Question

【題目】 For most people, it is easy to read faster. Your reading speed is just a matter of habit. At first, however, you may need to change your bad reading habits. It is important to pay attention when you read. Some people read books and watch TV at the same time. They can't concentrate on the reading material as well as the TV programs. A teacher once told me that I could learn anything well if I did three things: pay attention, pay attention and pay attention.

There are some simple things that you can do to pay better attention and get more from reading. Many researchers say that you will improve your reading ability if you preview the passage before you actually read every word of it. Previewing is a good way to improve your ability to pay attention.

To do a preview you should:

● spend 30-60 seconds;

● look at the title of the passage;

● look at the headings and subheadings. They are usually underlined, in italics (斜體字) or in dark print;

● look at the pictures, forms and explanations;

● read the first and last paragraphs quickly and glance(掃視) at the first sentence of each paragraph;

● close the book and ask yourself:

What is the main idea?

What kind of passage is it?

What is the author's purpose?

You might not think that you could do all these things in so little time, but if you do the preview correctly, you will have a good general idea of the passage. If you have a general idea, you will be able to understand and remember the passage better.

If you can preview better, your ability to pay attention will be better.

Previewing is a good way to improve your ability to pay attention“你可以做一些簡單的事情來提高注意力，從閱讀中獲得更多。許多研究人員說，如果你在閱讀文章的每一個單詞之前先預習一下，你的閱讀能力就會提高。預習是提高注意力的好方法”可知，是為了提高我們注意力的能力，故選A。

例如第2題，根據(jù)關鍵詞how many things以及preview可知，定位至六個黑色圓圈處，所以是六個，故選B。
