An Introduction to Pre-reading
When reading some material, many readers would like to focus on the first line of it and read it through from begin-ning to end. This is not an efficient way of reading. Actually, experienced readers do pre-reading before reading it. Pre-reading is a technique that allows readers to become familiar with the material to be read before beginning to read it thoroughly. 1. It provides readers with a mental outline of the content of the material.
• What is the purpose of pre-reading?
Pre-reading involves getting a quick impression or overview of what you are going to read before beginning to read. It allows you to know about the basic content and organization of the material before you read it.2.
• Why is pre-reading effective?
First, pre-reading helps you to become concentrated on what you will read. Through pre-reading you become interested and involved in the material and get basic information about the content of the article. 3.
Second, pre-reading provides you with a mental outline of the material you are going to read. 4. With this outline already in mind, you are able to read the chapter more easily.
• 5.
You may use the technique of pre-reading before you read any materials, when you read just for an overview of a material, or when you select materials for a specific purpose (e. g. writing a paper, preparing a research report, etc.). Don’t think that pre-reading will waste your time. In fact, you just spend a few minutes on pre-reading, which will help you save a lot of time and make your actual reading fast and easy.
A. When do you apply pre-reading?
B. Does pre-reading waste our study time?
C. The technique involves checking specific parts of an article, a chapter or a book.
D. Thus, you will be able to read faster and follow the author’s thought more easily.
E. You begin to expect the outline of the material and see the relationships of topics.
F. In other words, pre-reading focuses your attention on the content of the reading material.
G. For example, while reading the headings of a chapter, you are forming a mental outline of the chapter.

As Easy as 1,2,3
“Uno，dos，tres…”James counted out loud the number of pages in his history report. His older brother，Matt，sat across the kitchen table from him.
“What are you doing now，James？”asked Matt，slightly bothered by James’s loud voice. “I’m trying to study for my math test. I can’t focus on my study if you keep talking.”Matt complained.
“I need to count the number of pages. We need to have at least five pages about the American Revolution. So far I only have three.”
“Why do you have to count out loud？Why does it have to be in Spanish？”Matt asked.
“Because we’re learning our numbers in Spanish class. My Spanish teacher said that speaking to others loudly instead of reading to ourselves will help us with our pronunciation.”
“I’m going to another room，”Matt said as he picked up his books.
“Okay，but you’ll be sorry when the day comes that I know Spanish and you don’t,” James joked.
A few weeks later，James and Matt visited the local grocery store. While they were there，Matt saw a sign written in Spanish.
“Jam
es，”Matt said to his brother.“Do you know what this sign says？”Matt asked，expecting James to stare at the sign without understanding.
To Matt’s surprise，James read the sign out loud.“The sign says，‘Hello. Welcome to our store，” James said. Matt was surprised. He knew that James had been practicing Spanish，but he did not realize that his brother was advancing that quickly.
“I can also read that sign over there，”James said，pointing to a sign warning customers about the wet floor.
“Well，James，”Matt said as they walked out of the store.“I’m impressed by how quickly you are learning to speak Spanish.”
“Spanish is easy and fun to learn，”James replied，smiling with confidence.“You should practice with me. We could both speak Spanish at home.”
Matt thought about James’s remark and said，“That’s a great idea！”
1.Why did James count out loud in Spanish？

In Cairo, formal education is very important. There are twelve years of formal education in Egypt, and public schools are free, though the government does not have enough money. Many families can afford to send their children to private schools. Toward the end of high school, children planning to go to college should take an exam required. The results of that exam determine which college each student will attend and also which fields of study are open to that student. Top students can attend the American University in Cairo, which teaches its course in English. Other universities in the Cairo area include Cairo University, with over 30,000 students, Ain Shams University and Al–Azhar University. Many Children do not complete school or go on to college but learn a trade or apprenticeship in business instead.
Education comes from the family—this is where children learn about social values. The family is very important in Egyptian society. Though modern families are adopting the idea of the “nuclear family” common in the West, the traditional Egyptian family unit consists of parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws and all sorts of people. Even though the modern family unit tends to be smaller, families usually live close together and visit each other often.
Unlike in the West, children usually live with their parents until they get married, even through college. It is very rare that children move out and establish their independence before they get married. Usually, this only happens if the child goes abroad to save money before getting married. Many young Egyptian men work for a few years in the rich countries of the Persian Gulf, where wages are much higher than they are in Egypt, and this allows them to have a better start when they return to Egypt and get married.
1.If Egyptian children graduate from high school, _______.
A. some of them will decide not to attend university
B. all of them will take an exam for entering collage
C. some of them want to attend university in America
D. many of them can’t afford their higher education
2.If you are an excellent student, you will _______.
A. be sent to American universities for study
B. be admitted to Cairo University
C. take class taught in English in Cairo
D. get a high–paid job in the future
3.Where do the Egyptian children learn about social values?
A. Egyptian society. B. The family.
C. The West. D. All sorts of people.
4.In Egypt some young people go to the Persian Gulf because they_______.
A. need to gain rich experience there
B. want to establish their independence
C. intend to show respect for their parents
D. wish to have a better life in the future
