An Introduction to Pre-reading

When reading some material, many readers would like to focus on the first line of it and read it through from begin-ning to end. This is not an efficient way of reading. Actually, experienced readers do pre-reading before reading it. Pre-reading is a technique that allows readers to become familiar with the material to be read before beginning to read it thoroughly. 1. It provides readers with a mental outline of the content of the material.

• What is the purpose of pre-reading?

Pre-reading involves getting a quick impression or overview of what you are going to read before beginning to read. It allows you to know about the basic content and organization of the material before you read it.2.

• Why is pre-reading effective?

First, pre-reading helps you to become concentrated on what you will read. Through pre-reading you become interested and involved in the material and get basic information about the content of the article. 3.

Second, pre-reading provides you with a mental outline of the material you are going to read. 4. With this outline already in mind, you are able to read the chapter more easily.

• 5.

You may use the technique of pre-reading before you read any materials, when you read just for an overview of a material, or when you select materials for a specific purpose (e. g. writing a paper, preparing a research report, etc.). Don’t think that pre-reading will waste your time. In fact, you just spend a few minutes on pre-reading, which will help you save a lot of time and make your actual reading fast and easy.

A. When do you apply pre-reading?

B. Does pre-reading waste our study time?

C. The technique involves checking specific parts of an article, a chapter or a book.

D. Thus, you will be able to read faster and follow the author’s thought more easily.

E. You begin to expect the outline of the material and see the relationships of topics.

F. In other words, pre-reading focuses your attention on the content of the reading material.

G. For example, while reading the headings of a chapter, you are forming a mental outline of the chapter.

9．Too many of us are waiting too long to live our best lives．We keep putting everything off until tomorrow．Then，before we know it，we find ourselves asking，"How did it get so late so soon？"
So we'd better make today the beginning of our new life．Take time to figure ourselves out．Take time to realize what we want and need．Take time to love，laugh，cry，and learn．（36）C Here are five things we should start doing today：
Accept ourselves．The secret to happiness and success is the acceptance of ourselves．We will never become who we want to be if we rely on everyone else to qualify us．（37）ESo always go with ourselves，never against ourselves．Be who we were created to be and we will set the world on fire．
Make ourselves a priority．To tell the truth，there are only a few people in this world who will stay 100% true to us，so we should stay true to ourselves．Put our own needs into the list of things to do．

Do the work．We can't underestimate（低估） a person who always works hard．Be that person．（39）GAlways remember that the task ahead of us is never greater than the strength within us．Do what's right，not what's easy．Our dreams are worth it．
（40）F We can't force things to happen； we can only drive ourselves trying crazily．There's a time and place for everything．So don't force what's not yet supposed to fit into our life．When it's meant to be，it will be．Work hard，and be patient．

A．Take positive action．
B．Enjoy every moment of life．

There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”. Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical pattern, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient this approach (方法) probably did not cure many patients.

The second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine”, in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs. These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished (興起) long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times.

The third kind is called “health spas” or “faith healing”. Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell (咒語), to cure you. Some religious groups organize healing shrines (圣壇) for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests (牧師) and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.

On a hot summer day, there are few things that are more wonderful than a nice cool pool.
