Reading Tips
在阅读每个段落时，要注意
综合运用略读(skimming)
与扫读(scanning)这两种方法。
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(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。
通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组

1. What made Jane Goodall a great success?
2. What should we learn from Jane Goodall?
3. What do you think is the best way to protect wildlife?
Discussion
There are two points that made her success:
The first one is facile (易做到的), because it is only a way. Everyone can do it. But for the second one,
one is her way to study chimps, and the other is her true love to the animals.
1. What made Jane Goodall a great success?
it is more easily said than done. As a woman, she gave up everything, went to the forest to study the chimps and devoted all her love to these animals. It is really not easy. What we cannot understand is that how she has such great personality.
2. What should we learn from
Jane Goodall?
wisdom and courage;
deeply love to the animals;
her consideration;
her hard work…
3. What do you think is the best way to
protect wildlife?
We should call for all the citizens to love wildlife, protect their living conditions, forbid hunters to kill them freely, build more natural reserves for them and we shouldn’t disturb them. The national wildlife protection parks shouldn't be open to the tourists. Make people aware
of the importance of wildlife protection.
