Reading is a good habit,but the problem is,there ’ s too much to read these days,and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are especially good.
Preview——if it's long and hard. Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and business reports.
Here ’ s how to preview.
. Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
. Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn ’t give you all the details. It keeps you from spending time on things you don , t really want—or need—to read.
Skim—if it ’ s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading——like popular magazines or the sports and entertainment of your daily paper.
Here ’ s how to skim.
. Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
. Pick up only a few key 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 ’ 11 get a similar idea of what it ’ s all about.
() 1. How many skills are recommended in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
() 2. What does the underlined word “Skim” mean in Chinese?

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France,people spend about 1 ,646 hours a year at work. In Japan,however? people work about 2 ,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

Many years ago,when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver,I was driving to my parents,home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City ? where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台) ,I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off,but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car.
I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city,and when I got out of the car,the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote to him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards,I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.

Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership一a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.
