Tips for Reading Skills
在阅读每个段落时，要注意综合 运用略读与扫读这两种方法。
通过略读把握文章大意 略读(skimming)只看文章标题和下标题， 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，要花足够的时间去读段落的 第一句和第二句，直到完全理解其义， 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）。

Hi Zhou LingHow are you? I haven’t heard from you for weeks. Is everything OK with you?Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym three times a week, but I don’t work any more. I know another way to stay slim. Looking good is important to women, isn’t it? Most young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. I’m trying to lose weight because I’m so ashamed of my body. Since I’m preparing to act in a new TV show, I’m taking weight-loss pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here. I hope to lose weight at least 10 kilograms. I take two pills a day and don’t need to exercise.The pills really work! I’m becoming slimmer and slimmer. I’ve lose 7kilogramsin the last two months. However, sometimes I don’t feel so energetic. My mother, who you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous. She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment.Write soon!LoveAmyDear AmyMy computer was broken so I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you are feeling better and recovering.You are right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, and you are a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress. However, your mother knows the best: nothing is more important than health.It’s the same in China---many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story.LoveZhou Ling。
