking.                                                                

1.Is it easy to know what to do to feel good on a hot day?

2. Is playing in water a good choice or a bad one?

3.How much water do we lose one day in hot weather?

4.What is a healthy menu for a hot day?

5.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
