But the problem is that there's too much to read and we have too little time to read these days. If we want to read more books and get more information by reading books, we should try to learn some reading skills. Here are some skills. If the passages are long and hard, we can preview(预览). Previewing is very useful for getting the main idea of long articles and reports quickly. We can read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully, and then we can only read the beginning of the other paragraphs. If the passages are short and easy, we can skim(略读). Skimming is a good way to get the main idea of popular magazines or the sports, stars and movies of daily papers(日报). While skimming, get our eyes to move fast and sweep them across each line. We can pick up only a few key words in each line. Everybody skims differently. We may not pick up the same words when we are skimming the same news, but usually we can get the same ideas of it. 76.
