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.

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

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.

B. There are a lot of ways for you to read more in less time.

Please help the Ruth Hayman Trust Who was Ruth Hayman?

When she came to England, she started up English language classes for adults who had come to live in England. When Ruth died in 1981, some teachers started a charity to remember her.

Who does the Trust help?

Adults who:

●are over the age of 16

●learn English as a foreign language

●are now living in Britain

In 2016-2017, we helped hundreds of students from about 40 countries to study lessons such as medicine, English and computer.

How does the Trust help?

Most of the money we give is for lesson and exam fees (费). And we also give some money for books and tools such as knives and scissors.

Where is the money from?

We raise the money ourselves. Some people give us money because they support what we do. We also have many events such as concerts, sales of things and food to raise money. We once helped Naima. She helped us raise money later. She talked about how the Trust had helped to change her life. But we don’t have enough money. To continue helping people like Naima, we need to raise more money.

How can you help?

Please help by organizing a money-raising event in your college or in your community. We will help you say “thank you”.
