Reading difficult material can be a matter of concentration or of simply organizing the challenge into steps: 阅读难以理解的文字材料往往需要人们高度集中注意力,其实还有一种简单的方法,即细分步骤、逐步解决这一难题: Choose a moderate amount of material or a chapter to begin. 首先,选择长度适中的文章或文章中的某一段开始阅读。 Get a grasp of how the material is organized: 大致看一下文章的结构: Scan the section for titles, headings, sub-headings, and topic sentences to get its general idea; pay attention to graphs, charts, and diagrams. If there is a summary at the end of a chapter, read it. 浏览文章的篇名、标题、副标题,段落主题句,了解文章的主旨大意;注意文章的图标,表格,数据表,如果每章末尾有总结语,也要注意阅读。 Check the beginning and the end for leading questions and exercises. Read first for what you do understand, and to determine difficulty.Mark what you do not understand to review later. 阅读开头和结尾,注意导入的问题和相关练习题。先读你懂的部分,判断文章的难度。将不懂的部分作上标记,以便等会回顾。 As you read, practice the look-away method: 阅读的时候运用“视线转移”的方法: Periodically look away from the text and ask yourself a stimulus question relating to the text. |
