略读时，要用充足的时间读懂段落的第一句和第二句，因为第一句往往是该段的主题句(topic sentence)，而第二句往往是对前句的延伸(extension)或进一步的解释(explanation)。通过略读把握文章大意运用扫读(scanning)迅速浏览从第三句开始的后面部分,搜寻作者对开头两句的支持句(supporting sentences),并同时注意文章中间是否有转折词(transition),因为这些词常常会把文章的思路逆转或加入其它重要的信息。当读到段落的最后一句时,我们又要使用略读,这时必须再次放慢速度(slow down your pace)直到完全消化作者对段落的小结(conclusion),因为该小结有可能与主题句截然相反或引导读者进入下一个段落。通过扫读寻找特定信息或特定词组Skimming

difficult points1. Once out in the street, she walked quickly towards her usual bus stop. 一到街上，她就急匆匆地向往常乘车的车站走去。
Once out in the street是Once she was out in the street的省略形式。当从句主语与主句主语一致时，从句可省略主语和系动词。例如：
First aid, if (it is) properly done, can save a person’s life.
急救如果做得得法，能拯救人的性命。
I won’t go to the party unless (I am) invited.
除非邀请我，否则我不会参加这个聚会。2. ‘Sorry, Miss,’ replied the man, ‘the truth
is that the fog is too thick for the bus to
run that far.’ “抱歉,小姐”,这男人答道,
“事实上是雾太大了,车开不了那么远。”
句中第一个that引导的是表语从句。例如:
The problem is that we have run out of
money. 问题是我们钱已用完了。
第二个that(或this)在此处等于so,意思是
“那么”(或“这么”),修饰形容词或副词。
例如:
Can hard work change a person that
much? 艰辛会使人变化那么大吗?3. The tall man was nowhere to be seen.
哪儿也看不到那个高个子男人了。
nowhere 无处;到处都不。例如:
The missing wallet is nowhere to be
found.
丢失的钱包任何地方都找不着。
Nowhere else could we find the
missing wallet.
我们任何其他地方都找不到丢失的钱。4. Polly found herself staring up at a man
standing with his hand resting on her arm.
波莉意识到自己正抬头盯着一个男人，他站
着，把手搭在她的胳膊上。

find oneself in/at 意识到自己不自觉地处于某
种(不好的)处境中。例如：
Peter, who was usually shy, found himself
talking to the girls. 彼得,平时很害羞的他,发
现自己竟和这帮女孩搭起话来了。
Finding herself in the mire, Mary had to give
up her adventure. 发现自己陷入困境后，玛
丽不得不放弃她的冒险活动。5. Watch out for the step here.
当心这儿的台阶。
watch out for 留意,留心,密切注意。例如:

The boy standing there is a classmate of mine. 站在那儿的男孩是我的同班同学。Scanning
