If your author is a good author, he or she will begin each paragraph with a key statement that tells you what that paragraph is about. By reading only the first sentence, you can determine if the paragraph has information you need to know.
如果作者夠水準(zhǔn)的話,他/她在每段的開頭都會交代一下該段所的大概內(nèi)容。只要讀每段的第一句話,你就能夠判斷出該段有沒有你想了解的信息了。
If you\'re reading literature, this still applies, but know that you may miss details that enrichthe story. When the language in literature is artful, I would choose to read every word.
如果你讀的是文學(xué)作品的話,這個方法依然適用。不過要知道,這樣的話你可能會錯過很多用于豐富故事的細(xì)節(jié)。如果所讀的文學(xué)作品妙語連珠的話,我會選擇逐字逐句地拜讀。
一段的最后一句話也應(yīng)該會包含有關(guān)這段材料的重要性的線索。段末一句話一般來說有2個功能-總結(jié)一下所表達(dá)的思想;為下一段作過渡。
當(dāng)瀏覽過段首及段末的兩句話后,如果你覺得這段內(nèi)容值得你去讀,你也不必逐字通讀。眼睛快速掃描每行文字,尋找詞組和關(guān)鍵詞。你的大腦會自動幫你補(bǔ)全那些跳過的文字的。
忽略諸如it,to,a,an,and,be等“小詞”-這些詞你太熟悉了。(在閱讀過程中,)你并不需要他們。你的大腦會自動識別這些小詞的。
在以詞組為單位進(jìn)行閱讀時,注意尋找要點(diǎn)。有關(guān)于文章中研究對象的關(guān)鍵詞,可能你在事先已做到心中有數(shù)了。在閱讀過程中,這些關(guān)鍵詞會在你眼前跳出來。多花點(diǎn)時間在那些要點(diǎn)附近的材料上。
我知道,大家從小就被教導(dǎo)不要往書上亂寫。對于有些書應(yīng)該是這樣的,但教科書是用來學(xué)習(xí)的,可以在空白的地方記下一些重要的想法和心得。如果能讓你感覺更舒服的話,你可以用鉛筆來記,更可以買些可粘貼的小便簽,在上面記些短小的筆記,然后貼到書頁上。到復(fù)習(xí)的時候,只要瀏覽一遍你的便簽便可。
If you\'re renting your textbooks, make sure you understand the rules.
如果你的教科書是借來的,一定要懂規(guī)矩哦。
1 Use all the tools provided -- lists, bullets, sidebars.
Use all the tools the author provides -- lists, bullets, sidebars, anything extra in the margins. Authors usually pull out key points for special treatment. They\'re clues to important information. Use them all. Besides, lists are usually easier to remember.
對于作者使用的寫作表現(xiàn)形式(如列表,文字前面作為強(qiáng)調(diào)的圓形符號,欄框等所有在空白處額外體現(xiàn)的東西),要加以充分利用。作者通常會把關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)拎出來加以特別處理。這些表現(xiàn)形式都是尋找重要信息的線索,一定要充分利用。此外,列表也通常更容易記。
2 Take notes for practice tests.
When you read something you know will show up on a test, write it down in the form of a question. Note the page number beside it so you can check your answers if necessary.
當(dāng)讀到一些你認(rèn)為會在考試中出現(xiàn)的知識點(diǎn)時,把它以問題的形式記下來。在問題邊上寫下答案所在的頁碼,以便在必要時查看答案。
Keep a list of these key questions and you\'ll have written your own practice test.
把這些重要問題列在一起,你就可以進(jìn)行自我模考了。
3 Read with good posture.
Reading with good posture helps you read longer and stay awake longer. Give your body a break. Sit in a healthy way and you\'ll last a lot longer.
閱讀時保持一個良好的姿勢能夠讓你更長時間地,清醒地進(jìn)行閱讀。讓你的身體放松,保持健康的坐姿,你便能更長時間地看書了。
Much as I love to read in bed, it puts me to sleep. If reading puts you to sleep, too, don\'t read lying down.
我雖然喜歡躺在床上看書,但這也總是令我很快陷入昏昏欲睡的境地。如果你也是這樣的話,那就不要躺著看書了。
4 Practice, practice, practice.
Reading fast takes practice, practice, practice. Practice makes all the difference.
要實(shí)現(xiàn)閱讀速讀的提高,你必須進(jìn)行一而再,再而三的反復(fù)實(shí)踐練習(xí)。熟能生巧,實(shí)踐出真知。
Pretty soon you\'ll be reading faster without even realizing it.
相信很快,你就能在不知不覺中提高閱讀速讀啦!
