Reading Groups of Words at Each Glance
It turns out that our eyes can only take in information when they are stopped. What feels like continuous motion is actually move-stop-read-move-stop-read, etc. You can easily verify this by sitting face to face with a partner, holding up a book and watching their eyes as they read. The key is to minimize the number of stops by maximizing the number of words you see at each stop as shown in Figure 6.1.
The person who uses the first eye movement pattern is actually looking at every word, one at a time. The person who uses the second is still looking at every word, but in groups. The person who uses the third eye movement pattern "notices" only a few key words and does so by reading both horizontally and vertically at the same time.
"But the first reader is going to comprehend the material much better than the third!" you may be thinking. Possibly, is my reply. If the third reader actually uses all three eye movement patterns, using the slower patterns very selectively, then he has a better chance of investing his mental energies on the material of most relevance to him.
"The art of becoming wise is the art of knowing what to overlook." William James
The smart reader is one who uses the third technique to scan the entire book (overview) or chapter (preview), and then comes back and uses some combination of the first two techniques to further explore the sections of most relevance.
Getting to both the second and third levels requires a visual reading strategy. You must silence subvocalization and learn to "trust your eyes". This involves shifting your mental reading process from "see->say->understand" to just "see->understand". One way to make this leap is to build up your visualization muscle using the exercises suggested in Chapter 3 and later on in this chapter.
One way to stop subvocalizing (saying words in your head while reading) is to increase the rate at which your eyes move across the page to the point where it is impossible to subvocalize. This means switching your reading strategy to a point whereby you notice gulps of words at each eye resting point. These gulps sometimes involve pulling words from multiple lines. When I did this recently, I noticed that I was still understanding what I was reading but in a different way. I caught myself thinking: "But now I'm not really reading." In other words, part of my mind still believed that the definition of reading was to look at every word and sound it out in my mind.
Another way to look at this issue of subvocalization is that you should develop multiple reading strategies, some of which may include subvocalization and some do not. You wouldn't want a car that only went one speed. You want to have multiple gears (i.e., reading styles) that can be applied based on the unique demands of each situation.
Reading More Selectively
The underlying principle is this:
As the amount of information increases in a given area,
there is an increasing need for the ability to scan that
information at a high level and to be highly selective
of the areas you choose to study in detail.
When I read anything, my objective is not to look at every word and picture as fast as I can. Rather, it is to identify and understand useful ideas as efficiently as possible, and then to either transfer this information to long term memory or note it for future reference.
Imagine arriving at a large lake and being told that somewhere in the water there is a buried treasure. To find that treasure, you could either put on your trunks and go for a swim, or jump in a high speed boat with radar programmed to detect the presence of anything resembling the treasure. This would allow you to do a fairly quick pass over the entire lake, noting areas that look promising, and then go back to each promising location, drop anchor, and go for a dive. You are much more likely to find the treasure because you will have eliminated huge portions of the lake very quickly.
When it comes to reading, your subconscious mind is your radar, and it is "programmed" when you invest time "self-communicating" the outcome you are trying to create.
Of course, when it comes to reading selectively, the most important thing is to make sure you are swimming in the right lake! Any time I'm presented with an information rich environment, such as a bookstore or a trade convention like COMDEX, I invest time up front getting clear on my goals, and then do some high speed scans over the entire terrain before diving into a single book or booth. It often takes discipline to finish the complete scan before stopping at an extremely promising location. Ray Dolby, inventor of Dolby noise rection, encourages would-be inventors not to jump at the first solution because sometimes the really elegant solution is right around the corner.
I have just described a rather left-brain approach to reading. Its complementary opposite is to allocate some time looking for the unexpected. The key to this strategy is to set a specific time limit, since we tend to ignore time when operating in right-brain mode. My experience suggests that without the discipline of setting specific time limits for "right-brain" mode activities, there is a tendency to avoid them in order to maintain personal ecology.
Layered Reading
In addition to using your subconscious mental radar, you can read books more selectively by using a layered reading approach. Here are four phases that commonly show up in layered reading strategies:
Overview: Look over the entire book at the rate of 1 second per page to determine its organization, structure and tone. Try to finish the overview in 5 minutes.
Preview: Should you decide to read further, preview the first chapter at the rate of 4 seconds per page. Pay particular attention to beginnings and endings such as the introction and conclusion, and the first sentences of paragraphs and sections. Mark key sections with Post-it tabs or a yellow marker.
Read: If any part of the chapter warrants closer attention, go back and read it at whatever speed seems appropriate.
Review: As discussed in the following section on memory, doing short reviews periodically after reading new ideas can significantly increase the amount of detailed information that makes it into long term memory.
There are several advantages to having seen every page of a document. It partially eliminates the intimidation of the unknown. It is also much easier to comprehend material at rapid speeds when your eyes have already seen the material twice, even if only briefly. And lastly, your right brain is a lot happier about the whole situation because it has at least some idea of the context or overall picture in which the material is being presented.
Saying that someone has one reading speed is like having a car that only goes one speed. Different material calls for different speeds. Layered reading is about being flexible in the strategy you use to extract useful ideas from written material.
Here are some additional suggestions for reading more selectively:
Focus on key words and ignore filler words. As discussed in the previous chapter, most of the meaning in sentences is transferred by a few key words. Many times it is unnecessary to read all the "is's" and "the's".
Skip what you already know. As you transfer more and more knowledge from an area into long term memory, the sections you can skip will become larger and thus accelerate your journey along the compound learning curve.
Skip material that doesn't apply to you.
Skip material that seems particularly confusing and come back to it if necessary after reading other sections. Books are linear while their subject matter is often multi-dimensional. As Hannah Arendt put it, "Nothing we use or hear or touch can be expressed in words that equal what we are given by the senses." It may be far easier to understand the material in light of information that follows. Giving your subconscious time to incubate the material might help as well.
⑶ 做英语阅读理解有哪些技巧
做英语阅读理解的技巧有:
1、若针对举例子、人物言论出题,需要查找例子以及人物所说的句子前后的内容,然后与各选项逐一核对。
2、在出现一些关键词,如however,but,moreover, therefore,thus时,要特别注意句子前后意义的转折、递进、因果等关系。
3、细节理解题的答案一般是同义替换项或者同义转换。
4、选项中有绝对语气词的一般不是答案。如: must,never, the most, all, merely, only, have to, any, no,completely,none, 等。但不是绝对,也有例外。
5、注意选项中的副词、形容词和介词短语等与原文是否一致。如:must, may, often,should, usually,might, most,more or less,likely,all, never, few等存在程度不同,经常被偷换,往往被忽视。
6、注意干扰项特点:与原文内容相反;与原文内容一半相符,一半不同;叙述过于绝对化;原文没有提及。
(3)例析英语阅读扩展阅读:
阅读积累要提高阅读水平,词汇量与短语量非常重要。所以要提高阅读水平,我们就得学会积累词语。我们不妨这么做:在通读全文后看第二遍,遇到生词尽可能根据上下文来猜,仍猜不出意思的,就查词典,然后将这些词抄写在一本可随身携带的小本子上。
每当有空时,就拿出这个小本子来背诵记忆。这样做不但不费时,而且效果也很好。因为不时地接触、反复地记忆,词汇量会增加得很快。
另外,句子都能看懂,但读完文章印象却不深,这就牵涉到对文章框架结构的整体理解。首先,要重视文章的标题和文章的首句,因为文章的标题或首句就是文章的主题,文章的内容就是围绕主题展开的;
其次,文章的结尾句往往是这篇文章的结论或作者写这篇文章的用意所在;再次,善于标注文章关键句,可以帮助你掌握文章的全貌,理解文章的主题。很多题目就是围绕它们而设计的。
