Reading is a good habit, but the problem is, there’s too much to read these days, and too little time to read every word of it. There are hundreds of skills (技巧) to help you read more in less time. Here are two skills that I think are very good.
Preview — if it’s long and hard. Previewing is very useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading like long magazine articles and science reports.
Here is how to preview.
●Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs (段落) carefully.
●Then read only the first sentence of the other paragraphs.
Previewing doesn’t give you all the details. It tells you not to spend time on things you don’t really want or need to read.
Skim — if it’s short and simple. Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like popular magazines or the sports of your daily paper.
Here’s how to skim.
●Get your eyes to move fast. Sweep them across each line.
●Pick up only a few key words in each line.
Everybody skims differently. You and I may not pick up the same words when we skim the same piece, but perhaps we’ll get the same idea of what it’s all about.
( ) 56. How many skills are talked about in this passage?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
( ) 57. What does the underlined word “preview” mean in Chinese?
A. 精读 B. 默读 C. 朗读 D. 略读
( ) 58. What should we do when we read a science report?
A. Read the first two paragraphs and the last two paragraphs carefully.
B. Spend a lot of time reading the details.
C. Read the first and the last sentences of each paragraph.
D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.
( ) 59. What should we NOT do when we read the news about sports events in a daily paper according to the passage?
A. Get our eyes to move fast. B. Read the last two paragraphs carefully.
C. Sweep our eyes across each line. D. Pick up only a few key words in each line.

There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to develop their interests in many subjects. Open education asks students to be responsible(负责的) for their own education. The open classroom may help them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.
But many students may not do well in an open classroom. For some students, if there are too few rules, they will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional(传统的) education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. It is important for many students to have some rules in the classroom. A few rules will help them. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers show little interest in it.

Taking part in charity is not just for grown-up people. Children can do it too! Melvin Sheppard, 14, an American student, has done charity work for eight years. He has also encouraged his classmates to join him.
Melvin studies at William Allen Middle School in Philadelphia. Recently, he collected $1,500 by himself and $487 from his classmates to donate to Cooper University Hospital.
Melvin was born nine weeks premature (早产) in Cooper University Hospital, weighing 2.6kg. His father told him how Cooper saved his life, so he felt thankful to the hospital.
Melvin's classmates joined him as soon as they found out about his kind behavior(行为). Their teacher, Michael Berner, also held a class with them about helping others. “It wasn’t really about the money,” Berner said. “It was about the fact that they were doing something good.”
“It is great, helping someone that I know,” said Jordan, Melvin's classmate. Melvin's neighbors also helped out.
Since Melvin was 8, he and his parents have given money to Cooper University Hospital every year. This year, Gary E. Stahl, the head of Cooper's division of neonatology (新生儿科), went to Melvin's school to accept the money.
The money goes to a part of the hospital that helps about 500 young patients every year. “When they leave, we call them graduates(毕业生),” Stahl said, “We are pleased when our graduates and their families do well, like Melvin and his family.”
