Whether they’re project documents, trade journals, blogs, business books or ebooks, most of us read regularly as part of our jobs, and to develop our skills and knowledge.
But do you ever read what should be a useful document, yet fail to gain any helpful information from it? Or, re-read something several times to get a full understanding of the content? If so, look at the following strategies (策略) that will help you read more effectively.
●Think About What You Want to Know
Before you start reading anything, ask yourself why you’re reading it. Are you reading with a purpose, or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you’ve read it? Once you know your purpose, you can examine the resource (资源) to see whether it’s going to help you.
Ask yourself whether the resource meets your needs, and try to work out if it will give you the right amount of knowledge. If you think that the resource isn’t consummate, don’t waste time reading it.
●Know How Deeply to Study the Material
Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject, you can skim material. Here you read only chapter headings, introductions, and summaries.
If you need a moderate (中等的) level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters, picking out and understanding key words and concepts.
Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail (细节). Here it’s best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can then fit the detail gained from a full reading of the material.
【小题1】Why should we know our purpose before reading?

Giving up smoking will most likely add seven years to one’s life.  While many people try to give up and fail, it is not an impossible task.  Follow these five tips, and you will be well on your way to giving up smoking. 

71   . Success in all fields of life begins with firm determination.  If you are weak in willpower, you can never do anything.  However, if you make up your mind,  once and for all,  that you are giving up the habit,  you have made the first step towards success.

72.    If you sit around doing nothing, there is a higher chance that you will light up a cigarette and relax.  Fill your spare time with sports and energetic activities.  Try to feel how good it is to get your blood circulating and to breathe in air deeply.  If you are not the athletic type,  then walking will have the same benefit as other kinds of sports.

73.  If going to a bar means that you are going to have a drink and then light up, maybe it is better to avoid that place for the time being.  Once you have truly stopped smoking and you feel how good it is,  you can go anywhere else  But while you are in the transition phase,  it is better to carefully choose where you will spend your spare time.

74.   Whenever you get a desire to put a cigarette in your mouth,  replace it with something that will help you rather than harm you.  Drinking small amounts of water throughout the day is not only a good way to help you give up smoking,  but it is also a great way to stay healthy.  You should drink eight glasses of water per day,  if you can.  If you need to put something solid in your mouth,  then have a piece of fruit in place

75.   Tell people around you that you are giving up smoking for health reasons.  They are likely to support you and not to offer you cigarettes.  Your family and loved ones will similarly support your efforts and help you to avoid situations where you may feel you have to smoke because of social pressure.

E. Get support from your friends and family

F. Promise not to smoke

G Drink more water instead of smoking a cigarette
