十步教你提高英語閱讀速度(下篇)

6. Mark key thoughts in the margins.

I know you were taught not to write in your books, and some books should be kept pristine, but a textbook is for studying. Mark key thoughts in the margins. If it makes you feel better, use a pencil. Even better, buy a packet of those little stickie tabs and slap one on the page with a short note.When it's time to review, simply read through your tabs.

我知道，大家從小就被教導(dǎo)不要往書上亂寫。對(duì)于有些書應(yīng)該是這樣的，但教科書是用來學(xué)習(xí)的，可以在空白的地方記下一些重要的想法和心得。如果能讓 你感覺更舒服的話，你可以用鉛筆來記，更可以買些可粘貼的小便簽，在上面記些短小的筆記，然后貼到書頁(yè)上。到復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí)候，只要瀏覽一遍你的便簽便可。

If you're renting your textbooks, make sure you understand the rules.

如果你的教科書是借來的，一定要懂規(guī)矩哦。

7. Use all the tools provided -- lists, bullets, sidebars.

Use all the tools the author provides -- lists, bullets, sidebars, anything extra in the margins. Authors usually pull out key points for special treatment. They're clues to important information. Use them all. Besides, lists are usually easier to remember.

對(duì)于作者使用的寫作表現(xiàn)形式（如列表，文字前面作為強(qiáng)調(diào)的圓形符號(hào)，欄框等所有在空白處額外體現(xiàn)的東西），要加以充分利用。作者通常會(huì)把關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)拎出來加以特別處理。這些表現(xiàn)形式都是尋找重要信息的線索，一定要充分利用。此外，列表也通常更容易記。

8. Take notes for practice tests.

When you read something you know will show up on a test, write it down in the form of a question. Note the page number beside it so you can check your answers if necessary.

當(dāng)讀到一些你認(rèn)為會(huì)在考試中出現(xiàn)的知識(shí)點(diǎn)時(shí)，把它以問題的形式記下來。在問題邊上寫下答案所在的頁(yè)碼，以便在必要時(shí)查看答案。

Keep a list of these key questions and you'll have written your own practice test.

把這些重要問題列在一起，你就可以進(jìn)行自我?？剂恕?/p>

9. Read with good posture.

Reading with good posture helps you read longer and stay awake longer. Give your body a break. Sit in a healthy way and you'll last a lot longer.

閱讀時(shí)保持一個(gè)良好的姿勢(shì)能夠讓你更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地，清醒地進(jìn)行閱讀。讓你的身體放松，保持健康的坐姿，你便能更長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地看書了。

Much as I love to read in bed, it puts me to sleep. If reading puts you to sleep, too, don't read lying down.

我雖然喜歡躺在床上看書，但這也總是令我很快陷入昏昏欲睡的境地。如果你也是這樣的話，那就不要躺著看書了。

10. Practice, practice, practice.

Reading fast takes practice, practice, practice. Practice makes all the difference.

要實(shí)現(xiàn)閱讀速讀的提高，你必須進(jìn)行一而再，再而三的反復(fù)實(shí)踐練習(xí)。熟能生巧，實(shí)踐出真知。

Pretty soon you'll be reading faster without even realizing it.

相信很快，你就能在不知不覺中提高閱讀速讀啦！
