colleagues is essential to your success.Text A in this unit will give you some suggestions on how to establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss,which means more advancement opportunities for you.Moreover,Text B gives suggestions on maintaining a strong team sense among co-workers,but before that,you may have to accept the competition among employees,which is more prevalent now.In Practical Reading you will read eight practical tips on team building,which is very thoughtful.Besides,you will continue to learn how to scan read passages further.第第3页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Reading Skill FocusWords and ExpressionsPractical ReadingComprehensive Reading第第4页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社Scanning(2)The method of efficient scanning may be briefly summarized as follows:1.Keep it in your mind that you are after specific information,so begin with a very clear understanding of what you are looking for.Limit your search to one or,at most,two items of information at a time.2.Decide in advance what form the information is likely to take in order to locate it very quickly,and then move your eyes quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases related to the information.If it is a persons name,you will want to look forinitial capital letters.Reading Skill Focus第第5页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社If it is the title of a book,you will be looking for italics.If it is a date,you will look for figures.And if it is the description of an event,the discussion of an idea,the definition of a term,or the like,you should be looking for key words whichcould be likely to occur in such a description or discussion.For example,if you are reading a biography to find someones occupation,you should look for words like occupation,work employment,livelihood,and so forth.第第6页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社3.Pass quickly over all material that is not directly related to the information you seek.Donot allow your attention to be diverted from your specific task,for otherwise you will slow down your speed and are even apt to forget your original purpose.第第7页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社AGuided PracticeThe following two questions are based on the passage that follow.Readthe questions first and then find the answers in the passage.1.Whats the mean annual temperature in Louisiana?2.At what time of year does Louisiana have its minimum rainfall?Sample 1第第8页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社The entire state of Louisiana is within a damp,subtropical zone.The average annual temperature of the state is 67 degrees Fahrenheit,and monthly mean temperatures vary from 52 degrees in January and December to 82 degrees in July and August.The length of the growing season is usually between 220 and 250 days in the northern half of the state,and between 250 and 275 days in the southern half.第第9页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社The annual rainfall of the state averages about fifty-five inches,with a minimum in autumn.In the southern half the maximum is in summer,with frequent heavy thunderstorms,in the northern half the winter and spring rains exceed those of summer.Cane sugar is the principal product of the delta region,and rice is grown in the prairies of southwestern Louisiana,and near the coast such subtropical fruits as oranges,olives,figs and grapefruit are grown.Outside of these areas,cotton is the principal crop.第第10页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社当我们试图找到某个详细信息时，通常不需要通篇仔细阅当我们试图找到某个详细信息时，通常不需要通篇仔细阅读。要做只是快速找到这个信息在文中所处位置。找到详读。要做只是快速找到这个信息在文中所处位置。找到详细位置之后，再集中精力仔细阅读此处。细位置之后，再集中精力仔细阅读此处。因为本文一开头便说明了文章讲是因为本文一开头便说明了文章讲是state

in adding voices to films？第第12页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社2.What was the first film made with actorsvoices？3.What did Walt Disney create？4.How many people went to the cinema every week in the 1930s？第第13页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社The Silver ScreenThe earliest films copied the techniques of the stage.It was not until 1908 that thefamous American director,D.W.Griffiths,showed that the cinema was very different from the theatrefilms could move quickly from place to place,and could show actors close up.Between 1900 and 1930,going to the“pictures”(GB)or“movies”(US)became more and more popular.At first,films were shown in small public halls;but soon specially-built cinemas began to open.第第14页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社By 1915,serials had begun to appear:each episode had an exciting ending,which encouraged the audience to come back the following week.It was at this time that Hollywood became the capital of the film world,and began to make its famouscomedies,with actors like Charlie Chaplin.Until the late 1920s,films were silent.The words spoken by the characters were shownon cards on the screen.Many cinemas had a pianist who played music to accompany the film.第第15页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社There were two problems which had to be overcome before voices could be added.Onewas to make the sound loud enough for everybody in a cinema to hear,and the other was synchronizationmatching the sound to the lips of the speakers.In 1926,Warner Brothers,an American film company,decided to add record music totheir films;and in 1927 they included some speech in their film The Jazz Singer.In the same year,1927,the first news film with sound was made.第第16页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社The Jazz Singer was very successful;but film companies found it difficult to changefrom silent films to“talkies”.With silent films,they had been able to make several scenes atonce in one studio.Now,they had to build soundproof studios and films only one scene at a time.They could not move the cameras freely,as they had to build glass screens round them to quieten the noise they made.第第17页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社A director called Walt Disney realized that these problems did not affect cartoon films;so many of the first films with sound were cartoons.It was Disney who,in the late 1920s,created Mickey Mouse.The studios gradually learnt new techniques,and the 1930s became the golden age of Hollywood.At this time,the cinema audience was estimated at 75 million people a week;and the two biggest American companies,Paramount and MGM,were making over 500 films a year between them.Many new kinds of films developedmusicals,Westerns,thrillersnow that sound was possible.第第18页页大连理工大学出版社大连理工大学出版社选择题目中含有显著标志或明确意义词作为关键词有利于选择题目中含有显著标志或明确意义词作为关键词有利于定位信息以快速找到定位信息以快速找到答案。答案。第第1 题关键词是题关键词是two
