Question

Many textbooks are not written in the kind of English that we speak every day .     36    ,sometimes the reading is so difficult that it almost seems like a foreign language. In a way , it is the language of science. You should not    37    to be able to read a difficult science passage the same way you read an interesting story; you should not expect to read it easily and all at once. Instead, you      38    read it several times through, catching on the meaning of difficult words, going back over difficult sentences , and finally      39      the whole thing together . Do not be discouraged     40       the meaning of the whole passage is not clear to you at first . You need to pick it apart patiently until you can understand it.

These are the steps to follow when you    41    something difficult.

1.Start to read normally until you meet a sentence that is not clear to you .

2.When you don’t understand a sentence, go back and read it again more slowly.

3.Look for any word you don’t know in the sentence. Try to understand their meanings using word parts and context clues(上下文线索).If necessary ,     42      the dictionary .

   4. Look at the next      43       sentences to see if they explain more about the sentence you are working on. Do not read very much farther ahead until you understand what is being said.

   5.Finally, read the sentence again. Try to put it into simpler words.

6.Read through the passage once. Try to understand all the hard parts well. Then read the whole passage once more at a usual speed. This helps you to put all ideas together.

The      44      sound a lot harder than they are. It is really just the normal way good readers understand anything      45    is difficult to read. After you have done the best you can this way , you should always feel free to ask for help from your teacher, if you have one.
