Reading is a good habit. There are hundreds of skills to help you read much in a short time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.

Preview(预览)---if it’s long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a main idea of heavy reading like long articles and reports.

Here’s how to preview.

●Read the first two paragraphs(段落) and the last two paragraphs carefully.

●Then read only the first sentence(句子) of the other paragraphs.

Previewing doesn’t give you everything. It stops you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read.

Skim(略读)----if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a main idea of light reading ---like news about popular sports and stars.

Here’s how to skim.

●Get your eyes to move fast. Look through each line.

●Pick up only a few important 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 the main idea of the news or article.

根据短文内容判断正误，正确的在括号里填A， 错误的在括号里填B。

Sometimes people say that they see strange flying objects (物体) high up in the sky. People call these strange objects “Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)”.

Dennis Bardens wrote an article. In it, he told us that he once saw a UFO himself. He had dinner one night with a friend near Tripoli, Libya. After dinner Dennis with his friend walked across a yard (院子) to his room. He noticed that the “moon” looked strange that night. But it wasn’t the moon. He saw the object’s light was moving. It seemed to be an object like a big plate. In some ways it looked like smoke with light on it. But it wasn’t smoke because it didn’t change its shape (形状). When the object was nearer, he noticed that its bottom (底部的) part was brighter than the top. The bottom part was yellow and the top was red. Then the object suddenly turned away and left, moving very fast.

On a later day, Dennis talked to other people about it, and he found some people also saw it. They all described (描述) it in the same way.
