How to Read Faster and Have More Study Time

　1Read only the first sentence of a paragraph

　　只读每段的句话

　　Good writers begin each paragraph with a key statement that tells you what that paragraph is about. By reading only the first sentence, you can determine if the paragraph has information you need to know.

　　的作家在每段的开始都会用一个关键句来告诉你这段话讲的是什么。(所以)只读每段的句话，你就能确定这段话是否有你想要了解的信息。

　　If you're reading literature, this still applies, but know that if you skip the rest of the paragraph, you may miss details that enrich the story. When the language in literature is artful, I would choose to read every word.

　　如果你在阅读文献，这条技巧依然适用，但是要知道如果你跳过了这段话的剩余部分，你可能会遗漏丰富整个故事的一些细节。当文献中的措辞十分巧妙时，我会选择逐字逐句阅读。

　　2Skip to the last sentence of the paragraph直接跳到每段的最后一句话

　　The last sentence in a paragraph should also contain clues for you about the importance of the material covered. The last sentence often serves two functions -- it wraps up the thought expressed and provides a connection to the nextparagraph.

　　段落中的最后一句话应该也包含了一些能让你判断这段材料重要性的线索。最后一句话通常有两个作用：总结前文的观点和连接下一段。

　　3Read phrases阅读短语

　　When you have skimmed first and last sentences and determined the whole paragraph is worth reading, you still don't need to read every word. Move your eyes quickly over each line and look for phrases and key words. Your mind will automatically fill in the words between.

　　当你粗略地阅读了首句和尾句，认为整段话都值得一读时，你依然不需要逐字阅读。快速扫行，寻找短语和关键词，你的大脑将自动反应出完整的句意。

　　4Ignore the little words忽略小词

　　Ignore the little words like it, to, a, an, and, be -- you know the ones. You don't need them. Your brain will see these little words without acknowledgment.

　　忽略像it, to, a, an, and, be这样的小词，你懂得。你并不需要它们，因为你的大脑不需要确认就能明白这些词。

　　5Look for key points寻找要点

　　Look for key points while you're reading for phrases. You are probably already aware of the key words in the subject you're studying. They pop out at you. Spend a little more time with the material around those key points.

　　当你在进行短语阅读时记得寻找要点。你也许已经意识到了里面的关键词，它们会突然出现。这时候你就要多花点时间阅读要点周围的文本。

　　6Mark key thoughts in the margins在页边标出重要的观点

　　I know you were taught not to write in your books, and some books should be kept pristine, but a textbook is for studying. If the book is yours, mark key thoughts in the margins. If it makes you feel better, use a pencil. Even better, buy a packet of those little sticky tabs and slap one on the page with a short note.

　　我知道你们都被告知不要在书本上写东西，有些书必须保持整洁，但教材是用来学习的。如果书是你的，就可以在页边标注出重要的观点。为了感觉好一些，你可以用铅笔，更好的办法是，买一小包记事贴，这样就可以把写有简短笔记的记事贴粘在书页上了。

　　When it's time to review, simply read through your tabs.

　　当你要开始复习时，你只要简单读一读记事贴就好。

　　If you're renting your textbooks, make sure you understand the rules, or you may have bought yourself a book.

　　如果你的教科书是借的，你一定要确认一下用书的规则，不然的话你还是得买下这本书哦。

　　7Take notes for practice tests为模拟考试而记笔记

　　Take notes for writing your own practice tests. When you read something you know will show up on a test, write it down in the form of a question. Note the page number beside it so you can check your answers if necessary.

　　记笔记是为了做一份你自己的模拟试题。当你在读一些你认为之后会出现在考试里的东西时，你得把它以问题的形式写下来。在旁边标注一下页码，这样必要时你就可以检查自己的答案啦。

　　8Read with good posture以一个舒服的姿势进行阅读

　　Reading with good posture helps you read longer and stay awake longer. If you're slumped over, your body is working extra hard to breathe and do all the other automatic things it does without your conscious help. Give your body a break. Sit in a healthy way and you will be able to study longer.

　　以一个舒服的姿势进行阅读可以帮助你延长阅读和思维清醒的时间。如果你趴着，你的身体得消耗额外的能量让你呼吸、并且完成其它本来无需意志支撑就能搞定的事情。让你的身体休息一下吧。以一种健康的姿势坐着，你会学习得更久。

　　As much as I love to read in bed, it puts me to sleep. If reading puts you to sleep, too, read sitting up. 我很喜欢在床上读书，但这样会让我睡着。如果阅读也让你犯困，你还是坐直了读吧。

　　9Practice, practice, practice

　　练习，练习，练习

　　Reading fast takes practice. Try it when you are not pressured with a deadline. Practice when you're reading the news or browsing online. Just like music lessons or learning a new language, practice makes all the difference. Pretty soon you'll be reading faster without even realizing it.

　　快速阅读需要练习。当你没有死线压力的时候可以试试。当你在读希望或者浏览网页的时候也可以尝试一下。就像是上音乐课或是学习一门新的语言，多练才会出成果。不久之后你就能在不知不觉中加速阅读啦。
