Results
4-7 points: You are not a good friend.
You either neglect your friend’s
needs or do whatever he/she wants
you to do without thinking whether
the behaviour is right or not. You
should think about what a good
friend needs to do and say to his/her
friend.
8-12 points: You are a good friend but
you sometimes let your friendship
become too important, or you fail to
show enough concern for your
friend’s needs and feelings. Try to
strike a better balance between your
friend’s needs and your own
responsibilities．
13+ points: You are an excellent
friend who recognizes that to be a
good friend you need to balance
your needs and your friend’s
needs. Well done!
To have a good friend, you need to be a good friend.

略读(skimming)只看文章标题、下标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关注文章中反复出现的关键词。
略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是该段的主题句(topic sentence)，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进一步的解释(explanation)。
通过略读把握文章大意
运用扫读(scanning)迅速浏览从第三句开始的后面部分,搜寻作者对开头两句的支持句(supporting sentences),并同时注意文章中间是否有转折词(transition),因为这些词常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的信息。当读到段落的最后一句时,我们又要使用略读,这时必须再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者对段落的小结(conclusion),因为该小结有可能与主题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。

Background
This is a true story. It took place in Amsterdam, Holland in the early 1940s after the German Nazis had occupied most of Europe. The Nazi Party ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945. One of their key policies was to kill all the Jews in Europe. If any persons known to be Jews were found, they would be sent to concentration camps farther east, mostly in Poland. Families were separated and transported in trains.
For many days, they went without food, water, sanitation or fresh air. To avoid this terrible fate, some Jewish families went into hiding, often with the help of non-Jewish friends. This diary was written during the time when Anne and her family moved to escape from being killed by Nazis.
