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(預覽)---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(略讀)----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.
How to read    小題1:  in a short time
Previewing
  小題2: to preview
A long and    小題3:   article or report
 
How to preview

Skimming
What to skim
Some    小題7:   and simple news
 小題8:  to skim
Make your eyes    小題9:  fast across each line.
How can skimming help you in reading
It can help us    小題10:   the news or articles quickly.

小題1:much
小題2:what
小題3:hard/difficult
小題4:last
小題5:other
小題6:spend
小題7:short
小題8:How
小題9:move

試題分析：本文講述了閱讀的兩種方式，預覽和略讀。當讀比較長的文章的時候，適合用預覽的方法。當讀比較短的文章的時候，適合用略讀的方法。本文還分別講述了預覽和略讀的幾個步驟。本文在講述了預覽和略讀的優(yōu)點的同時，也提到了這兩種方法的缺點。
小題1:根據(jù)文章內容There are hundreds of skills to help you read much in a short time 可以判斷本文主要講述的是效率閱讀的方法。所以填much。
小題2:根據(jù)第三個空，長的難的文章，可以判斷是預覽的對象。所以填what。
小題3:根據(jù)文中的句子Previewing is especially useful for getting a main idea of heavy reading like long articles and reports. 這里的heavy指的是讀起來不輕松的文章，所以填hard或difficult。
小題4:根據(jù)文章中Read the first two paragraphs(段落) and the last two paragraphs carefully.可知填last。
小題5:根據(jù)文章中 Then read only the first sentence(句子) of the other paragraphs. 可知填寫other。
小題6:根據(jù)文章中 It stops you from spending time on things you don’t really want or need to read. 可知填寫spend。
小題7:根據(jù)文章中 Skimming is a good way to get a main idea of light reading ---like news about popular sports and stars.可以判斷 是比較短的，簡單的文章。所以填short。
小題8:第九個空提到的是如何去略讀，所以是 how to skim。
小題9:根據(jù)文章中Get your eyes to move fast. Look through each line.可以判斷是 move 。
小題10:根據(jù)文中 we’ll get the main idea of the news or article. get the main idea of the news or article 換句話 understand the news or articles。
