Basic Reading Skill VI——Skimming(2)

2. overview skimming

1) Overview skimming is the type of skimming to be used when you have a lot of material to read and don’t have time to read it all.

2) It is the skimming method which is used more than the other two.

3) In this form of skimming, you are trying to get as much information as you can in one exposure.

4) In overview skimming you do a bit more reading than in the previewing.

3. review skimming

It is done on material that has already been read.

The purpose is usually to refresh your memory.

The best times to review are right after the material is learned and just before a test.

All in all:All of the three skimming methods----preview, overview and review are excellent ways to increase the effectiveness of your study time. They all have the advantage that they save study time and increase your learning.

Since Sunday was rainy, we just lay around our house in northern New Jersey. We laughed a lot, and watched Emmy, and then went to bed early.

周日那天下雨，我们就在位于新泽西北部的自家内闲躺着。我们嬉笑着，照看埃米，随后就早早就寝。

3. For some reason he particularly wanted to take care of Emmy that morning. So he fed her and bathed and dressed her. He packed up both our cars, made sure Emmy was tucked into her car seat, and kissed her. Then he stood waving as we drove off.

不知什么原因，他特想照料埃米。他给她喂奶、给她洗澡、给她穿衣。他把两辆车的行李都装好，把埃米在汽车座椅上安置妥当，并吻她。而后当我们开车离开时他站在一边挥手告别。

Put the following sentences into Chinese

4. “Screw it,” he said. “I’m going to go home, get a good night’s sleep, and get up early tomorrow.” He would grab the first flight out of Newark. United Flight 93.“该死，”他说。“我想回家美美睡上一觉，明天早点起身。”他将赶上第一班航班飞离纽瓦克。联合航空公司的第 93 次航班。

5. Tuesday morning found me in the kitchen, fumbling with the lid of the doughnut box, when I heard my father say something about the World Trade Center. I looked in the living room at the TV, and saw the image of the fire poking through the blackened holes in the tower’s silver skin.

星期二早晨我正在厨房设法打开一盒炸圈饼的盒盖时，听到父亲在说什么世贸中心的事。我向客厅的电视瞧过去，看见屏幕上出现从世贸中心银色的外墙上被熏黑的洞中窜出的大火。

6. I was shaking and nauseated, but I also knew I could make myself do whatever was necessary to help Jeremy.

我浑身颤抖，想要呕吐，可同时我很清楚，我还是可以尽一切可能帮助杰里米的。7. “Jer, put a picture of me and Emmy in your head and only have really good thoughts.”杰尔，心里就装着我和埃米，只往好处去想。

8. “For Emmy to know how much I love her. And that whatever decisions you make in your life, no matter what, I’ll support you.”务必让埃米知道我非常爱她。不论你将来做出什么决定，我都支持你。

9. He said there were maybe 30 or 35 passengers, herded to the back. For some reason, however, no one was guarding them back there.

他说约有 30 到 35位乘客，都被赶到客舱的后部，但不知怎的，却无人看管他们。10. The Pentagon was probably the jolt that made him see clearly that his fate and that of his fellow passengers in the rear of the plane were completely in their own hands. 五角大楼一事可能使他受到极大震惊，使他认清他和呆在客舱后面的其他乘客的命运完全掌握在他们自己手中。

11. “Okay, I’m going to put the phone down, I’m going to leave it here, and I’m going to come right back to it,” 好，我放下电话离开这儿，我会马上回来再拿起它的。

我坐在客厅的长沙发上，浑身乏力。

13. He was crying. He gave me a hug. I watched him cry, a bit dumbfounded.他在哭泣，他拥抱了我。我瞧着他哭着，我有点麻木了。

14. He couldn’t manage anything but to cry harder. I must have asked the same question five times. And then, when it finally sank in, I collapsed on the floor.

他除了放声大哭外再也说不出话来。我大概重复问了五次之多。接着，当我明白过来之后，我瘫倒在地上。

15. Often I heard his voice in my head, comforting me when my pain was almost unendurable.

每当我痛楚万分之际，他的声音常常在我耳畔响起，安慰我。

16. Not that I don’t want to know what happened. It’s just that I’m sure I will never really make sense of September 11.

不是我不想了解到底发生了什么，而恰恰是我相信我将永远不可能真正理解 911事件。

17. Did someone declare war on us for a principle? Because they were jealous? To show how tough they were? Did we in this country somehow overstep, push too hard, tread on ancient sensibilities? 是否有人出于原则性问题向我们宣战了？ 或是他们出于嫉妒？或是他们想炫耀其强悍？是否我们这个国家的人越轨了，做得过分了？伤及了人家自古而来的情感？

18. The world Jeremy and I knew was never more than the rooms we lived in, a few places we walked, a few friends and family we loved. Now it’s gone, and no one could ever really make sense of why.

杰里米和我熟悉的世界只不过是我们所居住的房子、几处散步的地方、几个朋友以及我们所热爱的家人。

19. I think Jeremy always suspected he had a higher purpose. I don’t believe it was an accident that he was on Flight 93. It wasn’t mere luck that an airline passenger with precisely the right physical skills to abort one of the terror missions happened to be on the only plane hijacked that day where there was an opportunity to do that.我觉得杰里米一直认为他生来就肩负崇高使命。我也并不认为杰里米乘上第 93次航班是出于偶然。以为具有挫败恐怖行径的旅客正好搭乘了那天被劫持的飞机中唯一一个可以有机会反击劫机者的航班，这不仅仅是一种巧合。

20. Yet I consider us blessed. He and I left nothing unsaid or undone, and he managed to give Emmy and me everything we need.

可我认为我们是幸福的。他与我之间未留下任何未尽直言或未经之事。他总是努力给埃米和我带来我们所需的一切。

有时，倒霉的事儿似乎会到处跟着你。就举不久前我所遭遇的事为例吧。一天我开车去附近一座城市出差，在十字路口，见到红灯亮起我便将车停下来。可是，突然一辆黑色的别克车从后面向我的车子撞过来。我受了点伤。万分忿怒之下我咒骂着下了车，可却发现那车的女驾驶像是撞得不省人事了，她那坐在车后的小孩也受伤了。我只好在口袋里摸找手机报了警。几分钟后一辆警车开来，急忙将女士和小孩送往医院。而我却被告知要待在原处。事实上，尽管我对这事毫无责任，我在两小时后方得以离开现场。回到家，精神力气好像一点儿都没有了。至于出差的事么，我只好取消了。为此，我的工作也受到很大损失。至今，我仍不明白这车祸到底是怎么回事。

Turn the following passage into English, using as many of the words and phrases you have learned from the text as possible:

Reference

Sometimes bad luck seems to follow you everywhere. Take, for example/instance, what happened to me not long ago. One day I drove to a nearby city on business. At a junction I pulled the car to a halt as the red light was on; however, a black Buick suddenly collided into my car from behind. I was slightly injured. Wild with anger I cursed and got out only to find that the woman driver of the other car appeared to have knocked unconscious and her young child, who was sitting in the rear of the car, was hurt, too. I had to fumble in my pockets for my mobile phone and call the police. In a few minutes a police car came and rushed the lady and her child to the hospital. I was, however, asked to stay where I was. In fact, I didn’t leave the scene until two hours later although I was not to blame at all. By the time I got home all my energy seemed to have deserted me. As to the business trip, I had to cancel it. As a result, my work suffered enormously. Up to now, I still can’t make sense of the accident.
