Whether they’re project documents, trade journals, blogs, business books or ebooks, most of us read regularly as part of our jobs, and to develop our skills and knowledge.
But do you ever read what should be a useful document, yet fail to gain any helpful information from it? Or, re-read something several times to get a full understanding of the content? If so, look at the following strategies (策略) that will help you read more effectively.
●Think About What You Want to Know
Before you start reading anything, ask yourself why you’re reading it. Are you reading with a purpose, or just for pleasure? What do you want to know after you’ve read it? Once you know your purpose, you can examine the resource (资源) to see whether it’s going to help you.
Ask yourself whether the resource meets your needs, and try to work out if it will give you the right amount of knowledge. If you think that the resource isn’t consummate, don’t waste time reading it.
●Know How Deeply to Study the Material
Where you only need the shallowest knowledge of a subject, you can skim material. Here you read only chapter headings, introductions, and summaries.
If you need a moderate (中等的) level of information on a subject, then you can scan the text. This is when you read the chapter introductions and summaries in detail. You can then speed read the contents of the chapters, picking out and understanding key words and concepts.
Only when you need full knowledge of a subject is it worth studying the text in detail (细节). Here it’s best to skim the material first to get an overview of the subject. This gives you an understanding of its structure, into which you can then fit the detail gained from a full reading of the material.
小题1:Why should we know our purpose before reading?| A．Because we can develop our skills and knowledge. | | B．Because we can get a full understanding of the content. | | C．Because we can avoid re-reading something several times. | | D．Because we can check it out whether the material will be helpful. |
小题2:What does the underlined word “consummate” in the 5th paragraph mean?| A．Legal. | B．Natural. | C．Perfect. | D．Formal. |
小题3: According to the depth to study the material, how many reading strategies are mentioned? 小题4:The best title for this passage should be ______.| A．Reading Strategies | | B．Think About What You Want to Know | | C．Know How Deeply to Study the Material | | D．How to Develop our Skills and Knowledge |

You’re standing in the dairy section at the grocery store, searching for your favorite brand. Suddenly, you catch a smell of chocolate cookies. You forget about dairy and head for the bakery (烘烤食品) section. Guess what? You just walked into an odor (气味) trap (陷阱)! The odor was cooked up by scientists in a lab.
For years, scientists have been studying the special powers of smell. They found that more than our other senses, smell changes our mood and helps us remember things.
So companies have begun spending thousands of dollars to scent (使充满香味) entire stores. Artificial (人造的) scents are being used to lead customers by the nose. These smells help to get people inside and put them in the mood to buy. They even make customers remember the store later, so they’ll come back for more. Also, many companies have smartly made use of product smells. A company added lemon fragrance to its dish cleaner. They wanted people to think the soap contained “natural” cleaners. It worked!
New uses for smells are being created every day. One bank, for example, gives customers coupons (优惠券) advertising car loans (贷款). To get people to take out a loan, bank officials hope to coat these coupons with the fresh leather smell of a new car. In Australia, telephone offices are putting sweat odor on unpaid bills. Since some people sweat when they’re scared, this smell might remind them of when they were frightened. And they’ll pay the bills right away!
What lies ahead for our noses? Smell scientists are working on some pretty far-out ideas. Would you believe TV sets that produce smells? Or how about scent diets? Certain food smells will fool your stomach into thinking it’s full. Alarm clocks will scent your bedroom with a strong pleasant smell designed to wake you up. Scientists are even working on ways to keep garbage from smelling. Researchers expect scents to help students make more sense of what they’re learning.
And just think. Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!
小题1:How do sales methods affect customers in the stores?| A．They change customers’ preferences. | | B．They persuade customers to use credit cards. | | C．They make customers avoid bad and unsafe products. | | D．They influence customers to make unplanned purchases. |
小题2:Why do telephone offices put sweat odor on unpaid bills?| A．Because the sweat odor is a reminder of terrifying experience. | | B．Because the sweat odor can change people’s attitude. | | C．Because most people don’t think much of sweating. | | D．Because many people dislike paying bills. |
小题3:What does the author mean by saying “Someday soon, even your homework may smell nice!”?| A．Students would benefit more from smell research. | | B．Students would be more willing to do homework. | | C．Smell research would develop beyond our imagination. | | D．Smell research would make great differences to our life. |
小题4: Why does the author write this passage?| A．To encourage the store owners to use smells. | | B．To expose wrong practices by smell scientists. | | C．To inform the readers of an interesting subject. | | D．To blame the advertisers that use smells to sell. |

I 60 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise, 61 _ I will control the time I 62 on it properly.

Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to 65 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

The price of milk may be going up. There was not enough rain in some parts of the country last year and the bad weather may mean that a gallon (加仑) of milk will cost 41 cents more after October 1st.
California already has high milk prices and the California court does not want the price to go any higher. High milk prices will be very hard for some people. Families with many children will have to spend more money to buy milk. The poor and older people without much money will also be hurt by higher prices.
The court said that more milk from other states should be sold in California as the price of milk from other states is not as high. Some states got enough rain so their costs did not go up. People will then be able to buy the cheaper milk, meaning that unless milk producers bring their milk prices down, their milk will not sell.
The drought (干旱) around the country has meant market forces are likely to push milk prices up by as much as 41-cent a gallon by October 1st. Experts said this decision by the Californian court could reduce (减少) the effect of the price rise here.
The 41-cent increase would add to California’s already high milk prices so California must allow more milk producers from outside the state to sell their products there. This would then lead to increased supplies (供应), which would, as a result, stop milk prices from increasing.
小题1:Who will be hurt by high milk prices?| A．Young people. | B．Milk producers from outside California. | | C．Rich people. | D．Families with lots of children. |
小题2:What caused milk prices in California to increase?| A．Short supplies from other states. | B．Being short of rain. | | C．The California court. | D．Children’s need for milk. |
小题3:What will California do to keep milk prices down?| A．Force milk producers to lower their price. | | B．Encourage people to drink less milk. | | C．Get men to produce more rain. | | D．Increase the supply of milk in the state. |
