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 - or 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.
【小题1】 How many skills does the writer introduce to help us in reading?

A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.
【小题2】 What should you do if you read a long article according to the writer?
A.Read every word of it.B.Read all the details.
C.Pick up a few key words in each line.
D.Read the first and the last two paragraphs carefully.

A.Previewing.B.Skimming.C.Reading.D.Sweeping.

Not long ago, I made up my mind to read a lot of books to get more knowledge. So I went to the library and 36 happily with several books. But after a few days, I felt impatient. The 37 of finishing all of them seemed impossible, because I always found it 38 to calm down to read a whole book. I didn’t know what to do with it. Then 39 one day I thought of "Why not make read­ing fun?" It gave me 40 again. Reading is a journey of spirit. Every time we read a book, we are actually talking    41    the writer. I tried to put all
my effort into his or her books, 42 I could feel all of his or her happiness and suffering. Now books have become a part of my life.
See? Attitude (态度) can make a great 43 . Someone once said,"Even though the situ­ation is bad, people still have one freedom ( 自由) to 44 their attitude. "So,don’t complain about study or work. It helps 45 . Try to see things from a different way. Believe me; this will change the situation and help you a lot.

All the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
I’m very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I’ve met could only  be found in a writer’s imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends and new worlds.
Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分开的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相关的) ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解决方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on(专注于) books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’ t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t suffer during the process.
【小题1】Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?

A.You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.
B.You think actively instead of getting facts passively(被动地)when reading.
C.You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.
D.You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking.
【小题2】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.We can often find something connected with ourselves in books.
B.Different writings at different times share the same characteristics.
C.The same problems will appear in different books with similar solutions.
D.Reading books which are written for your generation is more helpful to you.
【小题3】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?
A.To advise us to enjoy ourselves by reading.

The new book Harry Potter and the Half-Blood is warmly welcomed by the children in China. It sells well across China. You can see and hear the advertisements about the book here and there.

Before you can start speaking and writing in English, your brain must get enough correct English sentences. This is obvious(显而易见的).

There are two ways to get correct English sentences: listening and reading. Both are good, but reading is much easier than listening. With the help of a good dictionary, you will be able to understand English texts much more easily than movies. If you just read one book in English, you will see that your English has become much better. English phrases will just come to you without thinking when you are writing or speaking.

This is true for hundreds of words and grammar structures(结构). If you read in English, you can forget about grammar rules. Throw away your grammar book! You needn’t know the rules for the present perfect tense(现在完成时). Instead, read a few books in English, and soon you will feel that “I have seen Paul yesterday” is wrong. The only difference between you and native speakers is that they have heard and read more English sentences than you have.

1.From the first paragraph, we know that ________.

A.English is difficult to learn

B.if you have seen an English sentence, you can speak English

C.before you use English, you must know some English

D.everyone is a born English speaker
