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?
A. 精读 B. 默读 C. 朗读 D. 略读
() 3. What should we NOT do when we read sports news in a daily paper according to the passage?
A. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
B. Get our eyes to move fast.
C. Sweep our eyes across each line.D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
() 4. What is the best title for this passage?
A. How to read faster B. What to read
C. When to read D. Why we should read

Learning a new skill helps your brain (大月自) to develop. When trying to remember something ? you should pay special attention to the most important things about it. Do not allow other thoughts to enter your mind because this will reduce your chances of making right memories.
An excellent way to improve memory is to connect information with pictures. Try to see the pictures in your mind. Taking notes and keeping a diary will also be helpful.
Healthy food and plenty of vitamins are necessary for your memory to work well. Drinking a lot of water also helps keep your memory. You must allow your brain to have enough sleep and rest.
