阅读策略：Scanning
This means moving your eyes quickly down the page to find specific information.
 略读时，只需读每一段第一句话（较长的段落，读前两句）。第一句话常是整段讨论的主题。在结论段，重点可能在最后一句。阅读时，把文本标出来，是帮助回答问题好方法。可将关键词画线或在段落旁写下本段主题，一两个字就够了，关键在于涵盖全文的速度。
 略读时遇到不懂单词，试观察前后字来猜出意思。比如，在不懂的单词字前面是形容词，那么这个字可能会是保户； 在不懂的单字之前是副词，那么这个字可能会是动词。只要了解段落大意就好了。
