How to use speed reading to go through newspapers or magazines? 1. You will not only save time, but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the  uninteresting reports.

  2.  This plays to the advantage of the tired reader who wants to stay current but has very little time to read. Often all you need to understand a news piece is the first paragraph. Here the reporter will tell you what’s happening, who it’s happening to and where it’s happening.

Sometimes you don’t even need to read the entire paragraph because the first sentence or the first couple of sentences give you all the information. If you still have more time you can move on to step two.   3.Read the last paragraph. Some news pieces are follow-ups of events that were earlier reported. In such a situation, the first paragraph may not give you all the information you need.  4.  It’s usually in the last paragraph that the user is given the background information that leads to the story.

Read the “quotes” after you’ve read the first and last paragraphs and you still feel you need more information or have more time to play with, you can come into middle of the piece by reading the direct speech of the sources of the news item. In all forms of writing where quotations are used, the writer leads the reader into the quotes and then leads the reader out. This takes too much space and therefore, robs the reader out of some precious time.

   5. 

A. Read the first paragraph.[來源:學&科&網(wǎng)Z&X&X&K]

B. But the last paragraph will do the job.

C. The first paragraph may be not important at all.

D. Otherwise, you can stop reading.

E. Here are three techniques you can use.

F. So glide directly to the quotation marks and read what’s within them.

G. If you follow these steps, it’ s possible to get about 80 percent of a news piece.

The education of thousands of children with reading and sight trouble is being held back because of a lack of awareness of their legal rights, say campaigners.

They are calling for greater efforts to increase awareness of the rights of such children to have text books in design other than standard (標準) print. The campaign is being supported by five times Olympic gold medalist, Sir Steve Redgrave, who has reading trouble.

Pupils have the right to receive text in another way, and parents can take action under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) if they feel their children are being treated in a different way through a lack of support. But new research suggests 89 per cent of print disabled pupils and their parents are unaware of software which changes standard print into other substitutes like combined text and audio files (音頻) which can be read or listened to.

Sir Steve has teamed up with software company Dolphin Computer Access to raise awareness of software turning tools. He said: "I recognize that schools have competing priorities (優(yōu)先權(quán)) for their resources (資源), but I would like to see a much greater effort on the part of the government and schools to raise awareness among parents that these additional solutions exist and that their children have a right to use them."

Mike Foster, Dolphin's local MP in Worcester, is backing the campaign. "There is clearly an issue to solve concerning software for special needs. I'll be asking ministers what steps can be taken to improve the situation", he said.

Language-learners who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. So they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations (翻譯) of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音節(jié)), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.

1.Students who never use dictionary speak well but write poor, because_______

A．They can’t remember words.

B．They may make mistakes.

A．Students who never use dictionary can speak well and write well.

D．An English word only has one translation.

3.When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary in reading?

A．At the beginning of the reading

B．At the end of the reading

C．During the first reading
