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

A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
【小題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.

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信號). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.

    In case(假使) you don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(語氣) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.

On Thanksgiving Day, a teacher asked her class of first-graders to draw a picture of something they were thankful for. She thought that these children from poor families actually had little to be thankful for. And she found most of them drawing pictures of flowers or tables with food. The teacher was very surprised to see the picture Douglas handed in. It’s a hand, a simple hand.

But whose hand? The class were very interested in the strange picture. “I think it must be the hand of God that bring us food,” said one child, “A farmer,” said another, “Because he grows beautiful flowers.” Finally when the others were at work, the teacher went over Douglas’ desk and asked whose hand it was. “It’s your hand, Teacher,” she said quietly and shyly.

She remembered that she had often taken Douglas, a dirty lonely child, by the hand while having a class break. She often did that with the children. But it meant so much to Douglas. Perhaps this is everyone’s thanksgiving, not for the material things we get, but for the chance, in whatever small way, to give to others.

 

1.When did the story happen?

A. On Christmas Day.               B. On Teachers’ Day.    

C. On Mother’s Day.                D. On Thanksgiving Day.

A. He was good at drawing it.             

B. His teacher asked him to draw it.    

C. He wanted to show his thanks to the teacher.               

D. He hoped to get a prize in drawing.

3.What do you learn about Douglas from the passage?

A. He was a lonely child.             B. He was very active in class.    

C. He always kept his hand clean.            D. He often answered questions loudly.

4.According to the passage, which of the following is an opinion (意見；主張；看法), but not a fact?

A. The teacher went over Dauglas’ desk and talked to him.             

B. Different people show their thanksgiving in different ways.    

C. The teacher often took Douglas by the hand after class.      

D. Most of the students were drawing the pictures of flowers or tables with food.
