前言

　　我们在教学中发现，很多学生由于语言水平的局限，习惯于逐字逐句地阅读，注意力通常集中在字和句上，尤其是那些自己不认识的词上。这也就是为什么多数外语学习者总觉得词汇量太小，读不懂，不知作者（文章）所云。那么如何才能成为一个熟练的外语阅读者呢？首先要克服一些不良的阅读习惯，养成良好的阅读习惯，如：　　1.用手、尺子、铅笔等指着单词，一个字一个字地读，这样无形中降低了阅读速度。要养成按照“意群”阅读的习惯，放宽眼睛“扫描”的范围，以提高阅读速度。这可以通过摘抄“好词佳句”来练习。本书每篇文章后的Useful Expressions部分就是一个示范。记忆也要从单纯的单词记忆转为短语、句子记忆。　　2.必须读出声才能理解。也就是说，首先要把字符变成声音，然后由声音转化成意义，这实际上多了一个阅读程序，速度自然也就慢了下来。出声阅读是阅读的初级阶段，要成为一个熟练的阅读者，必须有意识地多进行“默读”练习，学会将字符直接转化成意义的技能。　　3.只动眼睛不动手，这是许多学习者总觉得记不住文章内容的原因之一。阅读时一定要手眼并用，学会做批注，即边阅读，边把标志文章脉络的重点信息或重点词语画出来，这一方面帮助记忆，另一方面也帮助理解。　　4.遇到生词就画下来，这是为什么许多英语学习者总觉得生词太多读不懂的原因之一。通常在阅读时用笔画下的应该是文章的重点，这一点我们回忆一下阅读汉语文章的过程就能发现。而遇到生词就画下来实际上对理解文章毫无帮助，而且会给阅读者本人造成一种心理压力（这么多生词肯定读不懂！），尤其在考试时就更是如此。那么试着把注意力集中到那些已经认识的词或短语上来，你会发现根据这些即使你不能理解所有的细节，也能够理解文章的基本思想。

章节摘录

　　25　increasingly vibrant pop scene. Korean singer BoA outsold all Japanese artists in March. Instead of touring Europe, Japanese women these days are just as likely to visit Seoul to have a massage and shop.[4] Meanwhile, Koreas youth, for whom the trendy present is more relevant than the remote past, sop up Japanese exports such as comic books, animated movies 30　and video games. "The Japanese did us wrong in the past," says 20-year-old Lee Ho Yun as she sips a coffee at a Seoul cacatering to Japanese manga and anita6 fans. "That doesnt mean we still have to hate Japan." During the occupation, Japan forced Koreans to take Japanese names, part of an attempt to stamp out Korean identity. Today Lee and her friends adopt Japanese nicknames for fun. She calls 35 herself Izumi, because "it sounds pretty."[5] The increased exchange can in part be ascribed to the easing of government barriers designed to prevent cultural "pollution." Korea banned imports of Japanese movies, music and other material until 1998. That year, Japans then-Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi signed a written apology for subjugating Koreans, and Koreas40　President Kim Dae Jung agreed to a gradual lifting of the restrictions. Today most Japanese video games and movies can be imported legally. Game console software and songs with Japanese lyrics are still officially banned but are widely available.[6] A stronger reason for cultural drtente is Koreas newfound socioeconomic parity. Even Koreans will admit their lingering resentment is tinged with envy of a45　neighbor that seemed to be so impossibly rich and successful. But in the past several years, the peninsula has come up in the world. Koreas economy is soaring while Japans stagnates. Korean companies that once copied Japanese electronic gadgets are growing fast and developing global brands. Samsung Electronics earned $2.1 billion last year, more than Sony and the other top five Japanese electronics makers50　combined. Korea had the best-performing stock market in the world in 2001. The country is a leader in its adoption of digital technology. At the end of 2001, more than half of Koreas households were using broadband, compared with less than 5 of Japans, and the formers prowess at wireless communications rivals the latters. "Korea is becoming more mature and confident as a nation and Japan is beginning to55　appreciate Korea for its achievements" says Lee Jung Hoon, who teaches Japan-Korean relations at Yonsei University in Seoul. "The momentum is there for a much-improved relationship."
