Reading Tips
阅读时，可根据阅读任务的不同，综合运用略读(skimming)与扫读(scanning) 。提高快速阅读水平。
Skimming and scanning
Skimming and scanning are two fast reading skills to help to browse text and extract the key points.
The skills require practice, but once you have got the hang of them you’ll find you can get through a substantial amount of reading in quite a short time.
These reading methods make it easier for you to grasp large amounts of material, especially when you're previewing. They are also useful when you don't need to know every word.
略读(skimming)只看文章标题、下标题以及每个部分或者段落第一行，关注文章中反复出现的关键词。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

Scan the article to find out what these numbers mean:

Scanning
This means moving your eyes quickly down the page to find specific information.
2b
It is 8:30 a.m. at the Chengdu Research Base. Lin Wei and the other panda keepers are preparing the milk for the baby pandas’
breakfast. At 9:00 a.m., they find that most of the babies are already awake and hungry.
When the babies see the keepers, they run over with excitement and some of them even walk into their friends and fall over!
“They’re so cute and lovely. I take care of them like they’re my own babies. I wash, feed and play with them every day. They’re very special to me.”
Lin Wei loves her job, but it is a difficult one.
Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years. The babies often die from illnesses and do not live very long.
Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a day eating about 10 kilos of bamboo. Many years ago, there were a lot more bamboo forests and pandas in China, but then humans started to cut down the forests. Scientists say there are now fewer than 2,000 pandas living in the remaining forests. Another 200 or so live in zoos or research centers in China and other countries.
An education program in Chengdu teaches children in cities about pandas and other endangered animals. They send people to schools to tell children about the importance of saving these animals. The children sing songs or make artwork about pandas and other wild animals. Teaching children is one way to help save pandas. The Chinese
government is also planting more bamboo trees so there will be more forests for pandas to live in. We all hope that in the future there will be a lot more pandas than now.
Listen and answer the following questions.
Do pandas have many babies
2. Why do the panda babies often die
3. Can you point out one way to help save pandas
Pandas do not have many babies, maybe only one every two years.
Because of illnesses.
Teaching children about the importance of saving pandas is one way to help save pandas.
Scan the article to find out what these numbers mean: 10, 20, 200, 2,000.
10 — Adult pandas eat 10 kilos of bamboo daily.
200 — About 200 pandas live in zoos or research
centers in China or other countries.
2000 — Scientists say there are fewer than 2,000
pandas living in the forests.
12 — Adult pandas spend more than 12 hours a
day eating.
What is Lin Wei’s job
2. What do the baby pandas eat for breakfast
Scan the article again and write short answers to the questions.
He is responsible for taking care of the pandas,
Including washing, feeding, playing with them.
They drink milk for breakfast.
2c
3. What do adult pandas eat
4. Why are pandas endangered
5. What is one way of saving pandas
They eat bamboo.
On one hand, the baby pandas don’t live long because of illnesses; On the other hand, pandas feed on bamboo, but humans cut down the
bamboo forests.
Teaching children the importance of saving
pandas / Planting more bamboo trees.
1. The panda __________ at the Chengdu
Research Base are awake very early in the
